Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

The date is September 3, 2014, and it's a Wednesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Virgo. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

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. In the United States, Labor Day of 2014 has recently come and passed. To many, this means that the summer is officially over. In America, the song "Rude" by Magic! is at the top of the singles charts, while "Lovers on the Sun" by David Guetta featuring Sam Martin is the number-one song in the UK.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Ninja Turtles is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Sherlock", "Veep", "Chicago Fire", and "Orange Is the New Black".

Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment.
