I would write an in-depth account of the decade, comparing and contrasting with previous decades, and forecasting what the coming decades may hold for us. But - I've only lived through two decades, and I'm not going to sound more pretentious than I usually do by harping on about how the 60's era of social revolution characterised the way in which we blah blah blah.
The noughties was awesome. So were the 90's. You know why? Because they're the only two decades I've lived in.
I survived Swine Flu, Bird Flu, the Iraq War, globalisation, over-exposure to 'I gotta feeling', my first time getting drunk, my 50th time getting drunk, 9/11, 7/7, global warming, going to secondary school, going to university, the death of Steve Irwin, the birth and death of bebo and myspace, the world-domination plan of facebook, that machine they thought was gonna end the world, and god-knows-what else the 00's threw at me and the rest of the world.
What does the teenies have in store for us? I don't know. But I'm willing to wager it's going to be awesome.
p.s - hover crafts.
