Now that we’re approaching the end of the “noughties”....

whats are you talking about?
end of the noughties was dec 31st 2009, not dec 31st 2010

this year was first year of new decade, which has it's tenth year ending dec 31st 2019
so we're a year in, and what a crap year its been imo

Ok, so my naming skills aren't perfect - but we've still come a long way technologically regardless!

I'd like to name this coming decade 'the numpties'.

Bound to be full of them!

Thanks Edwin, makes me proud that in 2002 I had a 1.8ghz processor, a dvd re-writer and tft screen, it was the dogs bollocks back then ! actually better than what I have now

I think dvds should stop being produced now and just let everyone download onto hard drives although porn will always live on in the form of dvds, how do you hide your collection from the missus on a hard drive ?

I am looking forward to wireless tvs becoming all the range as I recently had DM catch wirelesstvs on .co.uk for me, could be worth a bit in 2 years time ?

DVDs will be around for some time, just not in the format we are used to at present. The 500GB dvd is just around the corner.

Cool 8) who needs hard drives with discs like that, I wonder how much they will cost each ?

depends how much solid-state drives change in price vs storage to keep up.

Number of uk domains have tripled too, from about 3 million in 2000 to 9 million in 2010. No doubt in large part thanks to AcornDomains members!

I just bought a TV with a wireless internet option. I can watch YouTube, DailyMotion etc. on 40 inches in HD with no PC attached, just the TV remote
