The noughties are here and not over yet but technology is moving faster and faster every day.  This is the decade which has seen most changes, the one we are in.

Socially, climate wise, economically, morally, politically, technologically, scientifically, artistically, in fact in almost any way I can think of to describe it, these last ten years, or even the last 7 1/3 if we're counting decades as being complete within a frame.

DNA, migration patterns of people, wars and invasions, totality of governments (PNAC), movement of money into fewer hands, record size of mergers broken every few months, speed with which computers and techs get outmoded for newer faster stuff, sliced cows on display in art galleries!!, mass battles over food, floods (including the tsunami), Rise of China and India as economic power houses, GW Bush, it's all happening now and having a vast impact on all of our lives.
