Take me back to March 9, 2004

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is March 9, 2004, and it's a Tuesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. Spring is creeping in, and the evenings are starting to get brighter.

In America, the song "Yeah" by Usher is at the top of the singles charts, while "Toxic" by Britney Spears is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie 50 First Dates 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 "The Royle Family", "Futurama", "8 Simple Rules", and "The Apprentice". 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.

Smartphones don't exist yet. There are no Androids or iPhones. Cameras on phones are quickly becoming the norm. However, the photographs that they take are still lacking in quality. Internet users are using MSN Messenger and AIM to chat with each other online.

A flash animation of badgers singing "badger, badger, badger" has become a viral hit on the Internet. The animation, which loops indefinitely, was published by British animator Jonti Picking in September 2003. It's 2004, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Usher, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, OutKast, Mario Winans, the Terror Squad and Ciara. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Pat Tillman, Ronald Reagan, Ray Charles, and Marlon Brando would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "True Crime: Streets of LA", "Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando", "Need for Speed: Underground", and "Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "7th Heaven", "CatDog", "Dora the Explorer", and "Rocket Power". Children are playing with toys such as the PlayStation 2, Micropets, Hokey Pokey Elmo, and LEGO Clikits.
