If you were born in 2005, by 2023, you will be 18 years old. From August 15th, 2005, until June 4th, 2023, there were 6,502 days from August 15th, 2005, until June 4th 2023, with 4,645 weekdays and 1,858 weekend days.

The year 2005
2005 was an important year for the United States, as it saw significant policy initiatives begin, including the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the first-ever ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by any nation. 2005 also witnessed John McCain’s nomination as Republican presidential candidate.
The class of 2022 was predominantly born between 2004 and 2005, as per the September 1st enrollment date cutoff date; therefore, most kids in this year group were born either fall 2004 or earlier.
Bill Gates, SoFaygo, Andile Ncube, and Khanyi Mbau were born in October 2005. November 2005 had 31 days; below are the ages of people held during November 2005 today. If you were born during this year and would like to know your age now, enter your birthday below to use our age calculator, which also gives a more precise calculation if applicable (you can also select the day/month of your birth for additional precision).
Year 2023
2023 is the 23rd year in the Gregorian Calendar and 3rd in the 2020s decade, also known as Common Era or Anno Domini (AD) designation, and 23 years after Jesus Christ was born.
As 2019 has unfolded, global affairs have experienced unprecedented challenges. Longstanding wars continued their bloody grind while new ones broke out; geopolitical competition intensified; with discussions among rival heads of state making headlines yet failing to bring any tangible progress forward.
Economically speaking, major bank failures in the US sent shockwaves through financial markets and resulted in losses for many investors, as well as several extensive bank closures. A wave of mergers and acquisitions ensued, including ExxonMobil purchasing Hess and Tapestry holding company (Coach New York and Kate Spade) being acquired by Capri Holding (Michael Kors and Versace).
At first, 2018 offered hope of reduced tensions between the United States and China. Joe Biden met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at G-20 summit discussions, while Secretary of State Antony Blinken planned to visit Beijing to discuss “guardrails” to keep their growing tense relationship from spiraling out of control. All that changed when an F-22 Raptor from the U.S. Air Force shot down a Chinese surveillance balloon off the South Carolina coast.
As 2023 was also known as the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese Zodiac, people born during this year are often said to possess characteristics associated with being gentle, compassionate individuals with creative tendencies and intuitive nature. Additionally, those born during this year are said to be adept at managing finances as well as projects efficiently; notable Rabbit-born individuals include Johnny Depp and DJ Khaled; this has left many curiously wondering how old they are when born in 2023; it may come as a shock that their birth occurred only 23 years ago, but this may only mark beginnings of what looks to be a challenging decade for global economies worldwide!
Year 2040
By 2040, our culture, technology, science, and business sectors will have undergone many significant transformations that we cannot foresee now. Quantum-run Foresight provides predictive analytics services designed to provide strategic foresight and innovation consulting services; its predictions show how drastically our world may change from the way it currently appears.
Australian filmmaker Damon Gameau attempts to inject optimism into environmental advocacy with his daring film 2040. In it, he imagines a future for Velvet (his four-year-old daughter), in which global warming does not destroy everything on our planet – this feat he achieves by investigating numerous solutions available today or with potential to mitigate climate change within five years or sooner significantly. Rather than adopting the typical negative tone associated with environmental conversations, Gameau narrows his focus only on available or potential solutions that have real likely mitigation potential within five years or earlier than current thinking – rather than adopting negative perspectives such as those prevalent today or within just five years from now if these solutions had already been implemented thoroughly or quickly enough.
The result of their efforts is an engaging documentary that is both accessible and hopeful. The pace is quick, visual aids easy to interpret, and vocals relaxed enough that no one feels they are being talked down to by Gameau, keeping audiences engaged even when covering complex subjects such as mining for precious metals or how the future of self-driving cars could lead to total surveillance and social credit scoring for every citizen.
2040 has the aesthetics and emotional heft of a documentary with its interviews and archive footage, but it also has dramaturgical qualities that resonate. Gameau’s strong desire to secure his daughter’s future makes the film all the more moving; this speaks to his talent as a director, and so much has been achieved here.
Though June 4, 2023, may still seem far away, this milestone deserves our celebration. To mark this important event, let’s reflect upon all that has transpired over six decades and how this progress can shape a better world in future years. Here are a few notable accomplishments of these past six decades that can inspire our vision of what lies ahead.
The year 2050
As the global population hits 9.2 billion by 2050, an increasing share will reside in cities, increasing energy, water, and food demands and risking climate change as a result of increased urbanization. Furthermore, an ever-increasing population will put immense strain on natural resources like oil and minerals, leading to an expected global temperature increase of 3 degrees by the end of the century.
Between now and 2050, the global population is projected to increase by about 2.7 billion people – most of it launched in Africa, Asia (excluding Japan, Australia, New Zealand), and Latin America – where birth rates tend to be lower. China and India will experience a slower demographic transition than other regions within this grouping of South countries.
Furthermore, over one-quarter of the developed world population is already aged 65 or above, and this proportion will only continue to increase as people get older. Emerging economies will likely follow suit. By 2050, over 33% of people will reside in cities, putting increased strain on infrastructure and services and driving up living costs significantly.
An unprecedented percentage of people worldwide will live in poverty by 2050, meaning many cannot afford necessities such as food, water, and health care services. Some countries will experience an even greater concentration of poor people than they currently experience today.
Even as the population continues to increase, freshwater supplies are projected to remain limited globally. By 2050, around 1.4 billion people will still not have access to an improved water source – including over 240 million without safe drinking water – making the Millennium Development Goal of halving access by 2015 unlikely. Some BRICS nations may make significant strides toward this end through improved sanitation measures and other means.
