Welcome to my first blog. Mostly designed for the Franklin University HUMN341 Popular Culture Class. This weeks discussion is, as you guessed it, Popular Culture and what it means to me.
So, I know your all shivering with anticipation, what exactly does popular culture mean to me? Well, personally, I think that popular culture is just all the things that are "in" right now. All the collections of current music, artists, movies, fashion trends and much much more.
It's important to understand popular culture from a busine
ss standpoint because well all businesses need customers to survive, and customers are all affected by popular culture. Majority of customers want the "what's hot" of tomorrow. We are a society that is constantly changing and reinventing.

We are a society that is constantly changing and reinventing.For me there are way too many pop culture artifacts to narrow it down to the one that sums up pop culture of today, but personally one type of artifact I enjoy is DVD's. Particularly the new BluRay DVD's. I have been fortunate to have obtained already 40+ Blu Ray DVD's and with my big flat panel TV I have the "what's hot" of tomorrow...today!
I, like many people, enjoy getting lost in all types of movies from Horror to Action! And now with BluRay I am enjoying movies clearer now with rich sound and loads of colors as if I'm seeing movies for a first time! It's hard to believe that 100 years ago or less people only had radio or at best a little black and white tv. Today's movies are fast past with loads of action and as much color as in real life.
I think its a little obvious why I chose the new blu-ray dvd's as my artifact, I love movies and love technology so what better way to represent that than with the latest technology to view superior movies!
Now that I've said pleny about blu-ray dvd's I will end today's blog with well an excellent blu-ray dvd movie suggestion! If you want to view a movie that is great for the family, has lots of action, excellent computer animation that seems life like and has superior color in blu-ray format than you have to watch The Golden Compass.
Thanks for reading!

I have never heard of this type of a DVD before. It sounds very interesting from your post and I think I am going to look into it more. I love to watch movies and listen to music all the time and If there is something new, I'd like to experience it for myself.
Jay -
I have recently heard of Blu-ray but wasnt' really sure what they are. From your blog I understand they are better than a regular DVD. I'll check it out. I enjoyed reading about them.

Hi Jay
I am very intersted to hear what you think about the Blue Ray disc as we work through the course. We are planning on buying a newer t.v witin the next year or so and were trying to decide if we wanted to spend the money on the Blue Ray player.
I will check back soon to see if you have added any info.
Thanks, I appreciate your informaiton.
Jay,
I love Blu-ray. It so awesome to watch movies that are so clear. I bought one when they were really expensive, but it was worth it. The whole battle of Blu-ray and HD was so interesting to me, but we obviously know who won that battle!
