Let's go back to the 2000s.

It is Tuesday, November 28, 2000. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder.

In America, the song "Independent Women Part 1" by Destiny's Child is at the top of the singles charts, while "Can't Fight The Moonlight" by LeAnn Rimes is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Charlie's Angels is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks. In technology news, more and more music companies are beginning to release MP3 players. The new MP3 format means that music listeners are able to listen to multiple albums on the go. It's the year 2000, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Faith Hill, Savage Garden, Destiny's Child, Santana, Sisqó, Creed, Aaliyah and Enrique Iglesias.
