The funny thing is that because of my age, these decades pretty are lining up with major periods of my life. I was born in late 1987, so most of my childhood was in the 1990s, and then once we hit this decade I hit adolescence, and in this upcoming decade I will be a college graduate off into the "real world.'
But from a less egocentric perspective, I kind of see the 1990s as a time of tech boom and the world getting used to the fact that we were no longer in the Cold War era. In a lot of ways it seemed like a decade, at least in the U.S, where we got just a bit too comfortable. This decade? I see it as a decade of awakening. Terrorism has come to the forefront of our minds. The economy? Not so great. The future somehow looks a bit more grim from right here.
