It is Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Virgo. 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 "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas is at the top of the singles charts, while "Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie I Can Do Bad All By Myself is at the top of the box office.

Gordon Brown is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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.
