Take me back to April 28, 2004

Let's go back to the 2000s.

It is Wednesday, April 28, 2004. Babies who are 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 2004 is drawing closer and temperatures have started to rise. In America, the song "Yeah" by Usher is at the top of the singles charts, while "F**k It" by Eamon is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Man on Fire 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. 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 Ronald Reagan, Ray Charles, Marlon Brando, and Rick James would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "ER", "Futurama", "The West Wing", and "Cold Case". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "RuneScape", "Soulcalibur II", "Call of Duty", and "Project Gotham Racing 2". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Grounded for Life", "Kim Possible", and "Jimmy Neutron".

Popular toys at the moment include Micropets, Bionicle LEGO, Hokey Pokey Elmo, and Ello Creation System.
