HD TV becomes the norm
HD TV quickly became the norm during this time, as flat-screen televisions were starting to fall in price.
No Country for Old Men
"No Country for Old Men" won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2007.
Mobile Internet begins to take off
Internet access on cellphones became common in the late 2000s. This transition was aided by the rollout of faster 3G Internet networks and the introduction of larger touchscreen phones. Although many phones had Internet features at the start of the decade, they were often awkward and costly to use.
Saddam Hussein is executed
On December 30th, 2006, former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was executed after he was found guilty of crimes against humanity. Controversy erupted after cellphone footage of his hanging was leaked on the Internet shortly afterwards.
Night at the Museum
The film "Night at the Museum", starring Ben Stiller, was being shown in movie theaters during this time.
LOLcats
An Internet meme called "LOLcats" was incredibly popular. The meme consisted of photographs of cats with captions that had intentionally poor grammar and spelling.
The HD DVD war
Two HD DVD formats called Blu-ray and HD DVD were competing with each other to become the de facto high-definition standard. During this "war", certain movies and TV shows could only be found on Blu-ray or HD DVD, as film studios quickly aligned themselves with the format that they wanted to win. In rental stores, it was common to see a separate section for both of these formats. Of course, this often led to people buying or renting the wrong one.
Bringing digital cameras to nightclubs and bars
During the 2000s, people often brought digital cameras with them to clubs and bars. The following day, they would upload their photographs to social media websites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Bebo. Although most phones had cameras, their picture quality was bad, especially in darker settings such as nightclubs.
Bebo
By this stage, a new social network called Bebo had become a huge hit in countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and New Zealand. Bebo was famous for its quizzes, auto-playing video box, whiteboard, "Bebo Skins," and "Bebo Luv" features.
Music stores are going out of business
Many music stores were closing their doors for the last time. The ease of downloading and streaming music meant that the business model of selling CDs was quickly becoming nonviable.
Happy Slapping
A controversial fad called "Happy Slapping" originated in the United Kingdom during the mid-2000s. The trend involved slapping someone for the sole purpose of recording the incident with a camera phone.
MySpace
MySpace was the most popular social network in the world between 2005 and 2008. The site gave users the ability to customize their profiles by editing HTML and embedding songs. It also had chat rooms and other features.
Scene kids
"Scene Kids" became a big subculture in the latter half of the decade. Their fashion consisted of skinny jeans, bright colors, and straight hair with long fringes.
