In relation to feminism and how women have changed over the noughties; they have become more self-aware to an extreme in terms of dieting, surgery, botox. Some influential people include Katie Price (a.k.a Jordon), known for her cup size due to extensive plastic surgery. Tabloid newspapers began to indulge in celebrity couples and the WAG (wives and girlfriends of sportsmen) appeared; suddenly, women had a new lifestyle to idealise.
Technology has changed dramatically in the last decade, we now have faster broadband, high-tech gadgets, iphones, apps, macs, ipods, ipads; with the emphasis on interactivity and user access. But is it always guaranteed? And should it be relying upon? In some circumstances it could be doing more harm than good.
Then there was the development and discovery of social networking. A new and exciting method of keeping in touch with old friends, colleagues and relatives around the globe. It also became a tool for those looking for contacts and to promote themselves, ie. if you were a musician. MySpace allowed for unsigned artists to upload their songs and share their talents to the rest of the world. However, the internet also allowed music to be available so freely that it damaged the industry and has shaped the way we view music today.
