From the December 6, 2010 Time Magazine.
BIRTHS DURING THE DECADE: (In quotation marks = from Time.
WIKIPEDIA--Jan. 15, 2001-- I sure use it a lot.
IPOD-- Oct. 23, 2001-- "The ability to carry 1,000 songs in your pocket while listening to the same 30 on shuffle." Never had one, myself.
THE EURO-- Jan. 1, 2002-- "Now gone: francs, guilders, marks, lire, pesetas, drachmas, markkas, escudos." Don't like it. Much cheaper buying stuff in Europe before the Euro.
CROCS-- Fall 2002-- "This was the shoe that said, 'No need to respect me today.'" Boy, were they ugly!!
US DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY-- Nov. 25, 2002-- Thanks a lot, terrorists.
FACEBOOK-- Feb. 4, 2014-- "Sometime around 2032, pictures of this weekend's kegger will be a key issue in the presidential election." Not "Faced" yet.
YOU TUBE-- April 23, 2005-- "America's id was revealed, and it was shaped like kittens." I can sure get stuck for hours looking at old 60s band videos. Who needs MTV? They don't show videos anyway, even of "old groups."
TEA PARTY-- February 2009-- "The most powerful populist movement since the Progressives." Want some sugar with your tea?
