So the internet may have some downfalls for some people,does the good not outweigh the bad?:)
>>> Duuuude, "Internet" the World Wide Web project (just as we know it today) began in the 90`s.. My school used to have a computers with internet connection in 1995. This decade had nothing to do with it..

There's always 4chan. But some might say that's a bad thing.
The internet kicked off on a large scale come the 00s thoughQuote:

This decade isn't so bad, but nothing compares to the 90's. People just seemed happier then.
I remember ushering in Y2k with Diablo.
No doubt I spent NYE of '99 playing video games. Little has changed since then really. Hell, little has changed since I was 5.
Just ignore that LITTLE MANUS. He lives in a cave somewhere far from the civilized and known world. :bigsmile:Quote:

I spent that New Year's Eve watching some late night special that was showing the Three Stooges. It was glorious.
Mp3 players
Digital cameras
major progress in Mobile phone technology
Broadband
YouTube
Wikipedia
file sharing takes off
Finding water on mars
Finding a cure for the HIV virus (sort of)
Lost a planet, got a couple new ones.
not my cup of tea, but gotta hand it to them:
World of Warcraft - 11 million subscribers
The Sims franchise - 100 million copies sold
Harry Potter series
and two things I appreciate:
People starting to wear non-ugly clothes and getting decent haircuts
Quality boost in TV-shows
last two points may be ended with an imho
- The iPod, and related to this:
- Physical music formats abandoned by the masses in favour of digital formats, and also related:
- Major record labels starting to sink
- "Indie" fashion and music entered mainstream culture
- The modern emo and "scene" subcultures
- Social networking websites like MySpace, Bebo, Facebook
- YouTube
- Barack Obama
- 9/11
- War on Terror
Those are the things that stick out most when I think of the past decade. I'm sure that, in another 10 years, I'll have forgotten some of that and remembered other, different things.
Also, the internet may have kicked off in the 90's, but I would argue that :bou::bou::bou::bou: didn't get real until everyone started getting their own MySpace.
