Take me back to March 4, 2005

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Friday, March 4, 2005. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

Spring is creeping in, and the evenings are starting to get brighter. In America, the song "Let Me Love You" by Mario is at the top of the singles charts, while "Get Right" by Jennifer Lopez is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie The Pacifier is at the top of the box office.

Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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.

The trial of pop star Michael Jackson for child molestation is attracting international media attention. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Johnnie Cochran, Pope John Paul II, Luther Vandross, and Lloyd Avery II would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Smallville", "The Wire", "MythBusters", and "Lost".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Counter-Strike: Source", "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas", "Halo 2", and "Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Caillou", "Bear in the Big Blue House", "That '70s Show", and "Malcolm in the Middle". Popular toys at the moment include Beyblades (spinning top toys), Ello Creation System, Tamagotchi Connection , and Furreal Luv Cubs.
