Take me back to April 24, 2007

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Tuesday, April 24, 2007. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Taurus. The summer of 2007 is drawing closer, and temperatures have started to rise.

In America, the song "Give It To Me" by Timbaland, Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake is at the top of the singles charts, while "Beautiful Liar" by Beyonce & Shakira is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Blades of Glory 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. Worries about the subprime mortgage market and a recession are continuing to grow. Real estate investment trust "New Century" has just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and CNN are currently reporting that there has been a "meltdown" in the subprime mortgage. In celebrity news, a voicemail of actor Alec Baldwin calling his 11-year-old daughter a "thoughtless pig" has just been leaked by TMZ.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Eddie Jamaal Griffin, Luciano Pavarotti, Colin McRae, and Sean Taylor would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Sopranos", "Gilmore Girls", "Boston Legal", and "Psych". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Just Cause", "Final Fantasy XII", "God of War II", and "Pokémon Diamond Version".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "7th Heaven", "Peppa Pig", "Unfabulous", and "Curious George". Popular toys at the moment include LEGO Star Wars, 7-Eleven Slurpee Drink Maker, Pixel Chix, and the PlayStation 3.
