A new form of communication called "text messaging" is continuing to grow in popularity. 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 declined in popularity and women are beginning to wear form-fitting outfits such as slip dresses and pencil skirts.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Eazy E, Selena, Bob Ross and Jerry Garcia would all be still alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "One Foot in the Grave", "Beavis and Butt-Head", "Ellen" and "Touched by an Angel".
