I remember how everyone on Reddit was so certain that Google+ would kill off Facebook. In reality, it would take another 10 years before a teenage "dancing app" finally threatened its supremacy. Meanwhile, Google+ has already been gone for years.

Take me back to June 28, 2011

Let's go back to the 2010s.

It is Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Cancer. The summer of 2011 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 "Rolling In The Deep" by Adele is at the top of the singles charts, while "Don't Wanna Go Home" by Jason Derulo is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Cars 2 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. People are using pre-made comics called "Rage Comics" to share funny and relatable experiences. It's 2011, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Adele, Maroon 5, LMFAO, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Bruno Mars.

Anti-government protests are taking place in cities across Syria. A civil war is raging on in Libya. Large battles are taking place between Colonel Gaddafi's government forces and Libyan rebels, who are being supported by NATO. There is a strange new fad called "planking", which involves a person lying face down in an unusual location.

The ongoing trial of Casey Anthony for the murder her 2-year-old daughter Caylee is receiving widespread attention on social media. A blackhat hacking group called "LulzSec" is receiving a lot of attention following a number of high-profile attacks on companies such as Sony. An Advice Animal meme called "Good Guy Greg" is beginning to take off in popularity.

A new legal drama series called "Suits" has just premiered on TV. Google have just launched their new social network "Google+" and people are wondering if it can challenge Facebook for the top spot. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Betty Ford, Roberts Blossom, Amy Winehouse, and Zyzz would all still be alive.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "The Royle Family", "Psych", "True Blood", and "Community". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty", "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood", "Portal 2", and "Duke Nukem Forever". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "LazyTown", "Go, Diego, Go!", "Curious George", and "Team Umizoomi".

Popular toys at the moment include the PlayStation 3, Harumika (dolls), Duck Hunter, and Liv Dolls.
