Take me back to November 20, 2007

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Tuesday, November 20, 2007. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Scorpio. In America, Thanksgiving 2007 is just around the corner.

It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "Kiss Kiss" by Chris Brown is at the top of the singles charts, while "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Beowulf 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.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "ER", "House", "How I Met Your Mother", and "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent", "Battlefield 2142", "BioShock", and "Assassin's Creed".
