Music Genres

*90s Music*
-Weezer: I remember loving Weezer, and I also remember the song Beverley Hills coming on the radio every 10 minutes.  Weezer was a rock band formed in 1992 from Los Angeles and signed to Geffen Records in 1993.

*Punk Music*
-Fall Out Boy: This is an American punk rock band that was from Illinois and was formed back in 2001.  Whenever someone says punk music, I always think of Fall Out Boy and their punk rock head bang music that started out in a garage.

*Electronic/ DJ Music*
-Marshmello:  Electronic music is one that is not much vocals but mostly with a music board.  This music has actually been around since 1943 in Paris when Musique concrète put together audio recordings of natural and industrial sounds.  My favorite electronic DJ is Marshmello because a lot of his songs or videos tell a story instead of it just being a jumble of sounds that don't make sense.

*Girl Power Music*
-Beyonce: the person that comes to mind is Beyonce for me.  She has put out so much music that supports women's beauty and empowers women such as "Pretty Hurts" and "Who Run the World, Girls", etc.  This music supports women and lifts them up and appreciates their beauty, hard work, and feminity.

*Disco Music*
-Bee Gees: Everyone knows that classic song "Stayin Alive" by the Bee Gees.  This was a group that had disco music which formed in 1958 but got really popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  There are disco themed parties now with "disco" balls, colorful lights, a dance floor, bright color clothes, and afros

21st Century Technology & New Technology

So many technological advancements have happened in the last 10 years from just when I was a kid.  Granted everyone thought we would have flying cars and holograms by now but we are halfway there.  I have seen crazy technology nowadays.  I was scrolling through Instagram one day and saw a fitness trainer to release a program that allows anyone around the world to train "with" her.  How? through a hologram!  I saw videos of people taking her workout class session by learning from and working out with her hologram.  I thought this was the craziest thing I had ever seen in my life.  I knew that it would happen someday but it was crazy to actually see it happen.  So many other new versions of technology like the Alexa and Google Home which do what you want them to do based on command, and Virtual reality to make it seem like the person is physically in the location they are looking at through virtual reality goggles/apps. 

Robots

So I feel like the topic surrounding robots is somewhat controversial.  I personally don't know how comfortable I feel with robots that were created to basically be superior to the human and have more power and intelligence.  The thought of sending off hundreds of those creations into the world scares me because of the power they will have.  We already have started developing them and videos have been released of ones that have been created.  One that comes to my mind is specifically "Sophia the robot" and I have seen videos of her speaking and moving and it is as if she is a human and it was chilling to see something that is all electronic and mechanics function in that way.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I personally am creeped out and scared at the thought of robots one-day outsmarting humans. 

Xerox Project

So using my phone for this surprised me on how well it worked.  I used a scanning app and I was so scared it wasn't going to be able to photograph my hands well enough for the project but I wasn't disappointed with the outcome.  I was inspired to do this because I was at work and talking with my coworker about our family tree and it made me come up with the idea of doing a "floating hand tree" to somewhat symbolize the roots of a family tree all coming together in unity in the family tree.

Flip Book Movie

This is my Flip Book video.  I wanted to use it as a friendly reminder to spread kindness and the flower is supposed to symbolize helping others grow into something beautiful!
