Take me back to October 27, 2010

Let's go back to the 2010s.

The date is October 27, 2010, and it's a Wednesday. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Scorpio. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

The summer is long gone. Temperatures have become much cooler, and the evenings are beginning to get darker. There is a fresh, earthy scent in the air, and fallen leaves have carpeted driveways, lawns, pathways, and sidewalks. Halloween 2010 is just days away. People are watching horror movies and thinking about which costume they are going to wear. Others are organizing parties.

The song "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars is at the top of the music charts in the United States and the United Kingdom. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Paranormal Activity 2 is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

On television, people are watching popular shows such as "CSI: NY", "How I Met Your Mother", "Breaking Bad", and "Real Housewives of New York City". 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.

People are using pre-made comics called "Rage Comics" to share funny and relatable experiences. A new photo-sharing app called Instagram has just been released. In celebrity news, pop star Katy Perry and Russell Brand have just been married in India.

Actor Charlie Sheen is in the news once again following revelations that he was forcibly removed from his suite at the Plaza Hotel by police after he caused thousands of dollars worth of damage.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Leslie Nielsen, Pete Postlethwaite, Nate Dogg, and Elizabeth Taylor would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Assassin's Creed II", "Mass Effect 2", and "Battlefield: Bad Company 2". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "LazyTown", "Go, Diego, Go!", "Sonny with a Chance", and "Victorious".
