The 21st century is the century that began on 1 January 2001 and will last to 31 December 2100. Frequently common usage regards the 21st century as spanning 2000 to 2099, though this method of counting ignores the fact that there was no year 0. In 2000 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) implicitly backed the common usage by defining a calendar that places the origin of the counting in a year zero. 21st century - Overview.

The game is built based on a modified Unreal engine and Deus Ex is seen as combining a variety of gaming genres. The game featured environments often drawn from real locations, including a severely damaged Statue of Liberty, Hell's Kitchen in New York City, and the Wan Chai District in Hong Kong, among others. It was also notable for the complex tactical possibilities, where players could choose many different ways of achieving evolving goals, including stealth (akin to Thief), long-range sniping, all-out combat with various heavy weapons, character interaction, bypassing devices, computer hacking an ...

The 21st century has had an influence on culture since well before it began. Speculation about future, social, cultural, and technological trends frequently centered on the year 2000, starting with late-19th century essays and novels (often of a utopian nature) such as Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward, though Bellamy explicitly called the year 2000 "the Twentieth Century." It's been said that the event horizon of Western culture was steadily shrinking in this period, since as late as the 1990s people were still often focusing on the year ...

The first month of Bush's second term was mainly consumed with debate over one of his stated goals, partial privatization of Social Security. So far the plan calls to ...

In mid July, his and Vice President Richard Cheney's chief political advisors, Karl Rove and ...
