Cultural changes from the past to the future

The descriptions of the 1950s in the minds of young people today are viewed as the old way of life. We view things today as the new, beneficial way of life, but do we know what we were missing during the time our parents were young. In the readings, they speak of how art was viewed as a group experience and not just personal things that comes from inside you. When my Dad talks about things he did when he was younger, like listen to music with his friends or play baseball everyday for fun, that was his art. He surrounded himself with people and shared their talents together. Today it seems like everyone wants art to themselves and share it with no one. Artists, athletes, musicians, etc. all want to keep their greatness inside and only reveal it when it counts. We might have advanced technology these days to get things done faster, but are we missing out on the opinions of others all around the world. In, the 1950s and 1960s, people used to listen to other people on the radio and in newspapers together and gather an over all fact of what the world was, but today, we want nothing to do with the opinions that might one day make us better. Our culture might have changed technologically, but it might not have been for the good because the world is becoming more and more personal to everyone.
