Take me back to February 6, 2002

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Wednesday, February 6, 2002. Anyone born today will have the star sign Aquarius. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

In America, the song "U Got It Bad" by Usher is at the top of the singles charts, while "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Black Hawk Down is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

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. In technology news, more and more people are beginning to gain access to the Internet. Internet speeds are increasing and MP3 sharing is beginning to threaten the existence of music stores. People are using a software program called LimeWire to share music, software, and videos. Unfortunately, it is also a haven for computer viruses.

It's 2002, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Ashanti, Nickelback, Nelly, Eminem, Usher, Blu Cantrell, The Calling, Linkin Park and Jennifer Lopez. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Layne Staley, Left Eye, Big Dick Dudley, and The British Bulldog would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Stargate SG-1", "Charmed", "The Office (UK version).", and "Alias".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Max Payne", "Pokémon Crystal", "Devil May Cry", and "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty".
