Take me back to May 10, 2004

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Monday, May 10, 2004. Anyone born today will have the star sign Taurus. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

The summer of 2004 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. The school year is nearly finished. 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 Van Helsing 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.

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 "Frasier", "JAG", "Everybody Loves Raymond", and "24".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne", "The Simpsons Hit & Run", and "FIFA Football 2004". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "SpongeBob SquarePants", "That's So Raven", "All Grown Up! (Rugrats)", and "My Life as a Teenage Robot". Popular toys at the moment include Betty Spaghetty (doll), Justice League Figures, Bulls Eye Ball, and Ello Creation System.
