A Decade Reviewed!

It is hard for me to think that 2000 was so long ago!! Ten years! I remember the hype for years prior worrying about all the computers malfunctioning as we rolled into "00" Y2K!! The hobby's paycheck was ever so good then!

I would call this the decade of tech! I am amazed in ten years how technical life has become, that is if you so choose to be! Imagine a world without the iPod (much less the iPhone), without Facebook, without wireless data, then there is YouTube, Microsoft, Windows, Wii, Notebooks, Books on line, Windows 7, flat panel TV's, etc. .... wow!!

Also the decade of history was made, first with the attack of 9/11, because it certainly altered the international order of things. The decade ended with another historic mark, 2009 with the election of our first black president. Diversity is leading to a different America. Another shift we’ve seen recently is in our attitude on global warming and climate change, it’s something that’s really solidified in the past decade and hopefully will continue into the next.

Also do you realize this decade has had NO NAME! If I said remember the '60's, 70's or 80's it would conjure up images in your mind. In ten years what do they call this decade the "00's" the double zeros, the millennium years???

A decade is in a sense a closure of time, one decade ends a new begins.

Newsweek did an interesting video called The Decade in Seven Minutes ... I thought it was very interesting!!



AMAZING Clip!!!

Lets Hope the next decade finds US ALL happy and healthy!!
