Take me back to March 8th, 1995!

Let's take a stroll down memory lane!

The date is March 8th, 1995, and it's a Wednesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. Spring has started to creep in and the days are beginning to get longer.

In America, the song Take A Bow by Madonna is on top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Think Twice by Celine Dion is the number one hit song. Bill Clinton is currently the President of the United States, and the movie Man of the House is at the top of the Box Office.

In the United Kingdom, John Major is the current Prime Minister. 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. Movies such as Clueless and The Craft have popularized the "sexy school girl" look. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage on in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Meanwhile, CDs have become the dominant format for music. People are buying CD players and portable CD players such as the "Discman". As a result, the older cassette tape format is continuing to decline in sales.

It's 1995, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Celine Dion, Everything but the Girl, Coolio, Oasis, Michael Jackson, Boyzone, Madonna, Montell Jordan, TLC and Mariah Carey. Former football player O.J. Simpson is currently being tried for the murder of his ex wife and her friend. 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 "Matlock", "Roseanne", "Step by Step" and "Babylon 5". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Myst", "Super Metroid", "The Jungle Book" and "Wario's Woods". Children and teenagers are currently watching television shows such as "Barney & Friends", "Living Single", "All That" and "The Magic School Bus".

If you're a kid or a teenager, then you're probably playing with toys such as the Easy-Bake Oven, Yo-yo, Pogs / Milkcaps and Power Rangers figures.
