Take me back to March 26, 2005

Let's go back to the 2000s.

It is Saturday, March 26, 2005. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Aries. The work week is over and Saturday has finally come, so people are spending time with their kids, going to bars, shopping, playing video games, and watching sports.

Spring has arrived, and the days are starting to get longer. In America, the song "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent is at the top of the singles charts, while "All About You / You've Got A Friend" by McFly is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Guess Who 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 "JAG", "Charmed", "America's Next Top Model", and "Dog the Bounty Hunter".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Spider-Man 2", "The Sims 2", "Resident Evil 4", and "God of War". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "7th Heaven", "Kim Possible", "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide", and "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County". Popular toys at the moment include Cosmolight Alien Eggs, Tamagotchi Connection , Furreal Luv Cubs, and 20Q.
