Take me back to June 28, 2001

Let's go back to the 2000s.

It is Thursday, June 28, 2001. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Cancer. The summer of 2001 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.

The song "Lady Marmalade" by Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Mya & Pink is at the top of the music charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Fast and the Furious is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

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. 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. Meanwhile, the Nokia 3310 is one of the most popular cellphones on the market at the moment. Stores across the world are currently selling a wide range of custom covers for the phone.

It's 2001, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson, OutKast, Crazy Town, Destiny's Child, Usher, Alicia Keys, Blu Cantrell and Jennifer Lopez. An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom is causing a crisis in the British agriculture and tourism sectors. The authorities are killing cows and sheep in an effort to halt the disease. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Aaliyah, Thuy Trang, George Harrison, and Layne Staley would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "ER", and "Jackass". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn", "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask", "WWF No Mercy", and "Red Faction". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Johnny Bravo", "Dexter's Laboratory", "Little Bill", and "Grounded for Life".

Popular toys at the moment include Betty Spaghetty (doll), Dragonfly RC Stunt Racer, Amazing Ally, and Powerpuff Girls Dolls.
