Take me back to October 7, 2007

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is October 7, 2007, and it's a Sunday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Libra. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the week ahead.

The summer is long gone. Temperatures have become much cooler, and the evenings are beginning to get darker. There is a fresh, earthy scent in the air, and fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. In America, the song "Crank That" by Soulja Boy is at the top of the singles charts, while "About You Now" by Sugababes is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie The Game Plan is at the top of the box office. Gordon Brown is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "The Shield", "Lost", "Mad Men", and "Gossip Girl".

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. The global financial system is beginning to crack as the subprime mortgage crisis intensifies. In England, a "bank run" has occurred on the bank Northern Rock. Meanwhile, online bank "NetBank" has filed for bankruptcy protection due to its exposure to home loans. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Sean Taylor, Evel Knievel, Ike Turner, and Benazir Bhutto would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance", "Call of Duty 3", "Wii Play", and "BioShock". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Dora the Explorer", "Unfabulous", "Hannah Montana", and "Horrid Henry". Children are playing with toys such as Bionicle LEGO, Pixel Chix, Moon Sand, and Pirates of the Caribbean ship.
