Popular Culture Assign 1-2

Popular culture is made up of 80% of the population. Popular culture is effected by 4 main factors; economics, education and exposure and emotion. The understanding of popular culture is necessary in a business environment. Popular culture determines the price and quantity of products.

I would consider a cell phone to be an example of a pop culture artifact. Today, cell phones are becoming a way of life for many. Cell phones come in a variety of styles and prices and can appeal to just about anyone. They have made business more efficient, with the ability to send emails right to the phone, and internet access. Younger generations also enjoy cell phones because of texting, the cameras that have been added to the phones and the different ring tones that can be downloaded.

I think cell phones started a whole new era in communication. It's hard to remember a time when you couldn't reach someone on their cell phone (for better or worse!). Now that cell phones can do so much, like take pictures, video, play music and go online, they have really become an all-purpose communication device.
