(MUSIC: Over-the-top sentimental/nostalgic music)V/O:It was the year the final Harry Potter book appeared. A time before Uber, exploding Kugas and Carpool Karaoke.When you used your cell phone to make phone calls.When Miley was famous for playing Hanna Montana, not twerking.And Tiger was famous for playing the fairway, not the field.It was long before watches counted steps.When Chuck Norris jokes were still funny. Kidding! You don’t stop laughing at Chuck Norris jokes. Chuck Norris jokes stop laughing at you.When DVD stores were easy to find.A time when you swallowed tablets, Blackberries weren’t embarrassing and Caitlyn was still Bruce.Before Pokémon Go had come, and gone.It was the year Rihanna opened her umbrella, ella, ella.It was 2007.Times change. Power doesn’t. Duracell Quantum batteries - guaranteed to last for ten years in storage.
