Ready for a walk down memory lane?

The date is June 15, 1994, and it's a Wednesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

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 "Love Is All Around" by Wet Wet Wet is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Speed 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 "One Foot in the Grave", "Step by Step", "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman", and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". 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.

TLC singer Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes is in the news for all of the wrong reasons after she recently burned down NFL star Andre Rison's home following an argument. People are shocked by the news that Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman have been found stabbed to death at Brown's condo in Brentwood, Los Angeles. Brown's ex-husband, former NFL star O.J. Simpson, has been questioned in connection with the crime. However, he has not been charged. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Andrés Escobar, Raul Julia, Richey Edwards, and Eazy E would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master", "Gunstar Heroes", "Disney's Aladdin", and "Mario's Time Machine". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Round the Twist", "The Ren & Stimpy Show", "Goof Troop", and "X-Men: The Animated Series". Children are playing with toys such as the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Polly Pocket, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), and Matchbox Car Wash.
