Well to start off, the video we saw in class on Friday was very interesting. Although the video was just based on facts it was still an eye opener to the reality of this "post post-modernism" view. The article by Alan Kirby is a further detail of this perception that human knowledge may exceed to the extremity if uncontrollable measures. For instance after watching the video, I got idea of this evil view that we Americans bring upon ourselves. We know far more than even twenty years ago could only dream of knowing. Our world is industrializing itself to the point where things of concrete manner will exceed to know more than we could ever learn or discover. Because humans have the ability to discover the many wonders among our people we our taking advantage of our own ability, knowledge and the way we think will soon become what we once thought. The scary thing about this idea that the video provides o's that the video is merely facts, all it is telling us is things that are actually happening in this world and how it compares to the way the world once work and the way we reacted to what we knew. The article however provides a view of a "psuedo modernism" view. In kirby's article, he states, "the Internet and it's use define and dominate psuedo modernism, the new era has also seen the revamping of older forms along it's lines." this is explaining that we are making better what we already know. For example, this view is explaining the phenomenon that we make better what we see as important. Our knowledge can be perceived as evil because we our not using it for beneficial circumstances but to outsmart the way we think today which will ultimately weaken our society when this new world once begins to exist. I think this view is very interesting and the idea of this post postmodernism or as Alan Kirby says pseudo modernism is ultimately an explanation to why we make our exceeding knowledge to discover unecessary and concrete ideas exceptional.
