    Spose we'll have to wait...does it not just seem like "the 90's continued"? A few memorable events...

    - Millenium 2000 (Millenium Bug, remember that?) Will just remember the concept not the details
    - CELTAAAAC TIGGGGER WOOOOHOOO will vaguely remember
    - Growth of mobile phones for me this just seems like a convergance of 90s & 00s
    - Growth of internet same as above
    - Growth of computers same as above
    - 9/11 and related events will defo remember
    - Invasion of Middle East will defo not remember
    - Russia and Georgia conflict will defo not remember
    - North Korea's continued unsettlement will defo not remember
    - Ireland see's relative peace in the North for me this just seems like a convergance of 90s & 00s
    - Ireland and the Nice Treaty, Lisbon Treaty will defo not remember
    - The Tsunami in Sri Lanka and surrounding areas will defo not remember
    - Ireland winning Grand Slam and Triple Crown in rugby will just watch the DVD/Blu ray or whatever format is hip in the future
    - The late 2000's recession will wait and see how bad things get in the future, this might be overcast but worse economic times to come
    - Inauguration of first black US president will remember I suppose, but probably won't care all that much
    - H1N1 swine flu scare (first pandemic in 50 years) will defo not remember
    - The Ryan Report may vaguely remember
    - Death of Michael Jackson will very sadly remember.

    That's about all that I can quickly recall
    :pac:

    On a personal level, it will be the decade I grew to adulthood in.

    In history, it will be the decade where the west started a long and terminal decline in power after over 200 years on top.

    Are the two connected in some way?

    - CELTAAAAC TIGGGGER WOOOOHOOO


    I would have thought the Celtic Tiger more associated with the 90s?

    It's reached it's peak in the noughties, after the recovery of the dot.com bubble burst.*
