Take me back to September 28, 2012

Let's go back to the 2010s.

It is Friday, September 28, 2012. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Libra. People have "that Friday feeling" and are excited for the weekend.

Schools and colleges are starting again, and fall has officially arrived. As a result, temperatures are beginning to cool, and trees are starting to shed their leaves. The earthy smells of autumn have started to fill the air. In America, the song "One More Night" by Maroon 5 is at the top of the singles charts, while "Hall Of Fame" by The Script ft will.i.am is the number-one song in the UK.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Hotel Transylvania 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 2012, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Gotye, Flo Rida, LMFAO and Ellie Goulding. Meanwhile, a new photo-sharing app called Instagram is currently surging in popularity.

In music news, a new song called "Gangnam Style" by South Korean singer Psy is going viral at the moment. The campaign for the 2012 United States presidential election is taking place as President Barack Obama goes up against Republican nominee Mitt Romney. A new dating app called Tinder has just been released.

If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Sammi Kane Kraft, Tony Lip, Aaron Swartz, and Robert F. Chew would all still be alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Gossip Girl", "Boardwalk Empire", "The Walking Dead", and "Person of Interest". Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "Battlefield 3", "Metal Gear Solid HD Collection", "Minecraft", and "Journey".

Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "The Fairly OddParents", "Peppa Pig", "The Backyardigans", and "Glee". Popular toys at the moment include Girl Gourmet Sweets Candy Jewel, Laser Zero Gravity, Gentle Giraffe, and Air Hogs Hawk Eye.
