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.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "ER", "The Apprentice", "Desperate Housewives", and "House".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas", "Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal", "Need for Speed: Underground 2", and "Half-Life 2".
