Rock & Roll, 1950's - 1971

Rock & Roll. Sex. Drugs. Parties & Freedom. This is what this time period reminds me off. Total chaos. Color T.V. was just coming out in the 1950 and by 1954 more than half of Americans had a T.V. in their home. Elvis Presley, who did not love him. He became a major sex symbol in the 50's. All the women loved him. The great invention of the woman icon was invented. The barbie Doll. The idea of the perfect woman was invented. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous speech " I have a dream." People started protesting the war and anything else they did not agree with.
People started to realize that they can get away with much more...The media started to test their limits and see how far they can go with out being censored.
The movie we watched "A Clockwork Orange" was very interesting. The movie was very out there and looked like one of those movies that is a dream. Some parts were very racy and a little over the edge. This movie reminds me of on of my favorite movies, "Requiem of a Dream." This movie is about Drugs and random sex. And pushes the limit.
The 70 was all about the Hippie era. FLower power. Peace, Love and Drugs.

Apple

Apple is always ahead of everyone else. In everything they do make they try to come up with the most creative and futuristic ideas. I love the Mac and i wish i had one. They always win over a PC in every different aspect. When i first saw the I-Phone, i did not understand it. It was very advanced and had so many different applications, that have never been seen on a phone yet. Since the phone has been out, everyone i know that has it loves it. Once again apple makes an intelligent and well working product.
This new product that Apple talks about in the article " The most important thing I've ever done" is the new tablet. I am sure how this tablet can do more than the i-phone can, but i am excited for Apple to show me the amazing functions it has. I would wait it out and not get one right away, with every amazing new device that comes out, there is constantly a new one on its way.

intro

So far I am enjoying art & technology. This class is extremely different than anything i have taken before. The class is full with information about a variety of inventors, actors, artists and many others. I am excited to challenge my creativity and make things out of the ordinary. Sometimes i am nervous to make a piece of art that does not make sense, but this class proves that everything is art. last semester i made a stop motion film, and i had some trouble coming up with an idea. I just hope i can think of something interesting for my book project coming up soon.
