    I was a very young adult, and it was an amazing evening. I only remember parts of it, but I have a specific memory of being in a packed house party, and dancing to Prince’s 1999 at 5 to midnight. I remember feeling like we were entering the future and that it was a future full of possibilities and fun. Then things just kept getting better for almost a decade, despite there being occasional hard times. I was able to experience the birth of the world wide web, the proliferation of cell phones, the creation of smart phones, and many other technological advances. I have also been there for noticeable improvements in civil rights. I can’t say it’s all good, especially the tone of the last several years, but the future is pretty rad.
