Facebook existed back then, but now much more popular, and TikTok didn't even exist in 2007. -The 4:3 CRT monitor of the guy who crashed the internet. 16:9 LCD/LED flat monitors are much more common. (Laptops and smartphones are also much more common than desktops today.) -Tony Snow as press secretary. -The handouts replacing emails on the street being email forwards with diet tips and "pass this on to X people, and don't forget the person who sent it to you!" Social networks took over this aspect of "email forwards". -America's Funniest Home Videos (AFV) to make up for KZbin KZbin was not as monetized and content-rich as it is now, so the content included a lot of things you might find on AFV instead. -Steve Jobs still alive to meet with other "Internet power players".
