I remember New Years 1989. We were playing Dungeons & Dragons at a sleep over at my friend's house. I recall thinking, "There goes the 80's." At the time, that decade contained the majority of my existence. I think New Years Eve 1989 felt more momentous to me than the one of 1999. I don't recall where I was New Years 2009. 2019 sounds like a science fiction date. CNN's website looked better in 2004 than it does today. The New York Times' website looks better today than it did in 2004. Things are changing quickly. We are on a wild ride, although it's easy to forget. In the original 1989 Shadowrun game, the "Computer Crash of 2029" is what leads to the creation of The Matrix. The Matrix movie came out ten years later, in 1999.
