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.

On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Grey's Anatomy", "Mad Men", "American Horror Story", and "Black Mirror".

Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment.

It's 2013, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Macklemore, Robin Thicke, Imagine Dragons and Bruno Mars. A social networking website called Vine is extremely popular at the moment.

A new Internet meme called "Doge", which consists of an image of a Shiba Inu dog with broken English written on it, is being shared online at the moment. The United States federal government is in a shutdown due to a congressional stalemate over the implementation of Obamacare. The app Snapchat has just released a new feature called "My Story".

In India, 115 people have been left dead following a stampede at the Navratri festival in Madhya Pradesh. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Paul Walker, Nelson Mandela, James Avery, and Ariel Sharon would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Far Cry 3", "Tomb Raider", "BioShock Infinite", and "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist".
