In my business environment, popular culture could involve the latest technology to make the business environment more efficient. Today, at work I experimented with the latest Live Meeting link which helps save travel expenses by displaying powerpoint presentations directly from my computer to someone’s in another city. In my husband’s candy business, the sales of the latest fad candy increase with popularity.
An example of a pop culture artifact is Croc shoes. Although I don’t own a pair, I chose it because they appeal to a wide variety of the population. I have seen children and men and women all ages wearing them. The woman who invented Jibbitz, the decorations for the shoes, is making a lot of money because of their popularity. Croc shoes qualify as an artifact because of their unique current popularity. I think they will be out of style soon and we’ll see them on “That 2000’s Show” (vs That 70’s Show).

I think the Crocs are a great example of an artifact! They have become quite popular over the last few years. Most people know what they are regardless if they own a pair! I know you said you don't own any, let me just say that they really are comfortable!

I'll second that. My family has many pairs, and they are very comfortable. Good job on you post, very informative.
I don't own a pair of Crocs but I know many people who do and sometimes they are not all that. I know quite a few kids who's foot or toes have had some nasty looking blisters and sores on them. The only information I get from this is not to even try them.
