I just wanted get you all’s opinions on what the music of the 2010’s will be. Every 10 years music seems to change I think this decades change will represent a HUGE change partly because it is natural as the first decade of the century that it will usher in a new type of music. I will express what i will think will happen to music during this decade below please tell me if you agree or disagree.
Firstly, I think that all that can be done on traditional instruments has been done for instance every riff you can play on a guitar has been played, every beat on a drumset has been done. I believe really this was realized in the late 80s/ early 90’s. Because of that people started incorporating computer generated sounds in music. Also, i believe that songs have been written about everything and because of this people will start to focus more on the sound the music makes instead of the singing rap was really the last unexplored area of singing and now it is started to follow the whole electronic computer generated sounds movement.
You can witness this by the music today Lady gaga, LMFAO, ke$ha, black eyed pea, and almost every genre have very heavy techno/electronic styled beats. I believe that this trend will continue for the next 1-2 years until the mainstream music will basically be eurotranceish. Kind of like the song raver’s fantasy styled music for the rest of the decade i believe this will be the music of choice. Keeping in mind that computers are now an integral part of our life( and will only get bigger) and the accessibility of programs to make this kind of music i think it is unavoidable that this eurotrance styled music will dominate the 2010’s. I can not see trance becoming completely mainstream yet because people still need that little bit of vocal performance in music but it will just be a back up to the melody.
I also think that big record companies are DONE(but of course everyone has known this for awhile) basically because the internet has made it capable for artists to mass distribute their own music very easily. I also think that their will be no big super stars like the lady gaga, lil wayne, and such today. Partly because the ability of so many people to put so much music out their will cause people to have so many different songs to choice from no one person will become to popular. I see musicians making money off becoming club styled DJ’s basically they will work for salary at clubs (which i think will become even bigger and more important to social function) making a decent amount, and because there will be so much music, it will become more regional, you can kind of see this with the whole west coast, south coast, east coast rap styles.
I think there will also be some sub-genres that reject this new computerized music and try to move music back to 50’s style rock or Early hip-hop/rap, these will not be the mainstream but i see them as kind of like a punk movement not mainstream but does have a following.
The main thing is that as technology will improve our lives we will seek to use it more and more in our music. The use of internet and all will allow us to have big gatherings making clubs very popular. The availability of making music will cause more people to become musicians resulting in a different means of distributing it and becoming more proud of the musicians in your area causing distinct regional styles.
I know this was long i was just brainstorming here what do you all think? My final guess that in the 2020’s Trance will be popular sort of like classical music of the new century the whole history runs in a cycle deal. Please tell me what you think and if you agree/disagree and why.

Maybe if you had the cognitive capacity to set the paragraphs off properly, somebody would be ineterested in reading it.

Asperger syndrome or Asperger’s syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, and people with it therefore show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.[1][2]

Asperger syndrome is named for the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy.[3] Fifty years later, it was standardized as a diagnosis, but many questions remain about aspects of the disorder.[4] For example, there is doubt about whether it is distinct from high-functioning autism (HFA);[5] partly because of this, its prevalence is not firmly established.[1] The diagnosis of Asperger’s has been proposed to be eliminated, replaced by a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder on a severity scale.[6]

The exact cause is unknown, although research supports the likelihood of a genetic basis; brain imaging techniques have not identified a clear common pathology.[1] There is no single treatment, and the effectiveness of particular interventions is supported by only limited data.[1] Intervention is aimed at improving symptoms and function. The mainstay of management is behavioral therapy, focusing on specific deficits to address poor communication skills, obsessive or repetitive routines, and physical clumsiness.[7] Most individuals improve over time, but difficulties with communication, social adjustment and independent living continue into adulthood.[4] Some researchers and people with Asperger’s have advocated a shift in attitudes toward the view that it is a difference, rather than a disability that must be treated or cured

I am looking for an Online support Group for Adults like myself who have this disorder that that is compeletly free.. My biggest problem it seems is that its not common in Females Please Help!

