Where would you restart the calendar?
#6
RE: Where would you restart the calendar?
Lol, the logic, rational minded side of me wants to spoil the game and say, "why would we restart the calendar, it would only create confusion and would have no practical benefit." Tongue

But I'll play along. Big Grin

I think the most defining point in the Common Era that could be seen as a major transition would be the invention of the internet. There could be a whole other debate as to when that year is, but I would venture 1982, when TCP/IP was standardized and what we know as the internet started.

Now would 1982 be year 0? Or year 1?
I'll go with year 0. That would make it year 32 AG (Al Gore.) And everything before what was 1982 would be BAG (Before Al Gore.)
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
