According to Common Culture, pop culture is the most immediate and contemporary elements in our lives and offers a common ground for people in society. To me, pop culture is the newest and most popular thing in society that everyone is either doing, watching, or talking about.
Understanding pop culture is in important because it can help understand what people in society want. For example, advertising on online newspapers makes more sense than advertising in printed newspapers if the target audience is reading their paper online. It is very important to keep up with the newest technology especially in business so you can reach people by the most common means.
An example of a pop culture artifact is google. I chose it because I use google as a search engine for everything and it has become a popular term when discussing things that need to be looked up.
