According to academia, “modern” means “the 1920s”, “new” means “circa 1996”, and the “future” is what people sixty years ago thought the year 2000 would look like. What word can I use to describe stuff that’s happening now?
Double future
post-post-postmodern: the sequel
Postmodern II: Postmoderner
2 Post 2 Modern
Postmodern: Director’s Cut
Postmod3rn: The Revenge
Postmodern: Nouveau Drift
So in college I used to work in the Visual Resources Collection of the university– in short, the slide collection. Slides for lectures, mostly. Even when I was there, digital was new but acknowledged. We knew we were going to have to digitize, and we had no idea how it was going to happen or what would become of us.
But we also knew we had to do something about our classification system, which had “modern”, and “postmodern”, and then an enormous chaos of things since 1960.
I have actually never put any of my slide-handling skills on my resume but weirdly, they’ve been applicable in other jobs.
