It is Tuesday, July 10, 1990. Anyone born today will have the star sign Cancer. The 4th of July celebrations in America have come and passed.

The summer of 1990 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "Step By Step" by New Kids on the Block is at the top of the singles charts, while "Sacrifice / Healing Hands" by Elton John is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Snr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Days of Thunder is at the top of the box office.

Margaret Thatcher is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, most people have never heard of the Internet. In fashion, many of the trends from the late 80s are still popular. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment.

It's 1990, so the airwaves are being dominated by music artists such as Sinéad O'Connor, Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, Vanilla Ice, Mariah Carey, Stevie B, Madonna and MC Hammer. Rapper Vanilla Ice has just released his song "Ice Ice Baby". The film "Die Hard 2" has just been released in movie theaters.

West Germany have won the 1990 FIFA World Cup after beating Argentina 1-0 in the final. An 85th minute penalty from German defender Andreas Brehme was enough to seal the victory. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roald Dahl, John Bardeen, and Miles Davis would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Magnum, P.I.", "'Allo 'Allo!", "Sherlock Holmes", and "One Foot in the Grave".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Duck Hunt", "Paperboy", "World Cup Italia '90", and "Phantasy Star II". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Muppet Babies", "The Care Bears", "Pingu", and "Art Attack".
