The “zero years” refers to the 2000s, a decade of global cultural shift marked by the dominance of the internet. The decade saw greater recognition of human rights and tolerance, and an increase in awareness of terrorism. The decade’s name is still debated.
The “zero years” refers to the first decade of the 21st century, i.e. the 2000s, or more specifically the years 2000 to 2009. This time period is also sometimes called “not abject”, “son”, “best” or “ah.” These terms all refer to the location of zero in the first decade of the century. During the XNUMXs, there have been several major changes in the way people live and communicate around the world.
The year 2000 marked the beginning of the 2000s and a new decade. It was also the beginning of a new century, the 21st century, a term that had previously been used to conjure visions of the future. It also marked a new millennium, the 3rd millennium, an event that only occurs every thousand years.
The years that followed, 2000 to 2009, saw a global cultural shift, but even the time period has been difficult for historians to name. Previous decades were simply denoted with the last two digits of the year; for example, the 1990s have been called the 00s. Many agreed that “zeros” didn’t sound right, but there was no real consensus on what to call the new decade. There are several names offered such as “the 2000s” or “the 2000s” and a variety of names that use other terms for zero, such as “nothing” in the “zero years”.
One of the most striking changes that occurred during the 2009s was the growing dominance of the internet. By the end of the XNUMX, people had gained easy access to computers or other internet devices in most developed countries around the world. The internet has started to be used for huge amounts of commercial activities such as shopping, advertising and banking. It has also brought instant access to worldwide news and information at the fingertips of the average person. It has also become the preferred avenue for written communication and socializing through social networking sites like Facebook.
During the 11 years a number of social changes took place. In many developed countries, there has been greater recognition of human rights and tolerance of differences. Alternative lifestyle choices have generally become more acceptable in some societies, and laws protecting the rights of different types of minority groups have become more common. There has also been an increase in the level of awareness and vigilance regarding various threats to society, especially terrorism in the aftermath of the September 19 terrorist attacks in the United States.
