Millennium: 3rd millennium
Centuries: 20th century – 21st century – 22nd century
Decades: 1980s 1990s 2000s – 2010s – 2020s 2030s 2040s
Years: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019

The 2010s, pronounced "twenty-tens"[1] or "two thousand (and) tens",[2][3][4][5] is the current decade which began on January 1, 2010 and will end on December 31, 2019. The decade is also called the second decade of the 21st century and 3rd millennium.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]

The decade began amidst a global financial crisis that started in the late 2000s, after approximately three decades of prosperity, economic growth as well as income inequality, and increased globalization.[16] In particular, the ongoing Eurozone debt crisis, which stemmed from these economic problems, first became pronounced in May 2010 and continues to threaten the possibility of a global recovery. Other economic issues such as inflation, and an increase in commodity prices, sparked immense unrest in many lower-income countries. In some countries this unrest evolved into socio-economic crises which set off numerous revolutions, such as in Kyrgyzstan in 2010, and Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya in 2011. This trend continues at present, and is known as the Arab Spring. The revolutions of 2011 also include the Spanish "Indignants", inspired by the Arab Spring, and the Occupy movement protests in North America and Europe, influenced by both Spanish demonstrations and the Arab Spring.

[edit] Mixed pronunciation

Among experts and the general public, there is some disagreement as to how specific years of the 21st century should be pronounced in English.[17] While the years 2000 to 2009 are usually pronounced as "two thousand _", the pronunciation in the 2010s has been mixed. The year 2010, for example, was referred to by some as "twenty-ten" and by others as "two thousand (and) ten" and this mixed pronunciation continues as of 2012.[18]

2011 Libyan civil war: The Libyan flag is flown from a communications tower in Bayda, July 2011
  • Libyan civil war (15 February – 23 October 2011) – a series of demonstrations and riots held against Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule. The widespread demonstrations, which erupted in response to the high unemployment rate in Libya and the lack of development in the country, rapidly escalated into a civil war as Gaddafi used his military force against the Libyan rebels. As a result, fifty thousand Libyans have died.[23] The civil war came to an end when Gaddafi was killed during the liberation of Sirte on 20 October 2011.
  • Mexican Drug War (2006–present) – an armed conflict fought between rival drug cartels and government forces in Mexico. Although Mexican drug cartels, or drug trafficking organizations, have existed for quite some time, they have become more powerful since the demise of Colombia's Cali and Medellín cartels in the 1990s. Mexican drug cartels now dominate the wholesale illicit drug market in the United States.[24] Arrests of key cartel leaders, particularly in the Tijuana and Gulf cartels, have led to increasing drug violence as cartels fight for control of the trafficking routes into the United States.[25][26][27] Roughly more than 28,299 people in total were killed between December 2006 until November 2010.[28]
  • Civil war in Chad (2005–present) involved Chadian government forces and several Chadian rebel groups. The government of Chad estimated in January 2006 that 614 Chadian citizens had been killed in cross-border raids.[35] The fighting still continues despite several attempts to reach agreements.
  • Colombian Armed Conflict (1964–present) has changed substantially after the government of Alvaro Uribe. President Juan Manuel Santos took office in 2010 and seeks to continue Uribe's policy about terrorism. The FARC and ELN guerrillas are weaker than ever and divided, with the latter calling for peace talks with the government. Meanwhile, paramilitary forces have demobilized, but irregular drug-trafficking forces called "Bacrim" have gained control over much of the areas that the AUC paramilitaries previously held. The "Bacrim" gangs have allied with guerrillas in some regions of the country like Chocó and Antioquia.

[edit] Nuclear weapons controversies

  • Since 2005, Iran's nuclear program has become the subject of contention with the Western world due to suspicions that Iran could divert the civilian nuclear technology to a weapons program. This has led the UN Security Council to impose sanctions against Iran on select companies linked to this program, thus furthering its economic isolation on the international scene. The U.S. Director of National Intelligence said in February 2009 that Iran would not realistically be able to a get a nuclear weapon until 2013, if it chose to develop one.[36]
  • The United States and Russia sign a treaty to cut nuclear weapons in either nation in Prague in April 2010, a week later U.S. President Barack Obama hosts a Nuclear Security Summit where the attending nations decides to lock onto their nuclear arms, to make sure no terrorists get hands on these weapons of mass destruction, also South Korea was selected to hold the second Nuclear Security Summit in 2012.

