Take me back to June 2, 1994

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Thursday, June 2, 1994. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. In the United States, the Memorial Day weekend of 1994 has recently come and gone. To many, this means that the summer has officially started.

The summer of 1994 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 "I Swear" by All-4-One is at the top of the singles charts, while "Come On You Reds" by Manchester United FC & Status Quo is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Maverick is at the top of the box office.

John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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. On the continent of Africa, a horrible event is unfolding, as the Hutu majority in Rwanda attempt to wipe out the Tutsi minority. This genocide began following the assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana. In celebrity news, pop star Michael Jackson has married Elvis' daughter Lisa Marie Presley. The media is speculating whether or not the marriage is a publicity stunt.

The action comedy film "Beverly Hills Cop III", starring Eddie Murphy, has just been released in movie theaters. Meanwhile, "The Flintstones", starring John Goodman and Rick Moranis, has also recently hit the big screen. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Nicole Brown Simpson, Andrés Escobar, Raul Julia, and Richey Edwards would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Full House", "One Foot in the Grave", "Step by Step", and "Frasier".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "NBA Jam", "Disney's Aladdin", "Tetris 2", and "Doom". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Dinosaurs", "Rocko's Modern Life", "Weird Science", and "Sister, Sister". Popular toys at the moment include Polly Pocket, G.I. Joe (figures), Action Man, and Jurassic Park: Young Tyrannosaurus Rex.
