New Technology: Cow-Free Burger

The cow-free burger is new technology that has the same nutrition of meat, without the need for killing animals.  Meat can be 'grown' in a lab, using a piece of animal muscle and replicating it.  This would reduce the use of water land, and energy and make a lot of people happy.  It could lead to producing more 'perfect' food/nutrition in the future where we can optimize what we need instead of eating whatever we want.  Food can go back to being used for survival instead of for enjoyment.  This could solve many problems due to eating such as obesity.

21st Century Technology

Virtual reality is a 21st century technology that is becoming more and more common in the world.  Many technologies before it influenced the way it works now.  These include the television, the computer, and the phone.  The television set the foundation for creating a digital image.  The progression of technology from computers to phones allowed for the same processing power to take up less space, and eventually fit into virtual reality goggles.  In the future, virtual reality could become a part of everyone's lives.  It could be implanted in our brains, and the goggles may no longer be necessary.

Music Post

1. Nineties
Blink-182
Blink-182 is a combination of punk and alternative rock common to the 90's.  'Grunge' was typical of the 90's.  This was similar to the rock that came before in the 80's, and incorporated the breaking of rules similar to punk.  Many grunge bands started as 'garage bands' and didn't follow classical musical standards.

2. Punk
My Chemical Romance
My Chemical Romance is a combination of punk and rock.  Punk came from 'garage bands' and continued on to become genres like alternative rock.  The lyrics are often controversial, and sometimes even political.

3. Electronic/DJ Culture
The Chainsmokers
They have a consistent beat throughout the entire song.  Most sounds are artificially made, using a drum machines and synthesizers.  A lot of their songs are simply remixes, as they are DJs, and only change the beat and add other artificial features.

4. Girl Power
Heart
Heart has a female lead singer, and also elements of rock.  It showcases a strong female with a strong beat and uses real sounds from the drums, guitar, and keyboard.

5. Postmodern Crisis
Coldplay
Coldplay uses uncommon chords on guitar.  Their older songs were mostly soft, which contrasts the rock and punk of the 90's.  They also experimented with sound, creating unique sounds while retaining a message that rock music was able to portray as well.