[edit] Political events

The prominent political events of the decade so far include:

WikiLeaks

  • The international new-media non-profit organization WikiLeaks published three massive sets of documents pertaining to the Iraq War, the Afghanistan War, and US diplomacy, which, respectively, were released in April, July, and November 2010. Each of these releases was accompanied by heavy and extensive weeks-long coverage in news media all over the world, and had a strong impact on the global political landscape, with strong reactions from leaders within many major countries.

2011 Egyptian revolution: Demonstrators in Cairo's Tahrir Square on 8 February 2011
  • Between 9–15 January 2011 a referendum was held in Southern Sudan on whether the region should remain a part of Sudan or become independent. In the referendum a majority of 98.83% voted in favour of separation from Sudan and the creation of an independent state.
  • 14 January 2011 – Amidst anti-government demonstrations, Tunisia's President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali dissolves the government, declares a state of emergency, and resigns from office.
  • January–February 2011 – Inspired by the Tunisian demonstrators, thousands of protesters in Egypt call for a resignation or ousting of Hosni Mubarak, longtime president of the nation, who many feel has been in power far too long and has no interests of the public. Mubarak resigns on 11 February.
  • February–October: a popular revolt against Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule over Libya leads to thousands of deaths and UN sanctions against the nation's government following a brutal crackdown against protestors.[39]

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill as seen from space by NASA's Terra satellite on 24 May 2010
  • On 20 April 2010, an explosion on BP's Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig, operating in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana, left eleven crewmen dead and resulted in a fire that sank the rig and caused a massive-scale oil spill[44] that became the worst environmental disaster in United States history.[45] On 18 June 2010, oceanographer John Kessler said that the crude gushing from the well contains 40 percent methane, compared to about 5 percent found in typical oil deposits. Methane is a natural gas that could potentially suffocate marine life and create "dead zones" where oxygen is so depleted that nothing lives. "This is the most vigorous methane eruption in modern human history," Kessler said.[46] On 20 June an internal BP document was released by Congress revealing that BP estimated the flow could be as much as 100,000 barrels (4,200,000 US gallons; 16,000 cubic metres) per day under the circumstances that existed since the 20 April blowout.[47][48] On 15 July 2010, The BP Oil Spill was stopped for the first time, 86 days after oil started leaking into the Gulf of Mexico.

[edit] Economics

The Great Recession, which began in the year 2007, officially ended in mid-2009, though unemployment has failed to recover. In the United States, a Gallup poll found that more than half of Americans believe the country is still in a recession.[64] Some economists believe that the 'recession' has not only not ended, but is actually a mild economic depression much like the one in the 1930s.[65] There is an energy crisis in the world, partially due to the protests and riots in the Middle East and North Africa, though prices had been rising beforehand.[66] Production of conventional crude oil peaked in 2004 at 74 million barrels per day, and greater records reached since then represent only small increases that are failing to keep pace with demand from growing countries, such as China and India.[67] This is evident because of the relatively small output that was shut off during the Libya civil war, as well as the failure of releases from strategic reserves to stem high prices.[68][69] The International Energy Agency has found that global crude oil production reached its apex in 2006, meaning production from currently producing oil fields is forecast to drop and future oil supply projections are uncertain.[70][71][72] Another school of opinion attributes the high energy prices in the western world to government regulation.[73]

A sovereign debt crisis in Europe began in early 2010, and the Greek government admitted that it was having difficulties servicing its large sovereign debt. Speculation abounded that it would be unable to make required bond payments due in 2010. causing the Euro to drop in value versus the US dollar and pushing the Greek/German yield spread to almost 4%. In May 2010, Eurozone leaders agreed to a £110 billion euro three year rescue package.[74] However, by the following year, the country's fiscal condition had not improved.[75] In the summer and fall of 2011 bond yields for Italy and Spain spike above 6 percent.[76] China becomes the second largest global economy, surpassing Japan.[77] China currently faces out-of-control inflation, a real estate bubble, and troubling demographics that will lead to a shrinking labor force, all of which could lead to a collapse of the Chinese economy.[78][79][80]

