Take me back to June 14, 2002

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

It is Friday, June 14, 2002. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

The summer of 2002 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 "Foolish" by Ashanti is at the top of the singles charts, while "Light My Fire" by Will Young is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Scooby-Doo is at the top of the box office.

Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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. In technology news, more and more people are beginning to gain access to the Internet. Internet speeds are increasing and MP3 sharing is beginning to threaten the existence of music stores.

People are using a software program called LimeWire to share music, software, and videos. Unfortunately, it is also a haven for computer viruses. It's 2002, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Ashanti, Nickelback, Nelly, Eminem, Usher, Blu Cantrell, The Calling, Linkin Park and Jennifer Lopez. The 2002 FIFA World Cup is currently taking place in South Korea and Japan.

A rock music genre called "Emo" is beginning to become more and more mainstream. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Jam Master Jay, Lana Clarkson, Curt Hennig, and Fred Rogers would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Touched by an Angel", "Friends", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and "Andromeda".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "RuneScape", "Twisted Metal: Black", "Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec", and "WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "The Simpsons", "Dexter's Laboratory", "Bob the Builder", and "Courage the Cowardly Dog". Popular toys at the moment include Finger skateboards, Intelli Table, the Game Boy Advance, and the Nintendo GameCube.
