Take me back to May 2, 2007

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Wednesday, May 2, 2007. Anyone born today will have the star sign Taurus. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

The summer of 2007 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. The school year is nearly finished. In America, the song "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne 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 Disturbia 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 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 Wire", "Punk'd", "Bones", and "Skins". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Saints Row", "Resistance: Fall of Man", "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess", and "Wii Play". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Drake & Josh", "LazyTown", "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide", and "Hannah Montana".

Popular toys at the moment include Bionicle LEGO, Doctor Dreadful Freaky Food Lab, Magic Glow Doodle Bear, and 7-Eleven Slurpee Drink Maker.
