The best definition that I have found for the popular culture is that:
“the types of entertainment that most people in a society enjoy, for example films, television programmes, and popular music”
Reference link
Looking on above definition we can say that all the practices of a particular culture for the beneficial and enjoyment purposes are parts of popular culture.
The advance technology development is due to the result of popular culture. There are many examples from TV to film, from film to video game and mobile phone specially iphone etc.
Technology plays one of the most important roles in our popular culture and the most important examples are the one that deal with computers.
And a lot of remediation’s in the field of advance technologies are the result of popular culture as well.
The technology that I want to discuss here is the Video game culture which can be the remediation to film culture. Most of the popular games are now the result of films. Film itself is one aspect of popular culture and we can also say the characters that are in the games are also part of the popular culture.
Due to the outstanding improvement in computers and video games businesses, popular culture becomes more dependent to these advance technologies. Computer and video games played a significance role upon popular culture and they have important impacts in television, popular music, and films.
The example that I have found is the video on youtube which shows how Matrix game relates to the Matrix film. Games can play the role of immediacy where the audience will become the character of the story and feel themselves in a second life. As I used the word second life so there will be important to give example of second life website which is making business due to its effect on popular culture.
