Subject: In 2020 1980 will be 40 years ago

Written By: d90 on 04/12/18 at 9:49 pm

1980 is now closer to the end of WW2 in 1945 than it is to late 2010s and early 2020s. :o

I see a trend here ... Does that mean 1970 will be 50 years ago?

It does.

That also means I'm going to be 40 years old at that time.

Yes it will be weird thinking of 1970 as half a century ago. It looks a lot more modern compared to the 1950s and even the early 1960s.

Well, I say: bring on those new 90s!

Yeah, it's pretty impressive how old the 60s-80s are getting considering those three decades were very future-obsessed and modern compared to the ones before them (though an obsession for the future is something all decades of the 20th century share in common).

Can't wait till people compare the 2990s to the 1990s lol I said 2990s because the 1990s was the last decade of the second millennium.

I will turn 91 in 2090. That's definitely possible, especially as medicine advances in the coming decades.

Menopause and a longer live are theorized to be nature's way of stressing on the importance of grandmothers in children's growing up phase :)
