Asignment 1.5

1960 - 1980 -- What an exciting and confusing time period this was for our country and even the world.

The historical events in the U.S. included the Vietnam War, space travel ending with several lunar orbits, President Kennedy being assassinated with a conspiracy developing, and many more similar events.

The music of the time was what was considered Rock-N-Roll which carried Elvis, the Beatles during this period, the music was wild and loud. Today we call it 'Soft Rock."

The internet and video games were just beginning to peak towards the end of this period. Both have changed the way we live today with instant access to anyone, anywhere in the world.

The movies and entertainment world transformed during this period. Films were produced with what we consider today, low quality and quickly developed into high quality, highly technical experiences.

All of these items has taken what we once had as our popular cultures and morphed us into our new world of popular cultures that we live in today.
