2000s Internet 

The state of the internet during the 2000s as well as the rise of social media. This was during a much simpler time where the internet wasn't as prominent as it was in the 2010s and people were actually outside and not glued to their phones or laptops so much.

There was also the birth of many famous websites such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Wikipedia, etc.
The 2000s were honestly the best decade for the internet because not only did we get so many iconic sites, but people weren't too obsessed with being online all the time. That's what makes 2000s internet much better than toxic 2010s internet

2010s Internet 

The state of the internet during the 2010s decade. This was during a time where the internet was starting to get more prominent and advanced (even more so than in the 1990s or 2000s). This was also during a time where memes started getting more mainstream, online gaming was getting more popular and more people started using more technologically advanced devices like the iPhone, Android, etc. (no one could shoot a video on their own phones back in 2004. But thanks to modern internet and technology that's possible now).

But it's also known for being a time where people got too obsessed with the internet and technology, where they would always stay glued to their phones and not take a break from being online too much. That's not good because the more you surf the web, the more sick stuff you'll eventually run into.

The most notable websites of the 2010s include Instagram, Musical.ly, and Snapchat.
Originally the web back then was used as an escape from the real world. But now thanks to 2010s internet, the real world is an escape from the web.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
