the decade in retrospect......those crazy Oh-Oh's

My thoughts about the "Double Aughts":

*Ubiquitous computing and communications - the Wireless decade and/or the Google decade (Napster, "Can you hear me now?", YouTube, cell phone plans as a commodity, instant and constant internet access, digital divide, etc)

*Music - post-millenial tension a'la indie- and post-rock + weird Americana (band *of* the decade - Interpol, followed closely by Explosions in the Sky)

*Politics - the decade of unchecked political expediency (e.g. state-sponsored terrorism, rendition, massive deficeits, political fundamentalism/demagoguery, etc)

*Culture/business - the decade of globalism (zenith of multinationals, off-shoring, Enron/Worldcom, immigration, greenwashing, etc)
