Popular Culture to me is something or someone that is accepted by society. For example: Barbie dolls are am item of popular culture, or the Leave It To Beaver show. A Popular Culture artifact, is important in some way to the society in which it is presented. Popular Culture is relevant to me because in my Web Development career the computer has shrank in size, and the Internet has grown in size. The computer and the Internet are both popular culture artifacts.
A Popular Culture artifact of interest to me is the Brady Bunch show. I grew up in the 1970's, and it was very popular for children, and my self. I would choose the Bady Bunch for an artifact, because it was easy for me to accept and identify with as a child. The Brady Bunch was a popular tv sitcom which started in 1969. It was a story about two people, who were each raising three children on their own. When they meet and fall in love they are married. In the early 1970's there were not as many families with step children, so they seemed unique to society.

Hello,
I just wanted to express my deapest appologizes for you and your best friend. I know your having a horrible time right now and I just wanted to wish you well. It's very nice what you have done with your page. Great Job!!

I too can relate to the Brady Bunch show. Another show which was similar, but in a later day was "Roseanne". I liked this show because it was more realistic than say the "Cosby show". How many kids really have one parent who is a doctore and one who is a lawyer? In the Brady Bunch show and the Roseanne Show, they had to deal with real everyday struggles.
Hi, I want to say good job on your blog. My thoughts are with you regarding your best friend. I too can relate to your loss. I lost my best friend 6 years ago in a car accident, she died when she was only 21...way too early to die,so much in life yet to live. Good example of an artifact. I think that we can all relate to the Brady Bunch no matter how young or old we all are. Take care, and it does get easier, I promise....
