Take me back to March 19, 1994

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is March 19, 1994, and it's a Saturday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Pisces. The work week is over and Saturday has finally come, so people are spending time with their kids, going to bars, shopping, playing video games, and watching sports.

Spring has arrived, and the days are starting to get longer. St. Patrick's Day of 1994 has recently come and gone. In America, the song "The Sign" by Ace of Base is at the top of the singles charts, while "Without You" by Mariah Carey is the number-one song in the UK.

Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie The Naked Gun 33 1/3 is at the top of the box office. John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "Only Fools and Horses", "One Foot in the Grave", and "Babylon 5".

Meanwhile, in technology news, a relatively new storage format called the CD is beginning to outpace the regular cassette tape in music sales. The disc-based format gives listeners the ability to skip between songs instead of having to manually rewind and forward. A new form of communication called "text messaging" is starting to become more widespread. However, it can only be done if both the sender and the receiver are on the same cell network. Meanwhile, a global system called "the Internet" is also starting to take off. Each day, more and more people are learning how to send emails and browse "websites" on the World Wide Web by connecting their IBM computers to noisy dial-up modems.

In fashion, "grunge" clothing has fallen out of favor, and women are beginning to wear form-fitting outfits such as slip dresses and pencil skirts. Movies such as Clueless and The Craft have popularized the "sexy schoolgirl" look. It's 1994, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of All-4-One, Boyz II Men, R. Kelly, Céline Dion, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Meat Loaf, Bon Jovi, Wet Wet Wet, Rednex and Mariah Carey. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In music news, rock band Nine Inch Nails have released their second album "The Downward Spiral". In the United Kingdom, the first female priests have been ordained by the Church of England. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Kurt Cobain, Richard Nixon, Ayrton Senna, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Tiny Toon Adventures 2: Trouble in Wackyland", "NBA Jam", "Doom", and "FIFA International Soccer". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Home Improvement", "The Animals of Farthing Wood", "Biker Mice from Mars", and "Boy Meets World". Children are playing with toys such as Jenga, the SEGA Game Gear, Super Soaker (water gun), and Magna Doodle.
