Its the roaring 20's of the 21st Century. Honestly not much has changed from the 20's of the 20th Century (1900s). As humans we still party like nothing else is as dramatic about our lives. We still complain about the minor things or major things which really don't directly affect us. Natural & Man-made Disasters are still occurring, doesn't appear to end either. --------- I guess the only difference is that with technology, we can see things on a global scale, as opposed to just whatever you hear on the radio or see in a newspaper. There's is progress around the world and stagnancy in some parts too.
We are already at the point where people are living beyond a 100 years now. Referred to as Centenarians or people past the age of 100 years. As of 2012, there were an estimated 316,600 living Centenarians worldwide. I guess the goal now would be to become Bicentennials or people that live past 200 years. Ah the advances with technology~
