American University Technology Observers: Facebook Groups

http://autechobservers.blogspot.com/2006/12/facebook-groups.html

American University Technology Observers. We are a group of students at American University who are attempting to document how technology has come to influence our culture. Every day we use our cell phones, MP3 players, and computers without even realizing how they may be affecting us. We hope to encourage others to participate in the observation of technology in our everyday lives. This project was inspired by Caleb Crain's article in the New Yorker; Surveillance Society.

Pop Culture: Borat

http://popcultureau.blogspot.com/2006/12/borat.html

Sunday, December 3, 2006. Over Thanksgiving, I finally saw Borat after hearing how awesome it was from everyone around me for nearly a month. Personally, I found the movie hilarious, and have also enjoyed reading about all the controversy surrounding it, as well as looking at it from an anthropological/pop culture perspective.

Pop Culture: December 2006

http://popcultureau.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 6, 2006. However, I was reading the news online the other day, and stumbled across this gem. It could be worse, I guess- we could be subjected to what they put on TV in the. Http:/ www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/05/television.dutch.reut/index.html. Or hey, you could always be old-fashioned and just take guitar lessons like people used to do back in the good old days…. On that same metro ride, in my car alone, I saw 16 people, in five stops with an ipod. These people ranged from ki...

Pop Culture: To the Left, To the Left

http://popcultureau.blogspot.com/2006/12/to-left-to-left.html

Tuesday, December 5, 2006. To the Left, To the Left. TO THE LEFT, TO THE LEFT. Over Thanksgiving break, while members of my family were starting to eat the food laid out before them, someone asked where the roast beef was. At least four people responded, “To the left, to the left.”. This is the first lyric heard in Beyonce Knowles’s song “Irreplaceable,” and it is just as addictive to people as “SexyBack.”.

Pop Culture: iPOd's

http://popcultureau.blogspot.com/2006/12/ipods.html

Wednesday, December 6, 2006. While sitting on the metro on my way back from a job interview at 4 PM on a Friday, I noticed a five men walk on together. Each man had those distinctive white headphones on, but continued their conversation with each other. Was their music really that important, or has the ipod become so popular that it has become OK to engage in conversation while listening to your ipod. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Pop Culture: Facebook

http://popcultureau.blogspot.com/2006/12/facebook.html

Monday, December 4, 2006. The facebook website has become a pop phenomenon. People will be out at bars, and see someone who they have never met, yet they are facebook friends with. Facebook lingo has even entered mainstream college culture. It is pop to go “facebooking”, or as the girl the computer lab’s case, facebook stalking. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Pop Culture: Starbucks

http://popcultureau.blogspot.com/2006/12/starbucks.html

Tuesday, December 5, 2006. In many ways Starbucks is the embodiment of a new sort of culture permeating our society. It at once stands for the many attributes marking the defining characteristics of pop-culture and continually seeks out the boundaries for a new understanding of this. One begins to feel, upon entering, that an experience is occurring and this is precisely what is so interesting about Starbucks: while waiting for their coffee, patrons can relax to Bob Marley or A Charlie Brown Christmas.
