Take me back to November 22, 2009

Let's take a walk down memory lane.

It is Sunday, November 22, 2009. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Sagittarius. People are currently enjoying their weekend. However, because it's a Sunday, some are dreading the days ahead.

In America, Thanksgiving 2009 is just around the corner. It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "Fireflies" by Owl City is at the top of the singles charts, while "You Are Not Alone" by X-Factor Finalists is the number-one song in the UK.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie 2012 is at the top of the box office. Gordon Brown is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, in technology news, more and more people are beginning to use the Internet on their phones. This transition towards mobile Internet has been aided by the recent roll-out of faster 3G networks and the introduction of larger touchscreen phones.

A growing social network called Facebook is beginning to steal users away from MySpace and Bebo. Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are struggling to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. A music genre called Dubstep has started to go mainstream.

It's 2009, so the music charts are filled with artists such as The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Flo Rida, Taylor Swift and T.I. The game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" has just been released. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Umaga, Brittany Murphy, Corey Haim, and Chris Kanyon would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Lost", "Friday Night Lights", "16 and Pregnant", and "The Vampire Diaries". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars", "Farmville", "FIFA 10", and "Assassin's Creed II". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Postcards from Buster", "The Hills", "Curious George", and "Sonny with a Chance".
