Take me back to December 6, 2005

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Tuesday, December 6, 2005. Anyone born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. The Christmas season of 2005 has begun.

In technology news, more and more people are beginning to gain access to the Internet. Internet speeds are increasing and MP3 sharing is beginning to threaten the existence of music stores. People are using a software program called LimeWire to share music, software, and videos. Unfortunately, it is also a haven for computer viruses. Smartphones don't exist yet. There are no Androids or iPhones.

Internet users are using MSN Messenger and AIM to chat with each other online. Cameras on phones have now become the norm. Furthermore, the quality of these cameras is continuing to increase with each new phone release. We are now entering an age where any event can be instantly photographed or recorded. Practically every teenager and adult has a MySpace or Bebo account.

It's 2005, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani, Mario, Kelly Clarkson, 50 Cent, Kanye West and Ciara. Satirical factoids about actor Chuck Norris are extremely popular at the moment. These "Chuck Norris Facts" consist of absurd hyperbolic claims about Norris' toughness. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Richard Pryor, John Spencer, Chris Penn, and J Dilla would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "7th Heaven", "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "The O.C.", and "Joey". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Pokémon FireRed Version", "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory", "Nintendogs", and "Guitar Hero". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Peppa Pig", "LazyTown", "Veronica Mars", and "Avatar: The Last Airbender".
