Life in 2007 ??

Je

I’m performing in in the heights this August and basically my director keeps reminding us all it’s set in 2007. The thing is I was about 6/7 years old then so I obviously don’t know what life was like for a 20 somethin person! If anyone can give me a bit of information about what life was like then I’d be so thankful, especially if you have any information on New York and any challenges immigrant might’ve faced at the time x
