2010 In Review

2010 is almost over, which is a bit crazy. I was looking through some science fiction books and I realized that I can’t read them anymore. They sound too much like the present. Everything strangely makes me think of Justin Bieber. It’s like we’re living in that future time. Above is a video covering the Google Zeitgeist, the most searched for terms over the past year. It’s interesting, there were a lot of natural disasters, a few cases of people overcoming disaster, and a whole lot of famous people I don’t know. I remember when I used to pay attention to pop culture, but a part of my brain is permanently pickled in the 90s. But here’s to the noughties. It was a bit confusing, but in all a good show.

“Pop culture… but a part of my brain is permanently pickled in the 90s”

You mean American pop culture in the 90s? Yeah, mine too.
