Take me back to November 27, 2002

Let's go back to the 2000s.

The date is November 27, 2002, and it's a Wednesday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

In America, it is the day before Thanksgiving and people are looking forward to tomorrow's dinner. 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, while "Dirrty" by Christina Aguilera is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Die Another Day 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 "Charmed", "Andromeda", "Alias", and "Firefly".

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 "Red Faction", "Kingdom Hearts", "Medieval: Total War", and "FIFA Football 2003 ".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Caillou", "Clifford the Big Red Dog", "Jackie Chan Adventures", and "The Proud Family". Children are playing with toys such as Fisher Price Chatter Phone, My First LeapPad, Cranium Cadoo, and Lamaze Octotunes.
