20002006

20002006 is a concatenated representation of the years 2000 through 2006. In written form it is used as a shorthand for a multi-year interval in data sets, historical overviews, and narrative summaries. The unspaced form is informal; formal usage typically uses 2000–2006 or 2000 to 2006.

The period encompasses a range of major global events and trends at the turn of the century. It includes the aftermath of the dot-com bubble, the September 11, 2001 attacks, and the ensuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It also spans years of economic growth and increasing globalization, with notable developments in technology, media, and international politics that shaped the mid-2000s.

Technological and cultural changes during 2000 to 2006 included rapid growth of the internet and online services, the rise of search engines, increasing digital media distribution, and the emergence of social networks in the mid-2000s. Consumer electronics and software platforms began to influence daily life more broadly, while media industries adapted to new digital distribution models.

In research and reporting, the 2000–2006 window is used to analyze early- to mid-2000s patterns in economics, technology adoption, and geopolitical developments within that span. When a source uses this period, readers should check the exact dates defining the interval, as inclusivity can vary by context.
