Really 2012 has not been that year of crisis that people have been talking about. Our climate and weather systems had been whacked out, but I don't think it has to do anything with planet alignments or the polar shift or anything like that. It looks like there is a weather pattern that is causing a lot of heat and it is most likely not caused by global warming - another part of the world is experiencing intense cold.
2012 look like it is a year of transition - it is a year of change. 2011 was a year that everything started to fall apart but it looks like there is hope when 2012 is coming along. 2010 and 2011 were in general better for pop culture, along with 2009, since this is when the internet was starting to be an influence of pop culture. The internet was some "geek phonemonon" for many years, but now the internet in this decade, especially YouTube is starting to influence pop culture and we are starting to get some "internet stars" ever since 2009 such as iJustine and Shane Dawson. Smartphones are starting to become more mainstream and are not being the "rich people" toy - almost everyone is getting access to a Smartphone and the smartphone might be actually the standard cell phones, making traditional cell phones for old people such as The Jitterbug.
Throughout this decade, you are not seeing as much of a divide with digital technology. Almost everyone is adapted to the digital world in some shape or form, but you also have digital for old people and digital for younger people. I am not sure what the digital for young people, but the social networking and Web 2.0 has starting to become the establishment and many people, especially older people are catching up with digital technology faster than the younger people.
But I am seeing some intense change when we are going through 2012 and we might be in a more change in our attitudes. It looks like we are getting a lot more group minded and we are getting a lot more conformist than we used to. The individualism is starting to die out and conformity is going to come back. It seems like we are going back to values and traditions -especially with the younger generations of teenagers and children. The '50s family values are going to come back which will make "hooking up" so not cool and animalistic. TV has changed a lot from not allowing a couple to sleep together in bed in 1950 to nearly having a barbie doll affect with the boobs in 2009. Profanity and the "fuzz" is starting to die out after 2010, but we are still starting to have a lot of reality TV. Reality TV is going to get cheesy and it is going to get boring - who wants reality TV if you want to have a more fantasy, scripted TV with a plot and a storyline. A lot of TV shows have become cheesy and boring, and you are showing shows that nobody can relate to. I personally want a plot that I can relate to, and right now, the only good shows are The Simpsons, Family Guy, and King of the Hill, which does have plots you can relate to. The Foximation is even starting to go downhill with Bobs Burgers and Napoleon Dynamite.
But I can see a change and that could be seen with teenage girl wears dresses, which is very beautiful and attractive. I haven't ever seen a teenage girl wear a dress out of casual wear and this is getting very common. We can see lots of beautiful fashion and music starting to come out.
I really don't know what the change is going to be in 2012 but I have a feeling it is going to be better.
