Take me back to February 21, 1994

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is February 21, 1994, and it's a Monday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Pisces. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

In America, the song "The Power Of Love" by Celine Dion is at the top of the singles charts, while "Without You" by Mariah Carey is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie On Deadly Ground 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 "Only Fools and Horses", "Matlock", "Seinfeld", and "Melrose Place". 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.

The 1994 Winter Olympics are taking place in Lillehammer, Norway. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 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 "X-Men", "Mortal Kombat II", "Myst", and "Jungle Strike". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Thomas the Tank Engine", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", and "The Little Mermaid". Children are playing with toys such as Pogo ball / Lolo ball, Lego Pirates, Tiger 2-XL Talking Robot , and Matchbox Car Wash.
