Take me back to May 7, 2003

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is May 7, 2003, and it's a Wednesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Taurus. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

The summer of 2003 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. The school year is nearly finished. In America, the song "Get Busy" by Sean Paul is at the top of the singles charts, while "Loneliness" by Tom Craft is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Identity 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 "Friends", "7th Heaven", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and "Angel". 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. 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", "Unreal Tournament 2003", "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2", and "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Dawson's Creek", "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Dora the Explorer", and "ChalkZone". Children are playing with toys such as Betty Spaghetty (doll), the PlayStation 2, the Nintendo GameCube, and Cranium Cadoo.
