Music in the 60's

1470905 — 2016-09-29 15:06:59 UTC

- Hank Ballard - "The Twist" : A popular dancing song, which was popularized by its dance move. Originally by Hank Ballard but popularized by Chubby Checker.

- Connie Francis - "Where the Boys Are" : A popular ballad song, which hit top charts. By popular musician of-the-day Connie Francis.

- Elvis - "It's now or never" : When Elvis re-emerged from the armed forces, this song as well as "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" swooped the nation, because who doesn't like Elvis?

- The Rolling Stones - "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" : A song that was very popular in the 1960's.

- Beatles - "I want to hold your hand" : A popular song that coincided with their return. Who hasn't heard of the Beatles?

I think that only a portion of 60's music is worth a listen. There were tons of great artists, but the most prevalent genres of the 60's would not bide well in today's times.

Greasers in the 60's

1470905 — 2016-09-29 15:10:35 UTC

Greasers were known for their greased back hair, and wearing a leather jacket. They were often young, and the subculture as a whole originated among teenagers in the southern and northeastern United States. To get their hair to the greased-back state, they used a combination of hair wax, hair gel, creams, tonics, or pomade. They felt the need to rebel from their parents, and the name "Greaser" started as a rebellious title.

Technology Then, and Now. (Compare & Contrast)

1470905 — 2016-09-29 15:13:21 UTC

Technology has had some major improvements. Since the 1960's, we've gone from sawdust to a wall. We've gone from a spring, to a slinky. We've improved so much that it has people asking: "Where will we go now?". With today's electronics and technology, it's hard to imagine what it will be like 50 years from now. These drastic improvements have some people even asking for more. Teleportation? Manufacturing drones? Robots? What will we see?

Facts:
- Technology has changed, and has come a long way.
- Technology will continue to change and develop over the course of our lifetimes.
