'02 & '03 ...
What matters to you and me?
2002 - a year which started with an Olympic skating
scandal and a new currency for most Europeans, and which ends with
weapons inspections in Iraq and North Korea upset over James Bond
screwing in a Buddhist temple.
But what did it mean to you? 2003 - will it be
a year of face transplants and cloned babies as some scientists
have been claiming? Do you care? Scene magazines took to the streets
to find out.
Questions:
1. Age?
2. What single thing or event will you most remember
about 2002?
3. How do you expect our lives to change in 2003?
4. What thing or trend would you most like to
see becoming big in 2003?
5. How will you celebrate the New Year?
6. What is your New Year's resolution?
