Let's go back in time!
The date is May 30th, 2003, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. Most people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.
The summer of 2003 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. In the United States, the Memorial Day weekend of 2003 has recently come and gone. To many, this means that the summer has officially started. In America, the song 21 Questions by 50 Cent is at the top of the singles charts.
Over in the UK, Ignition by R. Kelly is the number-one hit song. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Finding Nemo is at the top of the box office. Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
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 Barry White, Bob Hope, Charles Bronson, and John Ritter would all still be alive.
On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "King of the Hill", "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Home Movies", and "Scrubs". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Battlefield 1942", "Animal Crossing", "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past", and "Championship Manager 4". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "CatDog", "The Powerpuff Girls", "My Wife and Kids", and "The Fairly OddParents".
Popular toys at the moment include the PlayStation 2, Pixter drawing tablet, Micropets, and Barbie B-Book Laptop.

MP3 sharing on the Internet became extremely common in the early-to-mid 2000s. MP3 players were taking over, and portable CD players such as the "Discman" were being phased out.

Wallpaper was quickly disappearing from people's homes during the early 2000s. By this stage, minimalist interior design trends were in vogue, and many people had already made the switch to using paint.
The floppy disk was being phased out by this point, as the emergence of the CD-RW and faster Internet speeds had made it somewhat redundant.
People were using CD folders and disc towers to store their music collections and PlayStation games. CD folders were particularly useful if you wanted to switch between different albums while driving.
