Reseaching 80's Life!

I began to research on the computer in English class. All i did was go to Google and type in "80's influences". A whole bunch of websites came up, I clicked the first one which led me to all the influences which the 80's had on today's generation. The site had everything to 80's music artists to television personalities of the 80's.
I learned that Madonna and Michael Jackson were two of the most influential and successful music artists of the 80's. Madonna gave women reasons to express their sexuality and to empower women. Madonna once said, "Just because you are strong doesn't make you a bitch or a slut, and if people call you that, so what?" Madonna made it possible for women solo artists today to be sexy, such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilar. Michael Jackson also was a big influence on today's male solo artists to dance your heart out, such as Usher, Chris Brown and many others.
Television personalities of the 80's made a huge impact on today's sitcoms. You could still see Bill Cosby on Nick At Night. The Bill Cosby made it possible for family comedy shows today. "My Wife and Kids" is a popular comedic family sitcom which could relate to The Cosby Show in many ways. Molly Ringwald was one of my FAVORITE teenage stars of the 80's. I own 16 Candles and Pretty In Pink. Molly Ringwald showed the feelings teenage girls go through when they mature and go through puberty which every girl can relate to.
I'm currently looking for some more information on the 80's life. I plan on interviewing some people in my English class on their perspectives of the 80's influences.
