Started during the reign of King Louis VII in 1163, Notre Dame cathedral took 182 years to build. Four or five generations of stone masons, carpenters and labours worked on the gargantuan construction project. Today we build virtual worlds for 2.9 billion people in the time it would have taken one of those stone masons to learn his craft. What differs in the minds of those that built things centuries ago to those that build today is not only their concept of time and what the future holds but more importantly the concept of whether something is ever finished.
