Ready for a walk down memory lane?

It is Monday, July 14, 2003. Anyone born today will have the star sign Cancer. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

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. The song "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce is at the top of the music charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Pirates of the Caribbean 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.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Bob Hope, Charles Bronson, John Ritter, and Johnny Cash would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "King of the Hill", "Sex and the City", "Charmed", and "Without a Trace". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "RuneScape", "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2", "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4", and "Ratchet & Clank".

The Internet begins to hurt music stores
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.

Floppy disks are being phased out
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.
CD folders and disc towers
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.
