The summer of 1995 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "Waterfalls" by TLC is at the top of the singles charts, while "Boom Boom Boom" by Outhere Brothers is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Apollo 13 is at the top of the box office.

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. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The CD is quickly becoming the dominant format for music, and people are buying portable players such as the "Discman". Consequently, sales of cassette tapes are continuing to decline.

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 Jerry Garcia, Mickey Mantle, Yitzhak Rabin, and Stretch would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Matlock", "Step by Step", "Melrose Place", and "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "FIFA Soccer 95", "Warcraft: Orcs & Humans", "Full Throttle", and "Air Combat".
