I wanted to find some data on how many “high school sweethearts” make it this long, but couldn’t really find anything that looked legit. So instead, a look back at how things have changed since 1999. It really wasn’t that long ago, was it?
| 1999 | 2010 |
|---|---|
| WA (425) | CA (925) |
| 1986 Toyota Celica | 2006 Ford Escape |
| Ricky Martin tops the charts with "Livin' la Vida Loca" | Ricky Martin comes out of the closet |
| Ken Griffey, Jr begins his last season with the Mariners. | Ken Griffey, Jr begins his last season with the Mariners. |
| Dow Jones: 10,900 | Dow Jones: 10,900 |
| World population tops 6 billion | Up to 6.8 billion |
| Gas costs $1.22 a gallon | Gas costs $3 a gallon |
| The best-selling cars are the Ford F-Series and the Honda Accord | The best-selling cars are the Ford F-Series and the Honda Accord |
| People read newspapers | Newspapers are going extinct |
| Waldo, overweight cat | Mochi, overweight dog |
| Ford buys Volvo | Ford sells Volvo |
| AOL, Yahoo, Lycos | Facebook, Google, YouTube |
| 26% of the US has a cell phone | 89% have cell phones |
The world is a different place, but it’s like they say: “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” It’s been fun.
