Take me back to March 16, 2007

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Friday, March 16, 2007. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Pisces. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

Spring is creeping in, and the evenings are starting to get brighter. St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow, so many people are making plans to attend their local parade or visit a bar. In America, the song "This Is Why I'm Hot" by MIMS is at the top of the singles charts, while "Shine" by Take That is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie 300 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.

A financial crisis is looming. The stock market recently witnessed its worse fall since 2003 and house prices have started to decline. News organizations are reporting that the subprime mortgage market is "troubled". Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has predicted that the United States will fall into a recession by the end of 2007. 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 "Stargate SG-1", "The Royle Family", "Boston Legal", and "Battlestar Galactica".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance", "Call of Duty 3", "Medieval II: Total War", and "God of War II". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Ed, Edd n Eddy", "Veronica Mars", "Maya & Miguel", and "Wonder Pets!". Popular toys at the moment include the Xbox 360, LEGO Star Wars, Bratz Babyz, and the Nintendo Wii.
