The Decade With No Name

The internet itself, while transformative, can't be said to be a "90's" thing. It's going to continue well into the future, and won't be a unique attribute of one particular decade any more than, say, the automobile was of the decade it transformed.

For something to be decade-flavorful, it has to have either disappeared or morphed nearly beyond recognition. If the styles and music of the 20's or the 50's had continued on, they wouldn't be the styles of the 20's or the 50's.

I dig CP's particulars about the 90's, but it all still seems a continuation of the 80's to me.
