Take me back to March 25, 2003

Let's go back to the 2000s.

The date is March 25, 2003, and it's a Tuesday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Aries. Spring has arrived, and the days are starting to get longer.

In America, the song "In Da Club" by 50 Cent is at the top of the singles charts, while "Spirit In The Sky" by Gareth Gates is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Bringing Down the House 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 "The Royle Family", "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Home Movies", and "Punk'd". 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.

Smartphones don't exist yet. There are no Androids or iPhones. Cameras on phones are quickly becoming the norm. However, the photographs that they take are still lacking in quality. It's 2003, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of 50 Cent, R. Kelly, Sean Paul, 3 Doors Down, Nelly, Evanescence, Chingy and Beyonce.

An American restaurant owner has recently attracted media attention by renaming "French Fries" as "Freedom Fries". This was in response to France's opposition to the invasion of Iraq. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Camoflauge, Barry White, Bob Hope, and Charles Bronson would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "RuneScape", "Kingdom Hearts", "Battlefield 1942", and "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Ed, Edd n Eddy", "Dora the Explorer", "Malcolm in the Middle", and "Static Shock". Children are playing with toys such as the Xbox, Beyblades (spinning top toys), Cranium Cadoo, and Bionicle LEGO.
