After-postmodern Watch

     Watchmaking was a very interesting activity for centuries. It was a special kind of art and a technical ability.

     The now old watch worked with the “fingers energy”.

     The postmodern watch became something that needed a “battery”.

     In human progress and evolution, many times we lose something to get something.

   The change from fingers to battery was progress by one side, but a continuous expense for battery production by other side. 

    At the same time, we lost the tic tac sound and that old contact with the watchmaker.

    In after-postmodern times it does not seem that the old watch will make a comeback.

     At same time we have other “watches”, computerized watches, mobile watches…

     Maybe even the time changed, not just the times…

    We live in transitional times, and we are still learning to deal with a new time in new times…

After-postmodern Rescue

The Thai Rescue can be a sign, a symbol, an example of a new kind of “globalization”.

In the end of the 20^th Century, the end of postmodern era, the word “globalization” acquired an ambiguous meaning, some ambiguous hermeneutics.  

It was understood as something “not so good” when used in the economic sense.

Nowadays we have “new globalizations”: in the media, in the web, and even in human gestures.

It seems that the after-postmodern globalization is becoming a “humanized” globalization…
