O que aconteceu no ano em que nasci 1977

Entre no site: http://whathappenedinmybirthyear.com/ e descubra o que aconteceu no seu ano ..

In 1977, the world was a different place.

There was no Google yet. Or Yahoo. Or Ow.ly, for that matter.

In 1977, the year of your birth, the top selling movie was Star Wars. People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster.

Remember, that was before there were DVDs. People were indeed watching movies in the cinema, and not downloading them online. Imagine the packed seats, the laughter, the excitement, the novelty. And mostly all of that without 3D computer effects.

Do you know who won the Oscars that year? The academy award for the best movie went to Annie Hall. The Oscar for best foreign movie that year went to Madame Rosa. The top actor was Richard Dreyfuss for his role as Elliot Garfield in The Goodbye Girl. The top actress was Diane Keaton for her role as Annie Hall in Annie Hall. The best director? Woody Allen for Annie Hall.

In the year 1977, the time when you arrived on this planet, books were still popularly read on paper, not on digital devices. Trees were felled to get the word out. The number one US bestseller of the time was The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien and Christopher Tolkien. Oh, that's many years ago. Have you read that book? Have you heard of it? Look at the cover!

In 1977... the world's first personal computer, the Commodore PET, is demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago. Apple Computer Inc is incorporated. German Federal Prosecutor Siegfried Buback and his driver are shot by 2 Red Army Faction members while waiting at a red light near his home in Karlsruhe. The "Ulrike Meinhof Commando" later claims responsibility. Optical fiber is first used to carry live telephone traffic. Led Zeppelin plays their last U.S. concert in Oakland, California. Voyager 1 is launched after a brief delay. The last natural smallpox case is discovered in Merca district, Somalia. The Nickelodeon Television Channel, a children's cartoon channel, launches as The Pinwheel Network. The video game of the day was Light Tennis.

That was the world you were born into. Since then, you and others have changed it.

The Nobel prize for Literature that year went to Vicente Aleixandre. The Nobel Peace prize went to Amnesty International. The Nobel prize for physics went to Philip Warren Anderson, Nevill Francis Mott and John Hasbrouck Van Vleck from the United States and the United Kingdom for their fundamental theoretical investigations of the electronic structure of magnetic and disordered systems. The sensation this created was big. But it didn't stop the planets from spinning, on and on, year by year. Years in which you would grow bigger, older, smarter, and, if you were lucky, sometimes wiser. Years in which you also lost some things. Possessions got misplaced. Memories faded. Friends parted ways. The best friends, you tried to hold on. This is what counts in life, isn't it?

The 1970s were indeed a special decade. Women's liberation continued. The hippie culture faded. There was an opposition to the Vietnam war, and nuclear weapons. The environmentalist movement began. Tom Wolfe coined the decade the "Me decade" due to a new self-awareness. Mao Zedong died and the market began to liberate in China. There was an oil crisis. After the first oil shock, gasoline was rationed in many countries. In Eastern Europe, Soviet-style command economies begin showing signs of stagnation. The Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, witness the kidnapping and murder of Israeli athletes by Palestinian Arab terrorists. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. The Who, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Bee Gees, Abba and others play their music. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all die at the age of 27. The space mission Apollo 13 nearly ends in disaster. Egypt signed the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. There was a revolution in Iran. The world sees its first general microprocessor. The C programming language makes its debut. Consumer video games show up on the scene. Microwave ovens become commercially available. Margaret Thatcher was victorious in the UK elections.

Do you remember the movie that was all the rage when you were 15? Basic Instinct. Do you still remember the songs playing on the radio when you were 15? Maybe it was Save the Best for Last by Vanessa Williams. Were you in love? Who were you in love with, do you remember?

In 1977, 15 years earlier, a long time ago, the year when you were born, the song Don't Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston topped the US charts. Do you know the lyrics? Do you know the tune? Sing along.

Um-hm-hm... aah ah ah...
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, can't stay alive
Without your love, oh baby
Don't leave me this way, no
I can't exist, I'll surely miss your tender kiss
Don't leave me this way
...

There's a kid outside, shouting, playing. It doesn't care about time. It doesn't know about time. It shouts and it plays and thinks time is forever. You were once that kid.

When you were 9, the movie Labyrinth was playing. When you were 8, there was BMX Bandits. When you were 7, there was a Disney movie out called The Black Cauldron. Does this ring a bell?

6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... it's 1977. There's TV noise coming from the second floor. Someone turned up the volume way too high. The sun is burning from above. These were different times. The show playing on TV is Roots. The sun goes down. Someone switches channels. There's Saturday Night Live on now. That's the world you were born in.

Progress, year after year. Do you wonder where the world is heading towards? The technology available today would have blown your mind in 1977. Do you know what was invented in the year you were born? The Personal Stereo. The Mobile Phone.

In 1977
I hope I go to Heaven
'Cause I been too long on the dole
And I can't work at all
...

That's from the song 1977 by The Clash.

In 1977, a new character entered the world of comic books: Spider Woman. Bang! Boom! But that's just fiction, right? In the real world, in 1977, Orlando Bloom was born. And Sarah Michelle Gellar. Edward Furlong, too. And you, of course. Everyone an individual. Everyone special. Everyone taking a different path through life.
It's 2010.

The world is a different place.

What path have you taken?

Meu Home Studio - para quem quiser saber como gravo:

Muita gente tem perguntado como é o meu home studio
Resolvi montar um mapa para terem ideia para quem tiver vontade de montar um.
Não é caro! Somente precisa saber escolher os intrumentos certos.

Amor de um ninja - Les Dangereux



Foi pensando nisso que o californiano Daniel Klug criou a animação, Les Dangereux. que conta a história de um Ninja, em Paris, que e se apaixona desesperadamente mas, por sua paixão ser também uma Ninja, o acesso a ela é um pouco, digamos, difícil. Cenas de lutas com slow motion em movimentos rápidos fazem a animação ficar extremamente cinematográfica.

Se quiser saber mais sobre a animação é só acessar ao lesdangereux.com

Vale a pena mesmo.
