Take me back to February 23rd, 2004!

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

The date is February 23rd, 2004, and it's a Monday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Pisces. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

In America, the song Yeah by Usher is at the top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Who's David by Busted is the number-one hit song. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie 50 First Dates 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 "7th Heaven", "Everybody Loves Raymond", "That '70s Show", and "The O.C.". 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.

Internet users are using MSN Messenger and AIM to chat with each other online. A flash animation of badgers singing "badger, badger, badger" has become a viral hit on the Internet. The animation, which loops indefinitely, was published by British animator Jonti Picking in September 2003. It's 2004, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Usher, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, OutKast, Mario Winans, the Terror Squad and Ciara.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Pat Tillman, Ronald Reagan, Ray Charles, and Marlon Brando would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow", "Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando", "Need for Speed: Underground", and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Johnny Bravo", "Kim Possible", "Jimmy Neutron", and "Drake & Josh".

Children are playing with toys such as Bratz dolls, Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, Beyblades (spinning top toys), and VideoNow (portable player).
