2009 is the first big breakpoint:
>36% of Americans had a Facebook account
>20% of Americans had a smartphone
>Number of widescreen LCD panel users surpassed square LCD panel users in the US
>Digital game sales hit 20% in the US
Second half of 2009 seems like a big breakpoint and all of the today's cancer(which actually started in 2007 but weren't popular at least for 2 years) spread into general population and popularized for the first time. If you only consider young population(-25) all of these statistics would be x2 or more.
I remember all of the popular Turkish family sitcoms ended in 2009-2010 and major TV channels stopped broadcasting cartoons like Smurfs, Scooby Doo and Looney Tunes. That is a sign of atomized childless society with no family values. Opinions?

I don't have any opinion beecause I am not a dinosaur unlike you, I was 2 years old in 2009.

>>212972486

Yeah, I’m sure he’s super bummed out about not remembering the Great Recession and Arab Spring

>>212972486
>Kids born in 2007 can post on this website now
What the fuck

>>212972486
>2 years old in 2009

Eh, you’re not missing much anyway.

t. Was 13 in 2009

>>212974435
Great Recession is nothing compared with today and didn't affect our lives that much if you aren't working on financial/investment/banking/insurance business or a NYC white collar. We felt almost zero in Turkey.
>Arab Spring
Started in late 2009 or 2010. Not in 2000s.
You are a zoomer pretending like you are older.

>>212974719
Wasn’t Arab Spring in 2011? I thought it was the same year as Occupy Wall Street. I think I was in high school when it happened.

God the 2010s sucked

This is what they took from you.

The breaking point was when the iPhone was released

>>212975054
All of these are pure soul they felt like owning actual spy gadgets and the UI wasn't corpo slop with simplistic logos like it is now

>>212972486
why you on unc website? This website older than your granma, what drive you here?

>>212971621 (OP)
I always thought 2008, with the advent of the iPhone, but yeah seems about right.

Also 2015/2016 was another big one because there was the Syrian war, refugee crisis, the US election, brexit, etc.

Covid was the nail in the coffin

>>212971621 (OP)
All the prosperity and social order of the 2000's was predicated on the post World War growth and rapid early globalization that the entire western hemisphere (including Turkey) experienced. It was destined to fall apart eventually with or without the oncoming tech apocalypse. The comfy childhood that we all shared was an extreme outlier in human history and was never meant to be sustainable nor replicable.

>>212971621 (OP)

I feel a certain pride that neither I nor anyone in my immediate family (parents) has a facebook account.

Oh christ. Make it stop.

You seem to have a very detailed understanding of exactly why and how society has declined. How is it that you're so knowledgeable on this subject? Oh wait, never mind, I know.
