Take me back to November 24, 2004

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Wednesday, November 24, 2004. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

In America, it is the day before Thanksgiving and people are looking forward to tomorrow's dinner. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "My Boo" by Usher & Alicia Keys is at the top of the singles charts, while "I'll Stand By You" by Girls Aloud is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie The Incredibles 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 Dimebag Darrell, Lamont Bentley, Johnnie Cochran, and Pope John Paul II would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "The Wire", "One Tree Hill", and "Date My Mom". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow", "Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando", "Pokémon FireRed Version", and "FIFA Football 2005". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Static Shock", "Kim Possible", "My Life as a Teenage Robot", and "Veronica Mars".

Popular toys at the moment include Bionicle LEGO, VideoNow (portable player), Easy-Bake Real Meal, and Baby Annabell.
