Take me back to April 7, 2000

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is April 7, 2000, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Aries. Many people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

The summer of 2000 is drawing closer, and temperatures have started to rise. In America, the song "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child is at the top of the singles charts, while "Never Be The Same Again" by Melanie C is the number-one song in the UK. Bill Clinton is the President of the United States, and the movie Erin Brockovich 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 "Walker, Texas Ranger", "Party of Five", "Stargate SG-1", and "Angel". A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks.

The Nokia 3210 is currently one of the most popular cellphones on the market. In technology news, more and more music companies are beginning to release MP3 players. The new MP3 format means that music listeners are able to listen to multiple albums on the go. It's the year 2000, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Faith Hill, Savage Garden, Destiny's Child, Santana, Sisqó, Creed, Aaliyah and Enrique Iglesias.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as David Tomlinson, Walter Matthau, Yokozuna, and Kirsty MacColl would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Driver", "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater", "Grand Theft Auto 2", and "Donkey Kong 64". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Boy Meets World", "7th Heaven", "The Angry Beavers", and "Bear in the Big Blue House".

Children are playing with toys such as Gogo's Crazy Bones, Groovy Girls, LEGO Soccer Championship Challenge, and Bendos.
