In 1996, The Spice Girls were at the top of the pop music charts. DVDs had just been launched. The number of Internet host computers increased from 1 million to 10 million. And the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed into law.
Now, 20 years later, two of the Spice Girls launched a website that celebrates the group’s two decade’s worth of “girl power.” A DVD is more likely used as a coaster for a cold drink than as an entertainment medium, and the number of host computers on the world wide web is well over 1 billion. And, most unfortunately, we’re still struggling with HIPAA.
