The internet just celebrated its 25th birthday and since I’m just a couple years older I have fond memories of how it slowly crept into my school life then my social life. I find my generation to be a mixed bag of those who integrate their lives full force into the internet, those who don’t and the range of us who fall in-between.
The internet is definitely changing our lives in how we interact… and doing it rather quickly. I would put myself into that in-between category, I’m comfortably active in a few social networks and I have my own website and blog. But I’m also really behind technologically speaking, which is why I enjoy having a nerdy husband who lovingly rolls his eyes when I don’t understand some meme or thread on reddit.
#PostModem is a comedic satire by Jillian Mayer and Lucas Leyva based on the post-human theories of converting your consciousness into a digital form.
