Take me back to November 2, 1994

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Wednesday, November 2, 1994. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

Halloween has just come and passed. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "I'll Make Love To You" by Boyz II Men is at the top of the singles charts, while "Baby Come Back" by Pato Banton is the number-one song in the UK.

Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Pulp Fiction 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. On television, a new animated series called "Gargoyles" has been broadcasted for the first time.

Meanwhile, a new sci-fi film called "Stargate" has been released in movie theaters. A man called Francisco Martin Duran has been arrested after he fired 29 rounds from an SKS rifle at the White House. Duran had approached the gates of the White House in a trench coat before opening fire. On Nickelodeon, a new cartoon called "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters" has recently been aired for the first time.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Richey Edwards, Eazy E, Selena, and Bob Ross would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "One Foot in the Grave", "Baywatch", "The X-Files", and "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Gunstar Heroes", "Mario's Time Machine", "The Jungle Book", and "Star Wars: TIE Fighter".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", "Home Improvement", "Animaniacs", and "The Magic School Bus". Popular toys at the moment include the Easy-Bake Oven, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Teen Talk Barbie, and Jurassic Park: Young Tyrannosaurus Rex.
