Take me back to September 5, 2000

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is September 5, 2000, and it's a Tuesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves.

In the United States, Labor Day of 2000 has recently come and passed. To many, this means that the summer is officially over. In America, the song "Doesn't Really Matter" by Janet Jackson is at the top of the singles charts, while "Music" by Madonna is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Bring It On is at the top of the box office.

Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "ER", "Friends", "That '70s Show", and "Becker". A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks.

In technology news, more and more music companies are beginning to release MP3 players. The new MP3 format means that music listeners are able to listen to multiple albums on the go. It's the year 2000, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Faith Hill, Savage Garden, Destiny's Child, Santana, Sisqó, Creed, Aaliyah and Enrique Iglesias. Meanwhile, the Nokia 3310 is one of the most popular cellphones on the market at the moment. Stores across the world are currently selling a wide range of custom covers for the phone.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Yokozuna, Kirsty MacColl, Dale Earnhardt, and Jennifer Syme would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Pokémon Red and Blue", "Medal of Honor", "Resident Evil - Code: Veronica", and "Perfect Dark". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "All That", "Blue's Clues", "Bear in the Big Blue House", and "Digimon Adventure".

Children are playing with toys such as the PlayStation (PS1), Car City Carpet, the Game Boy Color, and the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" boardgame.
