which was the most distinctive decade?

Star Bingo

reelin in the years style. you can tell when something is from the 50's. the 60's. the 70s, the 80s. from the 90's, though it may have been been close to the final step of evolution as not much from the noughties or the onesies thus far distinctly represents that era, seems stuck in the 90s. it seems we have arrived at our final destination where everythings now catered for. but nothing's really original; i cannot include the noughties. through no fault of its own has brought nothing new to the table designs for life have already been forged - which era do you think?

It may seem we've reached the pinnacle, but we really haven't. People in the early '80s thought "How can computing get any better than my Commodore 64?" (probably).

Anyway, I'd say the '60s. Pretty innovative and distinctive decade.

fashion, media. arts transport etc - when you can see footage, hear something n easily associate it with a decade. like reelin in the years only without 'puters

i say '70s, though i favour '80s

Don't be so quick to disregard the last decade. The naughties started with people copping onto this new email / internet craze and ended with iphones and facebook.

I'm thinking the 90s, in this country at least. Start of the culture of mobile phones and the internet etc Huge changes in family structure and dynamics, decline of religious influence, significant changes in the economy and education.

Worldwide the 70's
Locally the 90's

I'd say its either the 70's and or 80's as the most distinctive changes occurred during those decades along with a couple of revolutions and activists going on around then. Many technological, scientific and medical advancesments happened and many governmental, human rights and employment and educational changes occurred.

Worldwide been the 70's anywhere else been the 80's but here been the 90's.

For Ireland it was defintely the 90's. We removed the shackles of the church and made massive progress as a country. So much so, that we went from being one of the poorest Western nations, with high emigration, to one where employers were crying out for immigrant labour.

Yes, things are borked at the moment, but it will get better. Maybe a bit worse before then, but we're not going to be in this hole forever.

For the rest of the Western world, probably the 60's.

The Muslim world still seems to be stuck in what was the dark ages for Christian countries.

To be honest, the only people who can really comment on this is somebody who has lived through each decade. The rest of us are speculating based on what the media has fed us about those decades. So I guess I'll comment on the three decades I've lived through. I'll go with the 90's.
