Popular culture is a culture of people or society. Also, we can define culture system that contains many different things such as behavior patterns, beliefs, and customs. Also, popular cultures can be anything which ranges new technologies, politic, and so on. For instance, last election (America Election) Barack Obama took the advantage of the new technologies and defeated his opponent by using all available technologies. Now, it seems to me that Barack Obama’s campaign became popular culture in American politics.There is no doubt that popular culture has a big influence on daily lives of many people including myself. I strongly believe that new technology has a lot of influence on a lot of people particularly younger ages. Whenever I watch a new movie, I feel like that I need to watch that movie again, and I think many other people do too, this is how entertainment industry has a big influence on many people , and I am one of those people.As far I know all businesses need public attention whether they are services sector or sell products (services or manufacture) because if they do not get the attention that they need it is going to be very difficulty for them to sell their products or services. Therefore, it is not only important but, it is necessary for them to get the public attention.The popular culture artifact that I chose is technology. First, technology has a lot of influence on people and shapes the culture. Also, technology is growing-fast, and some people will do (buying) what it takes to them regardless the features and the price. For accordingly to national news I phone came first many people were on line over four hours to buy I phone around $500, few months later less price and better features. I believe some of the today’s technologies are popular culture. For instances, cell phones or mobile phones are popular cultures in many different countries in the world. For instance, if you are in China or United States of American or any other country in the world cell phones are becoming a popular culture because they fit all criteria and definitions of popular culture. Therefore, it is popular culture, and my prediction the near future millions of people will use cell phones.
