Let's go back to the 2000s.

The date is February 27, 2007, and it's a Tuesday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Pisces. In America, the song "What Goes Around..." by Justin Timberlake is at the top of the singles charts, while "Ruby" by Kaiser Chiefs is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Ghost Rider 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 "MythBusters", "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", "Prison Break", and "Psych".

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.
