What's this decade called?

[Soso0]

We have 70s. 80s, 90s, etc but what is the 2010-2020 decade called?

For those of you  who have been alive for at least two decades or more what was your mindset when you were younger. Were you told the world in general was going to improve?  And if so has the future (now) fulfilled your expectations of what you thought the world would be like in the future.

I am asking this because as a kid I had that image that the world was going to become a Utopia. Now I am trying to figure out if I was some way indoctrinated to think that way or it was just my imagination running wile as a kid. I always thought things were supposed to get better with age. But after 20 years of existing on this world I have figured out that this is not the case and that in fact it may possibly be getting worst. Unsure if that's because lately I've just really been trying to learn about what's going on around the world. It's possible that due to technology we are now able to  cover stories easily as opposed to pre internet when people could only get stories from newspapers or news channels. I do hear a lot of people say how there is much more crime compared to the 'old' days but then I remember how most of the general population is just full of idiots lol

I think I went off on a tangent there lol

I don't think it could get much worse without going past the tipping point.

My generation grew up with "Back to the Future", we expected flying cars.

It's funny, I watched part 2 where the setting takes place 1 year from now and one of the only things they predicted correctly was Skype with the television conference calls. Everything else is just super absurd like the hydrated pizza and numerous fax machines around the house.

I knew 10 years ago that technology would soon enslave us all and send society into terminal decline.

So I enjoyed the hell out of my adolescent years while they lasted and now I'm just waiting around to see the imminent destruction and chaos.

idk technology is okay I think. I feel the answer to life however ia copious drugs and much meditation and socialization, but my parents seem to take issue with me being a hippy

I remember people thinking that they are progressive because of what year it was, like we were living in the future so things should automatically be different. For example, "Come on, it's 2014 for crying out loud (or FFS for you trendy folks). We should already be xyz." The present never seems to be good enough for what we hoped it to be in the past.

I don't really remember being told to expect the future to be a certain way. I grew up thinking that I had better figure out how life works if I want to make it, and that's not because my parents told me to think that way. I say your life is what you make it to be, so I expected to get from the future what I put into the present. The past is only used to prevent repeating mistakes, though I hated history classes.

Though I didn't expect the future to be grand, I am a but disappointed with how some things are going in society, but I'm also impressed at other things.

All in all, learn from the past, make goals for the future, live in the present, and most importantly, take time to enjoy the little things in life.

Is it the technology that has impressed you?

A few things I'll add about this decade an improvement in rap music compared to the 00's and though the country is going downhill a few more people are opening their eyes but at the same there are many that are blinded

[Daran]

Either the LGBT faggots united decade or the stoned decade. I hope for the latter.
