As a 2010's kid, I can say that my decade is much better than the 2000s. We have the newest iPhones, newer Playstations, super fast computers, the internet of things, and a lot more technology. We also have better medical care, scientific advancements and a lot of activities to do if we are bored. But this is my perspective. If an adult is asked, he will surely say that the 2000s were better. So let us compare a few offbeat points to show the real winner-
Socialising:
In the 2000s, there was not really a whole bunch of ways to socialise or go out with friends and family. There was no Snapchat or Instagram to get by. People would normally have to call others and remembering their numbers was a pain. Facebook was not so much a big thing back then as a it is today (even though it is slowly dying out) and transportation was not as advanced as today. There were fewer restaurants, clubs and social gatherings. Shopping centres were less in comparison to today.
Fitness:
Today there is a serious lack in fitness as compared to a decade ago. At least among teens. Mobile phones have ruined teenagers' postures and nobody goes to out to meet friends. A decade ago, instead of messaging friends, people would actually go out and meet them. Nowadays, you can do it at home via Skype, WhatsApp and other social media sites. This causes lethargy and a lot of children and teenagers are getting fatter.
Food;
We can all say that today's food is much better than the food a decade ago. However, there is a lot of junk food in markets causing various horrible ailments such as diabetes, obesity, heart failure, etc. A decade ago, Lays, Doritos, Gatorade, Maggi, cup noodles, and packet fried foods were barely, if not present at all. Today, every store has a stock of such foods and they cause the maximum of child problems.
Technology:
Hands down today's technology is better than a decade ago. Come on, the best game of the 2000s was Mario and today you have Overwatch, the Witcher 3, Dark Souls and The Last of Us. the best phone of 2000s was arguably early model of the iPhone. Today you have phones with 24 megapixels back cameras and phones which tell you the price and kind of shoes just by pointing a camera at it.
Television:
In the 2000s, we had memorable shows like Friends, Two and a Half Men and a few more but in the 2010s, there are shows like Game of Thrones, the Big Bang Theory, Suits, etc (although some started in the late 2000s, they became really famous in the 2010s). You also have curved OLED and UHD television today compared to those boxes in the 2000s.
Fashion:
Needless to say, 2000s fashion was better. Today you have celebrities wearing clothes made of beef and steak. You have lady gaga wearing God knows what on every single occasion and 21 Pilots accepting a Grammy in underpants.
There are a lot more points which can be discussed but these are the most standing out points which are not too deep unlike finance, population and poverty which normally would swoosh past one's head. You cannot go back in time so you might as well enjoy today and hope your tomorrow has a real overboard unlike today's crap.
