Let's go back to the 2000s.

Let's go back to the 2000s.

The date is September 25, 2001, and it's a Tuesday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Libra. Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves.

The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys is at the top of the singles charts, while "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" by Kylie Minogue is the number-one song in the UK. George W. Bush Jnr. is the President of the United States, and the movie Hardball is at the top of the box office.

Tony Blair is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Frasier", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Ally McBeal", and "The King of Queens". A relatively new form of communication called "text messaging" is becoming more widespread. Although the technology has been around since the mid-1990s, it was only recently that cell providers allowed users to send SMS messages to people on different networks.

In technology news, more and more music companies are beginning to release MP3 players. The new MP3 format means that music listeners are able to listen to multiple albums on the go. Meanwhile, the Nokia 3310 is one of the most popular cellphones on the market at the moment. Stores across the world are currently selling a wide range of custom covers for the phone. It's 2001, so the music charts are being dominated by the likes of Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson, OutKast, Crazy Town, Destiny's Child, Usher, Alicia Keys, Blu Cantrell and Jennifer Lopez.

An outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the United Kingdom is causing a crisis in the British agriculture and tourism sectors. The authorities are killing cows and sheep in an effort to halt the disease. The world is in a complete state of shock after the September 11 attacks, which brought down the World Trade Center and killed 3,000 people. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as George Harrison, Layne Staley, Left Eye, and Big Dick Dudley would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes", "Shenmue", "RuneScape", and "The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "The Powerpuff Girls", "Roswell", "Little Bill", and "Clifford the Big Red Dog". Children are playing with toys such as Gogo's Crazy Bones, Betty Spaghetty (doll), Rescue Heroes figures, and Eloise Doll.
