Take me back to June 12, 2003

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

It is Thursday, June 12, 2003. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. The summer of 2003 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September.

In America, the song "21 Questions" by 50 Cent is at the top of the singles charts, while "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence is the number-one song in the UK. George W.

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 "Angel", "Becoming", "The Shield", and "MythBusters". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Medal of Honor: Frontline", "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", "Ratchet & Clank", and "Championship Manager 4". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Caillou", "Bob the Builder", "Malcolm in the Middle", and "The Fairly OddParents".

Popular toys at the moment include Gogo's Crazy Bones, the PlayStation 2, Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, and Cranium Cadoo.
