Take me back to September 27, 1994

Let's go back to the nineties.

The date is September 27, 1994, and it's a Tuesday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Libra. 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.

The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song "I'll Make Love To You" by Boyz II Men is at the top of the singles charts, while "Saturday Night" by Whigfield is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Timecop 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 "Married... with Children", "Home Improvement", "Melrose Place", and "Beavis and Butt-Head". 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. Meanwhile, a new medical drama called "ER" has just been aired on NBC for the first time. The show, which stars George Clooney, follows the trials and tribulations of a fictional emergency room in Chicago.

A new fantasy drama TV series called "Touched by an Angel" has made its debut on CBS. In soccer, 19-year-old Paul Scholes has just made his debut for English side Manchester United. On NBC, a new sitcom called "Friends" has recently made its debut. The show follows the lives of six friends who live in New York City.

A new film called "The Shawshank Redemption", starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, has been released in movie theaters. 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. People are playing video games such as "Mortal Kombat", "X-Men", "Tetris 2", and "Jungle Strike".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", "The Adventures of Pete & Pete", "The Ren & Stimpy Show", and "Rocko's Modern Life". Children are playing with toys such as the Easy-Bake Oven, Super Soaker (water gun), X-Men Action Figures, and the Talkboy.
