Take me back to June 18, 2010

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Friday, June 18, 2010. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Gemini. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

The summer of 2010 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. In America, the song "OMG" by Usher ft will.i.am is at the top of the singles charts, while "Shout" by Shout for England is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie The Karate Kid is at the top of the box office.

David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. Sadly, it seems as though they will be unable to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. It's 2010, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Kesha, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Eminem and Bruno Mars.

In South Africa, the 2010 FIFA World Cup is currently taking place and stadiums are being filled with the sound of vuvuzelas. Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton has come under fire after posting an upskirt picture of 17-year-old Miley Cyrus on Twitter. In celebrity news, actor Harrison Ford has married actress Calista Flockhart in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

AOL has sold its struggling social network "Bebo" to Criterion Capital Partners. Like many social networks, the site has found it difficult to compete with the rise of Facebook. AOL's decision to buy Bebo in 2008 for $850 million has been described as one of the worst deals ever made in the dot-com era. In basketball, the Los Angeles Lakers have just won the 2010 NBA Finals by beating the Boston Celtics in the seventh game. The animated film "Toy Story 3" has just been released in movie theaters.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Lance Cade, Giant Gonzalez, Denise Borino-Quinn, and Leslie Nielsen would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "One Tree Hill", "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", "CSI: NY", and "Sons of Anarchy". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Battlefield: Bad Company 2", "God of War III", and "Red Dead Redemption".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Ben 10", "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse", "The Suite Life on Deck", and "Team Umizoomi". Popular toys at the moment include Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker, Crayola Color Wonder Magic Brush, Sprig Adventure Series Discover Rig, and the KidiZoom Camera.
