On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Only Fools and Horses", "Cheers", "Seinfeld", and "Family Matters". Texting is not a thing yet. Instead, people are using landline phones and pagers. Furthermore, most people have never heard of the Internet. A civil war is taking place in the African country of Rwanda.

It's 1992, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Kris Kross, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Right Said Fred, Snap! and Nirvana. In fashion, many of the trends from the late 1980s are still in vogue. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts, and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment. Grunge fashion has also become mainstream, popularizing band t-shirts, ripped jeans, mom jeans, and Doc Martens. A war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Meanwhile, the breakdown of Prince Charles' and Princess Diana's relationship is continuing to receive widespread media attention. The Royal Palace has been forced to officially admit that there is a rift between the two and quotes from an explicit phone call between Prince Charles and Camilla Shand have recently been published in the tabloids. In boxing, Riddick Bowe has beaten Evander Holyfield to become the new undisputed heavyweight champion. In music news, Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne has performed at the last concert of his retirement tour.

In music, singer Whitney Houston has recently released her new soundtrack album "The Bodyguard". The album contains songs such as "I Will Always Love You" and "I'm Every Woman". If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Audrey Hepburn, Thurgood Marshall, Andre the Giant, and Bobby Moore would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "F-16 Combat Pilot", "Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing", "Mortal Kombat", and "Super Star Wars".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Full House", "Roseanne", "Rugrats", and "The Adventures of Tintin". Children are playing with toys such as Yo-yo, Fear Street books, Super Soaker (water gun), and Mighty Max.
