Let's go back to the 2000s.

It is Friday, October 26, 2007. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Scorpio. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

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. Halloween 2007 is just days away. People are watching horror movies and thinking about which costume they are going to wear. Others are organizing parties.

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 Saw IV is at the top of the box office. Gordon Brown 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 Sean Taylor, Evel Knievel, Ike Turner, and Benazir Bhutto would all still be alive.
