Take me back to March 20, 2004

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Saturday, March 20, 2004. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Pisces. The work week is over and Saturday has finally come, so people are spending time with their kids, going to bars, shopping, playing video games, and watching sports.

Spring has arrived, and the days are starting to get longer. St. Patrick's Day of 2004 has recently come and gone. In America, the song "Yeah" by Usher is at the top of the singles charts, while "Cha Cha Slide" by DJ Casper is the number-one song in the UK.

George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Dawn of the Dead 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 Pat Tillman, Ronald Reagan, Ray Charles, and Marlon Brando would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Royle Family", "Alias", "8 Simple Rules", and "The Apprentice". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne", "FIFA Football 2004", "True Crime: Streets of LA", and "Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Ed, Edd n Eddy", "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Grounded for Life", and "My Wife and Kids". Popular toys at the moment include HitClips audio player, Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, Micropets, and Bulls Eye Ball.
