alot happened in the decade just gone, but how will it be remembered? some decades are remembered for wars or movements, where there any in the last 10 years that you think people will remember them for?

From a western civilization perspective I believe that the past decade will be heavily remembered as a period of great prosperity which preceded a period of increasing economic challenges. Without even considering any large governmental changes, or the out of control spending/debt of many governments, the massive reduction in access to credit will change how wealthy many people are; and how wealthy most people feel.

Technology. This was the decade that cell-phones and broadband internet really became not only mainstream, but integral to daily life.

Much like how at the end of the 20th century, we generally associated the 1900s as being around the time that the "modern" world really began, with the mass-adoption advent of electricity and radio, as well as the invention of air travel. The people of the future for whom our communications ways will be even more integral will see this decade as really the first decade of their modern world.

the war against muslims.

lol

seriously?

I disagree ...

There was no consumer electronics that were new or particularly revolutionary in this decade, and much of what you are associating with this decade began in the 1990s or 1980s. What made the early 1900's so important was not the adoption of the technologies it was the invention of technologies and processes (assembly line) which changed the world dramatically; and many of the technologies that were invented in the early 1900s did not (really) see high levels of adoption until the 1950s.

There is one exception I would like to make on my previous statement though ... One revolutionary market really began in this decade but we probably won't really see the impact until we're mostly retired; consumer robotics. Items like the Roomba (robotic vaccuume) and a vast array of primitive robotic toys have started us down the path which will eventually lead to more and more robots showing up in day to day life.

I'm sure the whole world will remember that...

(J/k, I can see you being sensative if you had such a crappy decade, so no offence meant. Good luck bud)

hahaha rofl ,you got me there...
