Zeitgeist 2011: Year In Review

noreply@blogger.com (ANMI) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:49:43 PST

Google has created a nice compilation of major events that shaped our world this year. Was surprised how many of the events that I had already forgotten or had thought that they were from 2010. So many of the events seemed to have occurred longer than a year ago. Hard to believe all that the world has dealt with this tumultuous year!
