Take me back to June 30, 2002

Let's go back to the 2000s.

It is Sunday, June 30, 2002. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Cancer. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the days ahead.

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 "Hot In Herre" by Nelly is at the top of the singles charts, while "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis vs JXL is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Mr. Deeds 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. 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. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "JAG", "Sex and the City", "The King of Queens", and "Boston Public".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Pokémon Crystal", "Devil May Cry", "Medal of Honor: Allied Assault", and "Kingdom Hearts". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Courage the Cowardly Dog", "Little Bill", "Clifford the Big Red Dog", and "Lizzie McGuire". Popular toys at the moment include Barbie and the Nutcracker doll, the Nintendo GameCube, Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, and Beyblades (spinning top toys).
