The date is June 5, 2009, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. Many people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

The summer of 2009 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.

Gordon Brown is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Cold Case", "CSI: NY", "Ugly Betty", and "Sons of Anarchy". Meanwhile, in technology news, more and more people are beginning to use the Internet on their phones. This transition towards mobile Internet has been aided by the recent roll-out of faster 3G networks and the introduction of larger touchscreen phones.

A growing social network called Facebook is beginning to steal users away from MySpace and Bebo. Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are struggling to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. A music genre called Dubstep has started to go mainstream.
