I'm not quite back in the 21st century

Good Morning! I was lying in bed last evening and watching videos on youtube when I began to wonder if there was a word for what I was feeling. I am sure that there was, and I am even more sure that I've come across said word before. I just don't remember what it is. What was I feeling? Well, I felt like I wasn't quite in the 21st century. I had spent a majority of the day either writing about, or researching about the 18th century. Most of that was to do with my ancestors, but some of it was just general information about the Revolutionary War. I always feel so much closer to my ancestors when I find documents that had something to do with them, even if their penmanship isn't present on said documents. Anyway, I'm back in the 21st century today, at least for the time being. Saturday Plans Researching Writing Mylotting Reading Crocheting (possibly???) Youtube and dreaded, but necessary cleaning in between. How's your Saturday?

I think that the Revolutionary War started in 1775, so it was not 17th century, but 18th century... we are in year 2000 and this is 21st century and NOT 20th.

Thank you, you are right. I get to saying 1700's and then get it mixed up when referring to the century.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It helps me to remember that "The 20th Century Fox" was during 1900 century.

It's really cool to find out what your ancestors did, and see things that make it more real to us.

It really, really is. There's a place in the Great Smoky Mountains that, to this day, is still named after one of my ancestors. He owned so much land in what is now the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. One day I'd like to go see that area for myself. I don't know if there is any kind of marker there though.

Quite hectic for a Saturday. But I've made some sales from my online businees so I'm happy.

Well that's good. Though, possibly a bit boring (atleast in my own opinion)

I feel like I'm still in the 20th centurry -- I wish I were in the 20th century! Around the 60s or 70s would do me just fine!

Yeah, I'm not so sure about this year myself. If I could pick a year.. Hmm.. Well I think I'd rather own a time machine to be honest. Then I could visit whatever year I wanted.

don't think too much after watching a video. Tomorrow is Monday, so many darn things to do at work. I hate Monday blue. SO saturday and Sunday are the only days where I have time to interact online at all platforms that I had accounts. On weekdays, you do not see me at all.

I used to be that way as well, though my days off were not always the weekends. Now that I work from home, I am here more.

I don't think we will ever fully understand the technology because it is ever changing.
