Valentine's Day is just around the corner. 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 Ace Ventura: Pet Detective 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 "Full House", "Family Matters", "Melrose Place", and "Martin". 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 music, rock band Green Day have just released their new album "Dookie". The album contains songs such as "Longview" and "Basket Case". In Mississippi, white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith has been convicted of the 1963 murder of civil rights leader Medgar Evers.

In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Recently, 68 people were killed when the Bosnian Serb Army fired a mortar shell at an open-air market place in Sarajevo. 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. People are playing video games such as "Mortal Kombat", "X-Men", "Mortal Kombat II", and "Tetris 2".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Garfield and Friends", "Clarissa Explains It All", "X-Men: The Animated Series", and "Animaniacs". Children are playing with toys such as the Game Boy, Fear Street books, Teen Talk Barbie, and Jurassic Park: Young Tyrannosaurus Rex.
