You hit the big ones. I had forgotten the panic that ensued with Y2K. Yes, the war on terror will never end, I fear. I'm lost about Pluto. Are you talking about the planet? No mention of Covid19. That would scare the generations to come.

I was placing the speaker in 2008 and the election of the first African American POTUS and the years before. Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet or glorified ice ball within a year of the release of the iPhone in 2006.

Now, I remember about Pluto. Astrologically, people born under that sign look at life through rose colored glasses.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written story about the change of the millenium during the year two-thousand when we thought that the end of the world is upon us and twenty years later the human race are sill fighting about racism, and power.

Hello my friend
You did a great job with your entry for the Tale from the 3rd Millennium writing prompt contest. You used contemporary issues and kept it all very positive. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
Well, it sure looks like the world, especially America, has gone downhill in just twenty years. The new norm is not desirable, people don't seem happier.

Pat yourself on the back, is great to think that the country you life is the best, manipulation of masses shows us otherwise. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Comment from CHANYA MASHENGU
There is definitely something to look forward too.
The United States is the greatest country in the world.
Yes if we can preserve its once rich culture and honor to the creator (God).
Good luck

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
I certainly have to agree with you that the United States is the greatest county. In 2000, we did not know about the coronavirus. We have lots of scary things happen in 2020. Constant prayer and trying to end the pandemic is on our list. Wash those hands; use those masks.

I had a couple of questions about some of your ideas but I am pretty sure I did not understand because I am an old lady and don't know about all this techie stuff. You said a lot in the 150 words and I enjoyed reading it. This is well done.
