Encyclopedia: 21st century

For the video game, see Seven Samurai 20XX.

The 21st century is the present century of the Anno Domini (common) era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. It began on January 1, 2001 and will end December 31, 2100. A common misconception is that it started in 2000 and will end in 2099. Technologically, so far the major difference from the 20th century are the changes brought about by the digital revolution of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
