Let's go back to the 2010s.

It is Monday, July 26, 2010. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Leo. The weekend has just passed, so some people are feeling a bit down. Others are tired after partying too much.

The summer of 2010 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 "California Gurls" by Katy Perry is at the top of the singles charts, while "We No Speak Americano" by Yolanda Be Cool is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Despicable Me is at the top of the box office.

David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. 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. It's 2010, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Kesha, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Eminem and Bruno Mars.

People are going to their local cinema to watch a new movie called "Inception". Actress Lindsay Lohan has just been sentenced to 90 days in jail for a parole violation. In celebrity news, actor Orlando Bloom and model Miranda Kerr have been married in a secret ceremony.

There are fears for the safety of NBA player Lorenzen Wright, who has gone missing in Tennessee. 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. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Prison Break", "The Big Bang Theory", and "Breaking Bad".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Mafia Wars", "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Battlefield: Bad Company 2", and "God of War III".
