Take me back to September 6, 1994

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Tuesday, September 6, 1994. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves.

In the United States, Labor Day of 1994 has recently come and passed. To many, this means that the summer is officially over. In America, the song "I'll Make Love To You" by Boyz II Men is at the top of the singles charts, while "Love Is All Around" by Wet Wet Wet is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Natural Born Killers is at the top of the box office.

John Major is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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 Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Northern Ireland, the Provisional IRA have called a "complete cessation of military operations". Meanwhile, Soviet occupation in Eastern Europe has officially come to an end following the recent withdrawal of Russian troops from Latvia and Estonia. A catchy song called "Saturday Night" has been released by Danish eurodance artist Whigfield. The song is receiving constant airplay on radio stations.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Raul Julia, Richey Edwards, Eazy E, and Selena would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Step by Step", "The X-Files", "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman", and "Walker, Texas Ranger". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Myst", "Tetris 2", "RoboCop Versus The Terminator", and "Star Wars: TIE Fighter".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Fireman Sam", "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers", "Bill Nye the Science Guy", and "All That". Popular toys at the moment include Polly Pocket, Nerf Arrowstorm, Matchbox Car Wash, and Jurassic Park: Young Tyrannosaurus Rex.
