Take me back to November 27, 2006

Let's go back to the 2000s.

The date is November 27, 2006, and it's a Monday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

In America, Thanksgiving and Black Friday have recently come and passed. People are now beginning to look forward to Christmas. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "I Wanna Love You" by Akon is at the top of the singles charts, while "Patience" by Take That is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Borat 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 "Stargate SG-1", "Battlestar Galactica", "Prison Break", and "Bones".

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. 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 2006, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Daniel Powter, Sean Paul, Nelly Furtado, James Blunt, Gnarls Barkley, Shakira and Natasha Bedingfield. A rock music genre called "Emo" is extremely popular at the moment. The genre, which stands for "emotional hardcore", has created a subculture of "Emos" who dye their hair black and wear thick-framed glasses.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as James Brown, Gerald Ford, Bam Bam Bigelow, and Anna Nicole Smith would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Fight Night Round 2", "Kingdom Hearts II", "Final Fantasy XII", and "Medieval II: Total War". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Danny Phantom", "Go, Diego, Go!", "Johnny Test", and "Horrid Henry".

Children are playing with toys such as Bionicle LEGO, Furreal Luv Cubs, InteracTV, and Dora's Talking House.
