Take me back to June 18, 2004

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Friday, June 18, 2004. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Gemini. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

The summer of 2004 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 "Burn" by Usher is at the top of the singles charts, while "I Don't Wanna Know" by Mario Wynans & Enya is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie DodgeBall 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. In Portugal, UEFA Euro 2004 is taking place. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Marlon Brando, Rick James, Brian Clough, and Big Boss Man would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Stargate SG-1", "The Royle Family", "The King of Queens", and "Punk'd". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", "The Simpsons Hit & Run", "SSX 3", and "Need for Speed: Underground". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Johnny Bravo", "Rocket Power", "Jackie Chan Adventures", and "Dave the Barbarian".

Popular toys at the moment include HitClips audio player, Beyblades (spinning top toys), Playmobil Airport, and Hokey Pokey Elmo.
