The summer is long gone. Temperatures have started to become much cooler and the evenings are beginning to get darker. Fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. There is also a fresh, earthy scent in the air. Halloween of 1995 is quickly approaching and stores are selling costumes and decorations.

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.

Movies such as Clueless and The Craft have popularized the "sexy schoolgirl" look. 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. A new video game console called the PlayStation has just been released by Sony. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

People are playing video games such as "Wario's Woods", "Air Combat", "Command & Conquer", and "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island".

A new global, interconnected network called the Internet was beginning to grow. However, it was still a novelty.
