the developed world used the internet, according to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). In 2012 that number is now more than 74 users per 100 inhabitants. Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter did not exist. A tweet was a high-pitched, chirping sound made by a young or small bird. iPods were not around and phones were not smart. A Blackberry was still just a fruit. The Y2K bug was a global concern. It turned out to be nothing. And everyone was talking about the millennium, even though nobody could spell it.
