As the new year and millennium begin, I couldn't help thinking how great things have become. Yes, the new millennium is only now beginning. All those celebrations a year ago bringing in the new millennium were for the ignorant masses that just could not wait another year for the real millennium. It was also to sell cruises, autos and any other item that could be sold in the name of the new millennium. There are a lot of great things that we too often take for granted.
Every millennium is like that.
I am sure the last time the millennium rolled over people took for granted the wheel. Today we take for granted electricity, television, autos, airplanes, refrigeration and many other common everyday items. I don't think I would have liked living a millennium ago. I have become accustomed to toothpaste and dental floss. They may have had dental floss back then, probably had to use a strand from a horse's tail.
