Why can't we adapt to the Moore's Law?

The first day I went back to KXAN this semester, the only task I had was change the archive date of several pages. By default, all of our story pages will be archived one year later. This model works fine with stories, but not for our subindex pages. Therefore, we spent around half day simply to change the archive date of tons of pages so that they wouldn't be automatically offline soon.

We changed the date to 2016, which isn't really far from now. However, all of us know that we will NOT be using the same system at that time. We definitely will have new pages for that time. Four years doesn't sound like a very long time, but on web, it's like forever.

Thanks for the short life cycle of desruptive technology, nothing will be the same after two years.

But isn't everchanging also part of Journalism's nature?

Why can reporters deal with news, that's different everyday, but not techonology, which changes significantly only every two years? I know this is not a fair analogy, but think about it this way. News industry should have most information to understant and predict the movement of technology development. And maybe, just maybe, if the resource is used well, news industry can be better prepared for the technology evolution, which never happened.

Why?
