2004, a little of what happened

By: Brenton Curry

Over the year of 2004 many of things had happened. Beyond all of us living through it there were something’s to look back at so that we can recognize how fare we have come in such a short time and how they now play a factor in our lives today. One of which I know effects my life everyday is facebook. On February 4, 2004 facebook was created in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In the beginning this was only a means of communication between college students. Today it has grown into something so great that is advertised virtually almost anywhere online. You can send messages, video, blog, Share pictures and many other things. It has turned into a multi communication central for internet users. Not only now do college students use it, but anyone can now access facebook.
Another huge event was the 2004 summer Olympic Games that took place from August 13-29 in Athens. This was a huge event because it did not only involve the United States and the rest of the world. Families and friends watched from all over the world to observe this event. New times and standards were brought for to make the challenge even more difficult to achieve.
This was also a big year for movies especially for horror films. Many of the horror movies were starting and continuing trilogies. One of which was the trilogy Saw. This was a huge box office hit when it first came out and has continued to be a huge success to today. Just recently the finish as to what we think of the trilogy with Saw 6. Another trilogy is the Grudge. This was a continuing from the movie The Ring which came out in 2002. The Ring was one of the first of its kind to shock audiences the way it did. When the Grudge came out the creators looked to do the same but in a different form to get a different feel from the same type of horror. Out of 2004 continuing and starting trilogies there was The Exorcist, Blade, The Seed Of Chucky, and Dawn of the Dead.
