Let's take a stroll down memory lane!

The date is November 9th, 2002, and it's a Saturday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. People are currently enjoying their weekend.

It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song Lose Yourself by Eminem is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Heaven by DJ Sammy & Yanou is the number-one hit song.

On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Last of the Summer Wine", "The West Wing", "Boston Public", and "Scrubs".

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.

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 Lana Clarkson, Curt Hennig, Fred Rogers, and Camoflauge would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "RuneScape", "Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy", "Kingdom Hearts", and "Unreal Tournament 2003".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Rugrats", "Dawson's Creek", "Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids", and "Lizzie McGuire". Children are playing with toys such as Poo-Chi (robot dog), the PlayStation 2, the Game Boy Advance, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.
