Let's take a stroll down memory lane!

The date is October 6th, 2000, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Libra. Currently, people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

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 and there's a fresh earthy scent in the ear. In America, the song Music by Madonna is on top of the singles charts.

Over in the UK, Against All Odds by Mariah Carey & Westlife is the number one hit song. Bill Clinton is currently the President of the United States, and the movie Remember the Titans is at the top of the Box Office. In the United Kingdom, Tony Blair is the current Prime Minister.

A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is continuing to explode in popularity. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers started to allow users to send SMS messages to people on different networks. 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.

Meanwhile, the Nokia 3310 is one of the most popular cell phones on the market at the moment. Stores across the world are currently selling a wide range of custom covers for the phone. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Yokozuna, Kirsty MacColl, Dale Earnhardt and Jennifer Syme would all be still alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The King of Queens", "The West Wing", "Andromeda" and "Dark Angel".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Unreal Tournament", "Final Fantasy IX", "Mario Tennis" and "Spider-Man". Children and teenagers are currently watching television shows such as "Friends", "That '70s Show", "Ed, Edd n Eddy" and "Roswell". If you're a kid or a teenager, then you're probably playing with toys such as the PlayStation (PS1), the Dreamcast, Finger skateboards and Tekno the Robotic Puppy.
