Subject: Is modernity over?
Written By: 2015 on 08/05/10 at 12:11 am
I've heard that the Modern age is now over and we live in the Postmodern. which is confusing, because when i think of "modern" i just think of like today. but i suppose it kind of makes sense. we almost live in a kind of future world now.

According to wikipedia ;D, postmodernity started around the 1950's or 1960's.
So modernity ended about the 1940's or 1950's.
