There was something about the 2000s. I cannot quite name it - but you knew it when you were in it. A shared language. A clear image of what it meant to be young. A world that felt like it was going in one direction.
And then, slowly and surely, it was gone.
In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, I am thinking about that world - about what was there, about what went with it. And about the strange feeling that comes when the algorithm returns something to you that you were not looking for.

Bhí rud éigin ann sna 2000í. Ní féidir liom ainm cruinn a chur air — ach bhí a fhios agat nuair a bhí tú ann. Teanga chomhroinnte. Íomhá shoiléir de cad a bhí i gceist le bheith óg. Domhan a bhí ag dul i dtreo amháin.
Agus ansin, go mall agus go cinnte, d'imigh sé.
San eagrán seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, táim ag smaoineamh ar an domhan sin — ar cad a bhí ann, ar cad a d'imigh leis. Agus ar an mothúchán aisteach a thagann nuair a chuireann an algorithm rud ar ais os do chomhair nach raibh tú ag lorg.
