- Jimmy played video games, just as though kids now and kids during that decade did as well
-  technological means of communication have not yet been discussed, so therefore it may not have been invented or advanced yet. Just as in the 1990's they were just beginning to advance means of the telephone, email etc.

FUTURE:
- Fast food chains are non-existent (Refer to pg. 75) 
- "New New York" 
- "Everglades burn for three weeks straight" --> hasn't happened yet
------- We believe that the book is most likely set in the future, about 10-20 years from now]]> 2017-09-14 15:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lhope3/793tbpb70ros/wish/187611253 https://padlet.com/lhope3/793tbpb70ros/wish/187611527 Future Evidence:
 -Technologies --> pigoons, rakunks, bullet trains, the internet, video games, computers
- The division between the compound and city --> new New York
- Jimmy's mom includes historic events that have not happened yet   
      -tidal wave from islands
     - Everglades drying up

1990s Evidence:
- refers to CD ROMs 
- lists atrocities - but stops at Sadam Hussien ]]> 2017-09-14 15:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lhope3/793tbpb70ros/wish/187611527 https://padlet.com/lhope3/793tbpb70ros/wish/187612346 "The next day his father took him to a haircut place where there was a picture of a pretty girl in the widow with pouty lips and a black T-shirt pulled down off one shoulder, glaring out through smudgy charcoal eyes with a mean stare and her hair standing up stiff like quills" 

- This type of more modern and "naughty" style of woman such as the hair style, the clothing, cosmetics (make-up), and the nature of poses (pouty) suggest a time period of around the year 2000. 
- INFERENCE: When Jimmy was around 5 or six it was around the year 2000
- Dishwasher exists as a rather modern technology
- "'Guys who repair things. Delivery vans.'"
- INFERENCE: vehicle and some form of technology exists

- Divide between the Pleebands and the Compounds is similar to more modern examples of separations of groups (i.e. Berlin Wall, upscale vs. city slums) --> is not so futuristic after all
- Jimmy's Life Skills teacher quotes "On the Waterfront", (1954) --> "I coulda been a contender." (49) and exemplifies hippy culture ]]> 2017-09-14 15:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lhope3/793tbpb70ros/wish/187612481 https://padlet.com/lhope3/793tbpb70ros/wish/187613607 1990's
-Some of the games Jimmy mentions playing with Crake reference events of the 1990's. 
-The Waco Siege took place in 1993, when a cult group in Texas  was sieged by the United States government (Three-Dimensional Waco)
-Osama bin Laden was a leader of the terrorist group al-Qaeda during the 1990's, and was a famous figure in the world even before the 9/11 attacks (Kwiktime Osama)
