Pop culture is what is in the here and now; everyone knows about it or has heard of it. Items like the iPod, cell phones, HD television and radio, On Star. Even internet sites like My Space and Facebook. Popular culture defines us and our surroundings by the items we choose to incorporate into our lives.
Pop culture is who we are, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not. It is all around us. It can define every aspect of your life, who you are, what you eat, and the clothes you wear. Businesses follow these trends too; they help you buy into pop culture, by making and selling the items.
The current artifact of pop culture that I chose is My Space. Almost everyone has account, and knows what it is. Here is a picture of my own My Space page.

You are correct myspace is a big thing to do right now. I my day, it was pac-man, going to the mall, and cruising. I miss those days
MySpace is so huge now and with all age groups. When it started I think a lot of younger people were using it but now all age generations have accounts and it is used for everything from trying to find "your soul mate" to simply reuniting with old friends.
I agree with what you are saying about myspace and facebook. I created a facebook account just so I could keep up with my friends that I don't get to see very often. I miss the days of just picking up a phone or writing a letter.
