Good-bye to the first decade of the millennial

There is much to be said about the beginning of the 21st century, but I must hurry up because I still have a bunch of tasks to complete before I can close off this decade correctly.

But here is an image that clearly summarizes the progress we made, the errors we made and the contradictions of the last 10 years:

Good luck.
