Email will probably be around for many decades to come. It’s hard to say what will happen 20 years from now, but email has been around for decades, and it will likely be around for decades more.
For most of human history, the main goal of states has been to conquer land and to achieve glory for their rulers, usually at others’ expense. Then in recent decades it was all about GDP. It’s only in very recent history that rulers have been willing to commit themselves to helping their citizens live happier lives.
Kim Il Sung prepared Kim Jong Il for decades to be his successor and made it very clear from the beginning, ‘This is my son and he’s going to lead the country’ and that took more than 10 years – almost 20 years.
The consequences of a lack of new knowledge is decades of stagnation: the next generation will be poorer than this one.
I look fine. I’ve had no surgery apart from an operation I had decades ago to remove the fat under my eyes. My mum looked 30 when she was 60, so I guess I owe it all to genes and hair dye.
Velano Vascular has developed a simple, game-changing innovation that will improve the way medicine has been practiced for decades.
Coming out of Juilliard, I honestly was expecting and willing to be breaking my neck, hustling, and being unemployed for a decade, two decades. I was gritting my teeth, but I was so down to do that.
People can be successful for a short period of time, but only a handful of people are successful for decades.
I can’t remember who said, ‘No film is completed, just abandoned,’ but I think most filmmakers will tell you that they could endlessly fiddle with their films for the next couple of decades, you know, changing things, altering things.
Surrounded by a sweltering state known for its staunch conservatism, Austin is an oasis. It’s home to the University of Texas, which continuously fosters a well-educated youth culture who have been funneling their collective creative energy into building a vibrant music, film, and technology scene for decades.
The regulations keep on coming. And we are trying to make decisions that we will be happy with for decades.
For people who grew up in the last four decades of the 20th century, it is hard to grasp the concept of negative interest rates. How is it even possible? If interest rates are the price of money, is the marketplace broadcasting that money is on sale? Are we just giving it away?
On Jan. 30, millions of Iraqis will cast ballots in the country’s first fair and free election in decades, marking continued progress in Iraq’s transition toward a country built on the pillars of democracy and freedom for all.
People are very appreciative, and I’m always thrilled at how long the ‘Morse’ films have lasted. They seem to have an afterlife that goes on and on for decades, which is touching.
If a severe pandemic materializes, all of society could pay a heavy price for decades of failing to create a rational system of health care that works for all of us.
We’ve seen more reform in the last year than we’ve seen in decades, and we haven’t spent a dime yet. It’s staggering how the Recovery Act is driving change.
No, I’ve always been impressed with the tremendous resilience of the American economy. I think over the years, over the decades, it’s demonstrated this tremendous ability to take severe body blows, if you will, and bounce back.
China frequently confounds stock market prognosticators because it has a penchant for straying markedly from other broad global indexes year-by-year over the decades – even from emerging markets. It’s hit or miss.
When policymakers, financiers and scientists describe the world decades from now, in the throes of climatic changes that we now only model, they emphasize what might be lost.
Certainly, living in the U.S., as I have for over two decades, you see how Asians are portrayed in the media… I didn’t see myself represented, you know, when I used to look at ads on TV.
Actually criminal sanctions that are given could be up to five years for violating the rules and regulations under the campaign finance reform. This is like the Alien and Sedition Act of years and years ago, decades ago.
After decades of studying the men and women that make the decision to open their own Great, Growing Company, I’d have to say it comes down to the Vision they have for that business – do they expect to build the company or just have some income for the short term?
Decades of scientific research has proven that carbon pollution is harmful to human health and causes global warming.
There are nineteen Harry Bosch books, and someone told me if you add up the descriptions of Harry from all of them, it would come to less than three pages. He’s very elliptically described over the two decades during which the novels occur. I did that by intention.
If Congress wanted to intervene with the Federal Reserve, well, we created the Federal Reserve. We could uncreate it. But would you want Congress regulating the money supply? We’d have drowned in inflation, or gone bankrupt, decades ago.
I’ve learned over decades of building that a deadline is a potent tool for problem-solving.
I have lived in the only decades I could have lived in, and hope to live through at least a few more.
Three decades ago, in a top story of the century, Americans placed six flags on the Moon. Today we no longer try for new and bold space achievements; instead, we celebrate the anniversaries of the past.
When we talk about infrastructure we’re also talking about jobs, but we’re also talking about addressing climate change. Our roads are in disrepair because of neglect over decades, but that disrepair is exacerbated by climate change, that’s taking a toll on our roads.
Modern medical advances have helped millions of people live longer, healthier lives. We owe these improvements to decades of investment in medical research.
For decades, the Arab states have seemed exceptions to the laws of politics and human nature. While liberty expanded in many parts of the globe, these nations were left behind, their ‘freedom deficit’ signaling the political underdevelopment that accompanied many other economic and social maladies.
I first started asking big questions when I was 12, and by big questions, I mean, ‘Why are we here? What is this business? We’re alive for a few short decades and then poof, we’re out of here.’
A company logo may be the last thing cost-conscious CEOs focus on when they’re looking to jump-start growth. Which is perhaps why it took more than two decades for White Mountain Footwear, a privately held shoe manufacturer based in Lisbon, N.H., to finally give its own emblem some serious thought.
The pro-life movement is and has been led by women for decades. The history of the movement shows this, despite the current narrative about men ‘controlling’ or making laws about women’s bodies.
We went a few decades without a good mullet on TV, so I’m happy to bring it back.
In the last two or three decades, there’s been a feminization of the man in popular media that I’ve never really understood.
‘Mudbound’ highlights the fact that we’re still battling a lot of the same issues as we were all of those decades ago.
Evangelicals have, for decades, believed that the country was more conservative than not, more Christian than not. The bipartisanship on religious liberty and the civic faith of the country was conducive to that. Now they’ve woken up to a reality in the Obama years that this was a polite fiction.
After many decades of Disney movies, we have been conditioned to expect princesses to fall in love quickly with their charming princes and ‘live happily ever after.’
For Americans living in places like Braddock, I believe the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is perhaps the last, best chance to help overcome the injustice and harm that the decades steeped in a laissez-faire orthodoxy have wrought.
Throughout my life, I have publicly and privately denounced military interventions in domestic politics. In fact, I have been advocating for democracy for decades.
Far too many government spending programs have gone years, even decades, without being reauthorized, leaving the American people less able to effectively review, rethink, and possibly eliminate government programs.
Mattel stepped up and changed the face of Barbie. Barbie looks a lot different than she did decades ago. Or even three weeks ago.
It’s been years, decades, since a president has lost a major trade initiative. That would be bad headlines.
Watching ‘Girls,’ it was really angering for me at first, because I really had spent decades hiding unlikable, unattractive Jewish girls in likable, attractive, non-Jewish actors and characters.
My style was established in the Forties and Fifties, then got dragged through the decades and picked up a couple more things on the way.
My team and I have discovered, over decades of study, that mushroom mycelium is a rich resource of new antimicrobial compounds, which work in concert, helping protecting the mushrooms – and us – from microbial pathogens.
The exact time of death, I think, is not something that matters so much at this moment for we will be reliving John Paul’s life for many days and weeks and even years and decades and centuries to come.
Fracking opens up vast tracts of the U.S. to exploitation by gas drillers. There’s enough energy under our feet to last us for decades, maybe centuries.
