Feeling old yet? 😅
That’s the exact same gap as between 1990 and 1954. So 1990 is now as far away from us as 1954 was to someone living in 1990. And 1954 feels like proper history.
Since 1990, we’ve seen the launch of the World Wide Web, the fall of Blockbuster, the rise of social media, smartphones becoming part of daily life, and streaming replacing DVDs. The Premier League was founded, the first Harry Potter book was published, and reality TV completely took over our screens.
Go back 36 years from 1990 to 1954 and you’re in a world before colour TV was common in UK homes, before man had walked on the Moon, and just a year after the Queen’s coronation.
And now 1990 sits exactly the same distance away from us.
We’re not sure how to feel about that one.
