Take me back to July 9, 2005

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is July 9, 2005, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Cancer. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

The 4th of July celebrations in America have come and passed. The summer of 2005 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "Inside Your Heaven" by Carrie Underwood is at the top of the singles charts, while "Ghetto Gospel" by 2Pac ft. Elton John is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Fantastic Four is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "ER", "Fear Factor", "Scrubs", and "CSI: Miami".

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. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Lloyd Avery II, Tara Correa-McMullen, Rosa Parks, and Eddie Guerrero would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "RuneScape", "Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal", "World of Warcraft", and "Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Bear in the Big Blue House", "My Life as a Teenage Robot", "LazyTown", and "Zoey 101". Children are playing with toys such as Betty Spaghetty (doll), Bratz dolls, Barbie B-Book Laptop, and 20Q.
