Take me back to June 17, 2010

On television, people are watching popular shows such as "The Office", "Eureka", "Dexter", and "Community". 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.

In South Africa, the 2010 FIFA World Cup is currently taking place and stadiums are being filled with the sound of vuvuzelas.

AOL has sold its struggling social network "Bebo" to Criterion Capital Partners. Like many social networks, the site has found it difficult to compete with the rise of Facebook. AOL's decision to buy Bebo in 2008 for $850 million has been described as one of the worst deals ever made in the dot-com era. In basketball, the Los Angeles Lakers have just won the 2010 NBA Finals by beating the Boston Celtics in the seventh game. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Lance Cade, Giant Gonzalez, Denise Borino-Quinn, and Leslie Nielsen would all still be alive.