Debt struggles plague advanced countries. The crisis in Greece fuels growing fears of contagion.[81] Beyond Greece, European countries such as Ireland, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Austria, Slovakia and Slovenia see their credit rating downgraded.[82][83][84][85][86] In August 2011, the S&P downgrades the United States' credit rating from triple AAA to AA-plus.[87] In September 2011 Italy is downgraded by S&P from A+.[88] Japan also sees a rating downgrade due to debt burden.[89] In October 2011 European leaders devised another Greek debt agreement in which private banks that loaned Greece money agreed to voluntarily write down or revalue Greek debt by 50%. Sources close to the protracted Athens talks said as of January 2012 the two sides were converging on an agreement that would see private creditors accepting a real loss of 65 to 70 percent and new bonds with 30-year maturity.[90] The size of the EFSF was increased from €440 billion to €1 trillion.[91] From 2010 to 2011 gold prices rise from $1121.50 an ounce to $1,917.90.[92][93]

[edit] Society and Trends

The 2010s are notable for being the first decade in which the population of Earth has been more urban than rural; back in 2007, the portion of the human population living in cities and urban areas reached the 50% mark.[94]

The world population is projected to peak at 9 billion by 2050, and many countries reported declining fertility rates in the 2010 census.[95] Society by the 2010s is still being accustomed to the huge changes the Internet, globalization and digital technology make in everyday life, with many young people growing up spending their entire lives exposed to microchip technology.[96] At the same time, the world is grappling with the Great Recession that began in 2007 and continues into the '10s.

The United States is moving away from its trend of suburbanization that defined development during the first 60–65 years after World War 2 and new urbanism and urban revival is taking place as people begin to move back to the cities.[97]

Environmentalism continues to become mainstream, and with the economic crisis of the late '00s to present, increasingly profitable as well.[98]

In the United States and Islamic world and to a lesser degree elsewhere, political polarization continues and/or increases as traditionalists and progressives clash over the role of government, human rights issues, and other social, economic, and environmental issues. Polls in the US continue to show a divided electorate regarding job creation, debt reduction, and taxation.[99][100][101][102][103][104]

Acceptance of LGBT people slowly increases across the world, with significantly higher levels of support among younger generations than among older generations, though a growth in all age groups. On 20 September 2011, gay and lesbian citizens were allowed to serve in the United States military. For the first time, on 17 June 2011, the United Nations passed a motion in support of LGBT rights across the world, 21 years after the World Health Organization removed homosexuality from its list of diseases in 1990.

Currently the average age of a human being on Earth is about 28–29 years old (28.4 in 2011); hence the average birth date is around the year 1983.[105] This ranges locally from as low as the teenage years in the developing world to as high as the mid-40s in several countries including Japan. In 1950 the average global age was only about 24 years.[105] The aging of populations in the developed countries, most prominently Europe and Japan, continues as the Baby boomers generation reaches the age of retirement. This has caused a large debate over the Medicare and Social Security programs in the United States. Many popular opinions among Americans are that either the retirement age should be raised,[106][107][108][109] the Social Security and Medicare programs be replaced with another type of pension,[110][111][112] or that the Medicare and Social Security should be abolished in its entirety.[113][114][115]

The world's major civilizations are now interacting more than ever in history, creating tensions but also bringing new ideas to cultures that previously did not have them. This occurs more often not only physically but in cyberspace. This is radically changing the economic and social fabric in virtually every part of the world. China, considered an emerging power in the 1990s and 2000s, has increasingly been called a superpower in the early 2010s, such as at the 2011 meeting between Hu Jintao and Barack Obama.[116]

Individuality and uniqueness continues to be increasingly valued as opposed to conformism. A well noted example of this are baby names, which have become far more individualized since the 1960s, but especially since the 1990s and the introduction of the Internet.[117]

Long distance relocation declines in the United States, reaching their lowest levels since information began being kept in 1948.[118]

Youth culture such as skateboarding continues to spread to countries such as Afghanistan.[119]

AIDS, a pandemic responsible for killing over 30 million people since its discovery in the early 1980s, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, becomes a treatable condition; though only one case has been cured,[120] the disease is no longer a death sentence and with good treatment victims can generally expect to live normal lives and lifespans. However, as of 2011 only a bit more than 5 million of the 12 million people who need drugs for AIDS get them and hence many people still die from the disease.[120]

In America, migration to the Sun Belt, large during the last decades of the 20th century and the 2000s decade, declines; migration in general around the US has been in decline since the beginning of the 1980s.[121]

