Next step of pop music & pop culture era?

When you now listen to the music of The Beatles or Deep Purple, oh man! The sound!
It sounds so old!


Well, people say it's the sound of nostalgia.
(By the way, in my opinion, the Led Zeppelin sounds still not bad.)

Then there was a MIT graduated electrical engineer who formed the Boston, where they kind of revolutionised the sound of pop recording.


So far the 60's and 70's rock musics.

Then came the Michael Jackson and Madonna with some visuals, dancings and music videos.


Now there's someone like Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas (I love them!),


but, I don't think it's the next step of pop music and pop culture era.

Then what will be the next era of pop music and pop culture?
Of course, I believe in software. And the power of imagination.
I think the next step will be with strong introduction of interactive form of software.
Of course I'm not talking about any softwares that needs to be installed.
It will be with something like the HTML5!

As like this amazing HTML5 music video!



With the introduction of the Google TV, those form of new era of interactive pop music consumption and pop culture is right in front of us coming as the main era of pop culture consumption, I think.
Or maybe some cool whole new 3D sound device will be invented and the music will change according to that.

About whole this idea of the next step of the music evolution, David Byrne has made a nice presentation at TED talk, relating the evolution of music to the sound of birds, that they both tend to match to their surrounding circumstances and environments:
