The date is March 13th, 1998, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. Most people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

Spring has started to creep in, and the days are beginning to get longer. In America, the song Gettin' Jiggy Wit' It by Will Smith is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion is the number-one hit song.

Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Titanic is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "The X-Files", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "The Nanny", and "Friends".

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. 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. In fashion, bright and metallic colors are all the rage—a big change from the darker "grunge" colors of the early 1990s. Women are wearing maxi skirts, bell bottoms, knee boots, crop tops, tube tops, slip dresses, maxi coats, and platform shoes. Meanwhile, a lot of men have ditched their grunge and skater clothes in favor of a "dress casual" look. They are also beginning to cut their hair shorter.

It's 1998, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Brandy, Monica, Aerosmith, R. Kelly, K-Ci & JoJo, Céline Dion, All Saints, Steps and Will Smith. The Clinton-Lewinsky sex scandal is receiving ongoing media attention. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Rob Pilatus, Frank Sinatra, Phil Hartman, and Michelle Thomas would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Final Fantasy VII", "Harvest Moon", "Tenchu: Stealth Assassins", and "1080° Snowboarding". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Rugrats", "All That", "Kenan & Kel", and "KaBlam!". Children are playing with toys such as Jenga, Dear Diary, Car City Carpet, and Bop It.