  • By February 2011, the IPv4 internet addresses officially run out. An early period of transition to IPv6 continues during 2011.[126]
  • Supercomputers are projected to reach exaflop scale in 2019.[127]
  • By March 2011, more than 2 billion people used the Internet.[128]
  • One billion mobile broadband users predicted by sometime in 2011, and 4.6 billion people worldwide were subscribed to mobile phones.[129]
  • On 27 January 2010, Apple Inc. launches its first tablet computer called the iPad which offers multi-touch interaction with multimedia formats including newspapers, magazines, ebooks, textbooks, photos, movies, TV shows videos, music, word processing documents, spreadsheets, video games. The iPad soon became an immediate bestseller and only months after its release became the best selling tech gadget in history.[130] Multiple competing tablet computers are now on the market.
  • Mobile phone apps, introduced in the later 2000s, explode in popularity; In June 2011, Americans spent more time using apps than using the World Wide Web.[131]

Main article: 2010s in film

On 31 January 2010, Avatar became the first film to cross the $2 billion mark in the worldwide box office.[136] It is also one of the first in a trend towards high quality 3D movies.

In 2010, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to receive the Academy Award for Best Director for the 2009 movie The Hurt Locker.[137]

In 2010, Toy Story 3 became the first animated film to gross more than $1 billion worldwide.[138]

Though it is still early in the decade, the trends of the 2000s in television programming continue. Reality television continues to be popular and successful, despite a backlash among certain people, and the 4 most popular TV shows in terms of likes on Facebook, are in order from #1 downwards (as of January 2012), Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park, and Spongebob Squarepants, all long-running animated sitcoms that began prior to the year 2000.[139]

[edit] Cuisine

Breakfast habits change: among Americans, cereal, a profitable breakfast food throughout the 20th century, declines by the early 1990s and is not nearly as popular by the 2010s.[140] Fast casual restaurants such as Five Guys and Chipotle also see an uptick in popularity.[141]

[edit] Music

Main article: 2010s in music

As a decade, the 2010s continue an ongoing trend of atemporality in pop music. Whilst music in previous decades had a defined sound, the 2000s produced no epoch defining genres, and genres remain little changed from where they were in the '90s.[142] Musical paradigm shifts in the previous decade regarding how people obtain and listen to music including the rise of the MP3 format,[143][144] televised national musical contests,[145] and the declining influence of the recording industry have had major effects on the state of music globally in a relatively short time.[146] According to Nielson Soundscan, by 2009 CDs accounted for 79 percent of album sales, with 20 percent coming from digital, representing both a 10 percent drop and gain for both formats in 2 years.[147]

In terms of popular music, the heavy use of Auto-Tune has dramatically changed the landscape of the Top-40 charts. At the same time, electronic dance music and electropop have gained significant popularity; electronic in general became widespread in the early-2010s mixing elements of Chiptune, Second Wave synthpop mixed with rap and other various electronic music, into a sound that differentiates 2010s music from the popular music styles of the early 2000s.[148][149] Another noticeable trend that began late in the 2000s and is continuing into this decade is the gradual decline in mainstream popularity of rock, rap and hip hop as they are being displaced by more dance and pop music.[150][151][152] In the United Kingdom, Dubstep is rising in popularity,[153] which is a style that mirrors the electronic-leaning musical trends elsewhere.

[edit] Fashion

Main article: 2010s in fashion

The early 2010s, so far, have seen many recycled fashions from the 1940s, 1950s and 1980s and 1990s such as skinny jeans, leggings, leg warmers, aviator sunglasses, western shirts, baseball jackets, nerd glasses, and high top sneakers.[159] It is also very popular to wear neon colors such as neon pink, green, teal, black, purple, and yellow, and Military Shirts. At the same time new fashions such as color burn shirts and "boot sandal hybrids" emerged in Europe and the USA. Plaid and argyle shirts are also popular, especially in vivid colors.

In Britain there has been a resurgence of Edwardian fashions among indie kids, sloane rangers, and college students, including suits with contrasting piping, boots based on US Civil War era Jeff Davis boots, Barbour jackets,[160] bowler hats, tweed jackets, waistcoats, thin ties, Ascots, cricket-style sweaters and striped boating blazers, albeit in less loud colors than the type worn by the mod subculture in the 1960s.[161][162][163]
