I’m not sure who you are, or why I’m here… but I like you. I hope to hear more on the depressing state of our generation and the decline to a lesser (in my opinion) culture. I mean why should I apologise for valuing Dorian Gray over facebook? Bookmarked.

You know GenX says the same thing about us, right? When the photograph became viable it was supposed to be the end of painting and therefore the end of art. Much of the time, art is created around technology, technology doesn’t kill art. The whole point of postmodernism is that nothing is the last anything, everything is recycled, we have every technological resource that the present has been built on and then some. Sure, a lot of people abuse it, like many Facebookers, but there are just as many “real artists” working with it, as well. Look no further than Roger Bebe at UF, he uses antiquated and state-of-the-art technology, often in the same film, and makes amazing art. The emergence of Twitterature doesn’t signal the end of literature, it just adds one more tool to the postmodern box–it’s just a rather useless tool, is all. Useless tool may be an oxymoron. The end.

The last generation is still in danger of disappointing themselves, though.

You should definitely keep up with this Eric, it’s very entertaining. It’s sad that kids know how to text at an age when I didn’t even know what a cell phone was, and that relationships aren’t considered real unless facebook says so. I never really thought of us as being the “Last Generation” but it definitely makes sense.
