Take me back to June 10, 2009

Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

It is Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

The summer of 2009 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "Boom Boom Pow" by The Black Eyed Peas is at the top of the singles charts, while "Mama Do" by Pixie Lott is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Up 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.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, and Steve McNair would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Scrubs", "Skins", and "Gossip Girl". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots", "Spore", "Fallout 3", and "Call of Duty: World at War".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "The Backyardigans", "Wonder Pets!", "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse", and "Wizards of Waverly Place". Popular toys at the moment include Bionicle LEGO, the Xbox 360, Iggle Piggle, and Fast Talkin' Lightning McQueen.
