Take me back to January 24, 1994

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Monday, January 24, 1994. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Aquarius. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

In America, the song "All For Love" by Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart & Sting is at the top of the singles charts, while "Things Can Only Get Better" by D:ream is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Philadelphia is at the top of the box office. John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

A war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 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.

Tributes are pouring in for former Manchester United manager Matt Busby, who has passed away at the age of 84. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Bill Hicks, John Candy, Kurt Cobain, and Richard Nixon would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Married... with Children", "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "One Foot in the Grave", and "The Nanny".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "X-Men", "Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind", "Mighty Final Fight", and "Mario's Time Machine". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", "Taz-Mania", "Barney & Friends", and "X-Men: The Animated Series". Popular toys at the moment include the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, Yo-yo, G.I. Joe (figures), and Tiger 2-XL Talking Robot .
