Take me back to September 16, 2011

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Friday, September 16, 2011. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Virgo. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

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 "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 ft Christina Aguilera is at the top of the singles charts, while "All About Tonight" by Pixie Lott is the number-one song in the UK.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Contagion 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.

People are using pre-made comics called "Rage Comics" to share funny and relatable experiences. It's 2011, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Adele, Maroon 5, LMFAO, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Bruno Mars. There is a strange new fad called "planking", which involves a person lying face down in an unusual location.

An Advice Animal meme called "Good Guy Greg" is beginning to take off in popularity. Meanwhile, in the Middle East, protests in Syria have snowballed, and a civil war has started. Armed militias are now beginning to spring up across the country. The catchphrase "We are the 99%" is being used to spread awareness about wealth inequality in the United States. People are also posting photographs of themselves holding placards that describe their financial situation.

A civil war is continuing to rage on in Libya. Libyan rebels, with the support of NATO, have captured the capital Tripoli. They are now beginning to make rapid advances into pro-Gaddafi territory. An advertisement video for American taxidermist Chuck Testa has gone viral and Internet users are repeating the catchphrase "Nope! Chuck Testa!" The 2011 Rugby World Cup is taking place in New Zealand at the moment.

Nude photographs of actress Scarlett Johansson have been leaked on the Internet. A new app called "Snapchat" has just been released. American pop duo LMFAO have released a new song called "Sexy and I Know It".

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Steve Jobs, Joe Frazier, Heavy D, and Gary Speed would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "MythBusters", "My Super Sweet 16", "True Blood", and "Shameless". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Call of Duty: Black Ops", "Homefront", "Total War: Shogun 2", and "Terraria".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "SpongeBob SquarePants", "The Fairly OddParents", "Adventure Time", and "Teen Wolf". Popular toys at the moment include Roboraptor, the PlayStation 3, the iPad, and Gentle Giraffe.
