“Tell them what they missed” – The world outside the US?

Welcome, Uwe!
Exactly, it’s the world according to Newsweek.
But it’s really quite hard to collect impressions of the social, political, economical, cultural highlights and low points on a global scale. Here are a few more I’d add, looking at the whole world, but from my perch here in Munich:
5. 2002: The Euro is introduced
6.2003: Johnny Depp creates the role of a lifetime in Jack Sparrow
7. 2006: Germany hosts the World Cup, introduces the practice of “public viewing” to the world and gains a positive self-image
8. 2006: The TED Talks go online at http://www.TED.com and boost the quality of the Internet overnight
