We need to start making the years sound cool
I already do
Roaring 20s, Dirty 30s incoming
I think we need cool years as a baseline first. This is hardly comparable to the ‘roaring twenties.’ The 90s and the 2000s were the best decades ever. But for names, they will all be called twenty- tens, twenties, thirties, etc
2000s were awful in my view.
Slow technological progress compared to the fast-paced changes during the 1990s.
I was constantly frustrated by subpar technologies that got popular somehow.
CD-Rs that could not be rewritten,
LCD screens that you could not view from the side and had these washed-out colors,
and people actually complained about improved colors because “we don’t like those candy colors”
Slow internet that kept being slow as webpages got larger faster.
The whole decade should have been condensed to a year.The only good thing about it was that computer parts were cheap.
Slow technological progress compared to the fast-paced changes during the 1990s. The 2010s picked up the pace
What do you mean? Moore’s law died in the 10’s. You’re being reached by a device from early in them and it’s fine.
Flat screen TVs replaced CRT in the 2000’s, the iPhone came out in 2007, HD home media in the form of Blu-Ray, the PS3 and xBox 360, and mass internet adoption all occurred in the 2000s. You just didn’t think it was special because you were growing up with it. The slow web pages you complain about are because telecom companies in the US took billions of federal grants to upgrade their systems and then just pocketed it
Must have been living during a different 2000s than you…
Progress was crazy during the 00s.
In 2000 we still had clunky stationary computing only, in most cases without or only with modem speed online access.
Photography still was analog, music came on huge, physically fragile silver discs.
By 2010, wireless always-on access had become ubiquitous, fully digitalized private life for most.Everything coming after 2010 feels like almost complete stagnation in comparison.
Only exception: recent generative AI technology. And l am not sure if I am happy about that…
Damn, are you a boomer bro? haha
I like calling the 00s the “odds”.
I use 2ks (“tookays”).
I call them the Noughties
The best name I’ve heard for the 2000s is “the noughties”, as in the plural of nought, zero.
then the teenies
What are the odds?
If anything, shouldn’t they be the evens?
the 00’s
I like to say “in the early century”
Yeah, I think they will be called the twenty-thirties. Maybe once we get closer to 3000, we can do it.
I wonder if in the early 1900s, people had this problem too.
You mean closer to 2100? Because we have more than 900 years to go for 3000 haha
Yes 😂
