A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread.

The Nokia 3210 is currently one of the most popular cellphones on the market. 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. Eminem has just released his best-selling album "The Marshall Mathers LP".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver", "FIFA 2000", "Unreal Tournament", and "Syphon Filter 2". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Blue's Clues", "Bear in the Big Blue House", "The Powerpuff Girls", and "Dora the Explorer".

Popular toys at the moment include the Nintendo 64, Road Champs bikes, WWF action figures, and Rocket the Wonder Dog.
