Let's go back in time!

The date is December 31st, 2005, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Capricorn. Currently, people are enjoying their weekend.

It's News Years Eve and everyone is looking forward to what the year 2006 will bring them. In America, the song Run It by Chris Brown is on top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, JCB Song by Nizlopi is the number one hit song.

George W. Bush Jnr. is currently the President of the United States, and the movie The Chronicles of Narnia is at the top of the Box Office. In the United Kingdom, Tony Blair is the current Prime Minister. 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.

A popular software program called LimeWire is currently being used by many people to share music, software and videos. It is also a haven for computer viruses. Internet users are using MSN Messenger to chat with each other online. Cameras on phones have become the norm. Furthermore, the quality of these cameras are continuing to increase with each new phone release. We are now entering into an age where any event can be photographed or recorded in an instance.

Practically every teenager and adult has a MySpace or a 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 Chris Penn, J Dilla, Proof and Charles Haughey would all be still alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "One Tree Hill", "Pimp My Ride", "Boston Legal" and "Bones". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Pokémon FireRed Version", "Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal", "Football Manager 2005" and "F.E.A.R.".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County", "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody", "Johnny Test" and "Ben 10". If you're a kid or a teenager, then you're probably playing with toys such as Betty Spaghetty (doll), the PlayStation 2, Beyblades (spinning top toys) and the Nintendo DS.
