The Decade According to 9 Year Olds
Yahoo News blog put up a great video of the decade in review from 9 year old kids who have only experienced one decade.
Not only is it just a cute video with cute kid responses, but it also serves as another reminder to those who did not grow up with a computer since they were 2 years old about how integrated the digital medium is to these kids’ lives. It also was sobering reminder for myself about my own age as none of the kids could recognize Britney Spears’ first big hit “Hit Me Baby One More Time” (1999).
Enjoy the video, it’s very cute!

So much has defined this past decade, but imagine what it would be like if the past 9 years were the only years you had lived through. Yahoo! News editor Allison Louie-Garcia spoke to fourth graders in Orange County, Calif. to get some perspective on the ’00s from those who have only experienced it. From naming the biggest celebrities, to discussing computer habits, to explaining 9/11, these 9-year-olds’ answers–often funny, sometimes sobering, always candid–offered a clear snapshot of life in the 21st Century.
