It's 2020 and You're in the Future⁠↗

It’s also weird that to us, the 2020s sounds like such a rad futuristic decade—and that’s how the 1920s seemed to people 100 years ago today. They were all used to the 19-teens, and suddenly they were like, “whoa cool we’re in the twenties!” Then they got upset thinking about how much farther along in life their 1910 self thought they’d be by 1920.

When World War 2 started, the Civil War felt as far away to Americans as WW2 feels to us now.

But the weirdest thing about kids today: most of them will live to see the 2100s.
