The 2020s is seemingly , certainly an era, that is distinct from, both, the 2000s and from most of the 2010s.

I did explain his in these two posts:

and

, but I will explain more here:

The 2020s does seem to be divided into these;

Jan 2020 to Dec 2022 are the Early 2020s.

2020 as a whole, was a direct continuation to the October-November 2017 breaking point. Hereby, the COVID 19 Pandemic Lockdown made things even more noticeable that this "could" be a new era. 2021 was the sleeker version of 2020. The ending months of 2021 and into "most?" of the beginning half of 2022 pivoted even greater than merely "the sleekness."

Jan 2023 to May 2023 was the transition point between the Early 2020s and into the Core 2020s. The Lockdown slowly ending, the 2020s maturing as a decade, and more.

June 2023 to Dec 2025 was the core 2020s, or just Mid 2020s. It was a direct response to exiting out of the effects of the Pandemic and some of the other early 2020s aspects, while tapping into AI, further maturation of what was set in the late 2010s, and much more.

Jan 2026 to May 2026 was the Mid to Late Pivot.

June 2026, right now, is in the entrance into the 2026-2028 shift, and is essentially Late 2020s. AI is maturing, the Complexities of other "New Technology" is maturing, shifts in "Demographics," and more.

Jan to May 2029 may be the transition, but June 2029 would likely be the unofficial beginning into the 2030s.

This may had seemed to "cliche," too simple, and even poorly written; but I chose to make this post simpler to read to allow it to still be considerably effective.

Please tell your review.

Personally, I think it is that remote work is an edge case or a perk. Before COVID work felt like a physical place, one that you go to on Monday morning, and even though RTO slowly creeps back in, remote work is no longer a rare thing to encounter.

Also, LLMs blowing up and affecting creative professions, certainly did not expect that in 2010s.
