I was hanging around with my friends in a local park on this exact date. It was a Saturday afternoon, and I also remember dropping my Nokia 3210 that day. I've a mental image of me putting the case back on because the battery fell out.

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

The date is June 15, 2002, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

The summer of 2002 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. In America, the song "Foolish" by Ashanti is at the top of the singles charts, while "Light My Fire" by Will Young is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Scooby-Doo 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 "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Futurama", "Gilmore Girls", and "Star Trek: Enterprise". 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.

The 2002 FIFA World Cup is currently taking place in South Korea and Japan. A rock music genre called "Emo" is beginning to become more and more mainstream. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Jam Master Jay, Lana Clarkson, Curt Hennig, and Fred Rogers would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "RuneScape", "The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons", "Final Fantasy X", and "Max Payne". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "The Amanda Show", "Little Bill", "The Fairly OddParents", and "ChalkZone".
