HP

Windows Vista was pure 2000s aesthetic. I think the official name for that type of design is Frutiger Aero. Glossy, watery-like buttons, and glassy interfaces. I didn't like Vista because my laptop could barely run it, but I do feel a sense of nostalgia looking back at it. I remember having to disable all of the fancy UI graphics just so it could run properly.

Take me back to January 30, 2007

Let's go back to the 2000s.

It is Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Aquarius. In America, the song "Irreplaceable" by Beyonce is at the top of the singles charts, while "Grace Kelly" by Mika is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Epic Movie is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Practically every teenager and adult has a MySpace or Bebo account.

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. Meanwhile, in technology news, more and more people are beginning to use the Internet on their phones. This transition towards mobile Internet has been aided by the recent roll-out of faster 3G networks and the introduction of larger touchscreen phones. It's 2007, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Sean Kingston, Soulja Boy and Nelly Furtado.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Anna Nicole Smith, Eddie Jamaal Griffin, Luciano Pavarotti, and Colin McRae would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "The Shield", "Cold Case", and "Eureka". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Kingdom Hearts II", "Scarface: The World Is Yours", "Saints Row", and "Resistance: Fall of Man".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Dora the Explorer", "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide", "Johnny Test", and "Mr. Meaty". Popular toys at the moment include Bionicle LEGO, Amazing Amanda (doll), the PlayStation 3, and the Nintendo Wii.
