Postmodern Media Theory
Postmodernist theorists claim that this media-saturated world where we consume media 24/7 such as on the move, at work, or at home creates a distinction between reality and the media representation becoming blurred or even entirely invisible.
In other words, we are unable to differentiate between reality and media like the real world or simulation for example the introduction of the metaverse and VR headsets create an entirely different reality that is not real or can be compared to real-world as for now.
Therefore many people see this as a historical development and believe that media reality is a new reality while others think that postmodernism is just the new way of thinking about media as it was always been before and believe that it is possible it could simulate the reality to some extent but not all of it.