I’m an adult female with Asperger’s syndrome too. I think you might benefit from visiting the discussion forums at http://www.wrongplanet.net . Those are discussion forums for people with Asperger’s syndrome and other autism spectrum disorders. There are people of both genders and all ages there. There is, among other things, a forum just for women. I have found the Wrong Planet forums useful. They are not a typical support group, but you can still find support, information, tips and advice and get in contact with other adults who are in the same situation as you. The Wrong Planet forums are completely free.

Keeping the memory in good condition is a vital part of the brain’s function. In not only work, but all aspects of our lives, our actions greatly depend on a lot of information we retrieve from our memory bank. Such information can either be short term (such as specific tasks that we have to do) or long term (such as the ability to drive a car or repeat an instruction we read from a book). While long-term memory may come spontaneously without too much effort when the need arises, short-term memory requires recalling information from the accumulation of things stored in our memory. This is why you need to keep your memory in great shape to achieve efficiency in your daily endeavors:

1. Keep your attention focused on the needed information to be stored in your memory bank. Even with distractions around you, stay focused on the subject. The more concentrated you are on the information, the better the chances of retaining it in your memory.

2. Utilize the most ideal sense or senses when gathering the information. This what we call acuity in sensing our environment. Be aware of the color or details of a picture, or the particular sound or smell of the thing involved. All our bodily senses are attuned to collect information depending on the circumstance at hand. While our sense of vision may be the most used in gathering information, our senses of hearing, smell, taste, and touch are equally important and helpful in remembering things, situations, and information about something or someone.

3. When you’re not sure that the information you are about to remember would really be retained by your brain, it would be better to write the information. This could be proven effective especially in gathering very long and tedious information like lecture notes or a personal interview. Just be sure you don’t forget that you have a note at hand; and of course, don’t misplace the note.

4. Maintain a balance diet. A well-proportioned diet will result to a conditioned memory. Oily and sweet foods may cloud the memory. If you cannot completely eliminate a bad diet, gradually cut down your intake of these memory-inhibiting foods. Doing it gradually cushions the effect of withdrawal symptoms and you’ll get adjusted to the new lifestyle you are creating. This is not only beneficial to the memory, but we can say you’re on your way to a healthy life. Drinking lots of water brings lots of advantages to your overall health, and memory is not an exception.

5. Don’t deprive yourself with enough rest and sleep. Having enough sleep does not condone laziness; oversleeping does. So don’t feel guilty resting or sleeping as long as it is not overdone. You need it badly to keep you revitalized from the tiresome demand of work.

6. Take time to relax. Breathe deeply if you must. Keep your thoughts organized before acting on them. Keep away from stress and anxiety. It may be impossible to completely eliminate stress since it is part of our challenging generation, but try to keep it down as much as possible. Stress may bring your memory into its inefficient level. Avoid the habit of saying to yourself that you might forget things, because you’re more likely to if you do. This just builds your anxiety level up to its panic mode.

7. Stay positive, creative, and energetic. Your memory needs to be within a circle of various things. Things that come in various shapes, sizes, and colors can motivate your creativity. This is a positive way of discovering your surroundings in all its variations and diversities. Avoid being enclosed within the four walls of your room just like you’re a prisoner. The only time to be enclosed is when you have to rest or sleep. Don’t be a couch potato. There’s a very exciting world out there waiting to improve your memory.

The very best time to improve your memory is between infancy and adolescent. As we grow old, memory starts to fail. But a strong memory that we can develop during the prime years of our lives will definitely enhance us to be good thinkers. This can be done by continuously exercising our memory through reading and other cognitive activities like the habit of solving crossword puzzles. The more you do these, the better memory retention is developed.

As far as health is concerned, high blood pressure can lead to stroke and heart ailments. It also results to poor memory retention. Memory function declines when blood pressure is high. Researchers have observed that people with normal blood pressure, especially at midlife, have a higher cognitive function. Concentration, decision-making, and remembering functions falter as a result of high blood pressure. What is healthy for the body is likewise healthy for the memory.
