Take me back to October 28, 2016

Let's go back to the 2010s.

It is Friday, October 28, 2016. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Scorpio. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

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 2016 is just days away. People are watching horror movies and thinking about which costume they are going to wear. Others are organizing parties.

In America, the song "Closer" by The Chainsmokers is at the top of the singles charts, while "Shout Out to My Ex" by Little Mix is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Boo! A Madea Halloween is at the top of the box office. Theresa May is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

It's 2016, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Drake, Lukas Graham, Sia, Mike Posner, The Chainsmokers and Calvin Harris. The 2016 United States presidential election is in full swing, with Hillary Clinton facing off against Donald Trump. A video clip of Danielle Bregoli shouting "Catch me outside, how about that?" is going viral as social media users repeatedly mimic her catch phrase.

The "Evil Kermit" meme is currently going viral, as people use the format to describe their battles with their inner conscience. The games "Battlefield 1" and "Civilization VI" have just been released. FBI director James Comey has just announced that his agency will be investigating newly discovered emails that are pertinent to the FBI's previous investigation of Hillary Clinton's private server. As a result, Hillary Clinton's poll numbers begin to drop.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Fidel Castro, Big Syke, George Michael, and Carrie Fisher would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Walking Dead", "American Horror Story", "Power", and "Narcos - Season 2". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain", "Halo 5: Guardians", "Rise of the Tomb Raider", and "Fallout 4".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Dora the Explorer", "Doc McStuffins", "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", and "The Loud House". Popular toys at the moment include the Xbox One, Crayola Paint Maker, Hatchimals, and Bunchems.
