With the decade behind us, a clearer perspective of it as a whole is to be gained. So, fellow frequenters of TMK, let me ask you this: What's your verdict on this millennium thus far?

Not anywhere as futuristic as I was lead to believe it would be. Hopefully it'll finally be the future in this decade.

Seconded.  I want a hover car in the next five years, and I want it cheap; say, about $39,999.95.

I still want to know how to pronounce the name of the decade.  The Double-Zeros? The Ohs? The Aughts? The Naughts?

You mean 2000-2099? Or 2000-2999?

I, for some terrible reason, say it as The Aughts.

It's scary to know that, in 60 or 65 years' time, I'll be listening to century-old music.

Don't be scared.

Why is this scary? I listen to century-old (and older) music all the time.

Anyway, this letter summarizes my feelings regarding this past decade quite nicely. Really, it's amazing to consider how trivial the expected implications of "Y2K" were, not to mention those millennial doomsday proclamations, compared to everything else which occurred in the nine years which followed.

This. Deal with it.

As for my analysis of the first full decade I've ever lived through, just imagine this is the opening of A Tale of Two Cities, except with intermittent references to videogames, the internet, and junk food.

Food for thought: At the beginning of this decade, gamers were just speculating about the long-awaited Nintendo "Dolphin" and its portable counterpart, the "Atlantis". Who knew that all the technical power of a SNES could be packed into a handheld device?
