The new millennium has just begun and we have just only been about 12 years in the new millennium. Nothing really has changed much since the dawn of the millennium and it seems like it is still a continuation of the 20th century. The first traces of the millennium took place about the 1980s with the rise of computer technology and in the office; we were having a different view of the millennium. By the 1990s, the world was connected and in all practical purpose, it is the 21st century.
The 21st centurty is going to be based on the individual and our individual goals - enough with our group stuff and we are starting to become every man for themselves. The Top 40 and corporate media is something that is going to be so 20th century, but we are still hanging on to it. Now we are in the era of YouTube and more independent thinking. The new millennium is not going to be an era with a bunch of hipsters - I can see some conformity in the new millennium and comformity is good. We do need to have some standards, but you can't be an extreme conformist. It is best to be in a in between state.
I am starting to have visions of the new millennium and the 21st century. I had always heard of this dystopia world where it is going to be rising war, global warming, economic crisis, pollution, and the decline of morality. I doubt that is going to happen. I have a feeling that we are at the end of the storm and things are going to turn around. The environment is not much of a problem - the world does look pretty clean; it is actually a lot cleaner that it was during the time of the Revolutionary war. I don't think industrialism is going to cause a problem either - we do need industralism and we need to have agriculture. China does not have to do all the work that we don't want to do.
I can see a pretty peaceful and connected world emerging when everyone is let to set free and to do whatever the please under certain standards. The internet is the best connector of the world - it lets the individual shine and I can see this under YouTube, Blogger, and eBay, along with the numerous other sites on the internet. The internet has been a savior for lots of us - we are all connected and we are exposed to many culture and lifestyle, and we are starting to under our differences, as well as our similarity. Google Earth is a great place to travel the world and some of the pictures and videos are amazing.
When you use the internet right, our world seems to be getting better. A lot of people are finally getting out of their nest and learning many new things. The internet could be a great place for religion to be spread and the message of Jesus, Buddha, or whatever their beliefs could be spread around the world. It is a great place to interact with other people just like you to show that you are not alone. Looking at college dorm videos on YouTube and some of the vlogs on YouTube shows me that I am not alone, and there are people just like me; even I am better off than some people. Another thing that I increase my happiness is to look at people from around the world that don't even have access to a computer or even books, and I am amazed and how lucky that we have it around here. I notice that the people are pretty happy in their ways, walking around in their primitive ways.
I am feeling optimistic about what is going on about the world - I can see something is going to turn for the better. We had been at the bottom of the heap and the only way you can go up. It is a change in society - we are transitioning from the old 20th century society into the more modern 21st century society.
I can see something that is going to be based on the 1950s going to be something of the 21st century. The '50s are very 20th century but really it is the first traces of the 21st century. Everyone says that the world started to modernize about the 1960s or the 1970s. That is a continuation of the progressive era of the 1900s, but it seems to be more focus on feminist freedom. Women wore shorter skirts in the 1920s and then they had to work out in the 1940s during the time of the war. The two income thing was going on at the turn of the century. This stuff is actually a thing of the past. We are entering the new millennium.
The new millennium again is probably going to be a homebound, down to earth era where people are connected to each other. The internet has revolutionized everything and it is probably going to continue revolutionizing the work world, the education world, the entertainment, and even social world. You are starting to be able to go to school in your pajamas or go to work naked. You can telecommute and you can talk to people across the world at your fingertips. It is that awesome.
I can see the world is changing and the world is changing for the better.
