The 1990s felt like an entire lifetime. I was in Kindergarten though High School.

The 2000s felt long too: High School through college to my first job.

The 2010s was over super quick. I worked full time, changed jobs twice, and got married. Hurricane Sandy in 2012 still feels like yesterday.

I can imagine the 2020s will feel even shorter. And now we know why all of our relatives always said "Wow you got so big!" every time they saw us.

If you're really in need of a depressing thought, there will come a day when you actually ask the Internet: "How much longer do I have?"

At least we can rely on fake news, spam and noise for one thing: getting the answer wrong.
