Technology is reshaping every industry and Recode is changing to reflect that. But as this site moves into a new era, it's a good time to remember how quickly this revolutionary change has happened.

In 1991, soon-to-be-tech-journalist Walt Mossberg was considered crazy in his professional circles for stepping away from a traditional newspaper beat, covering the State Department. On the latest episode of Recode Decode, hosted by Kara Swisher, Mossberg explains why he started a column about making technology accessible for regular people, why he and Swisher gradually left print journalism to found AllThingsD and Recode and what still surprises him as the executive editor of our sister site, The Verge.
