You are right that culture is now fragmented but the statement also points to the fact that culture is no longer connected. I disagree with you in your assumption that we live in the most diverse, dynamic cultural period yet simply because the elements of culture are so limited and closed minded. Everything follows a rigid format so clearly defined and so clean that anything that strays outside of the format or dares to function off of raw intuition is marginalized and then swallowed up in our ocean of zeros and ones.

We live in a world where all the things that made past cultures magical are rendered nonexistent by our obsessive-compulsive sanitizing and streamlining. The information may be at our fingertips but let’s be honest about what the internet is used for- the masses use Internet culture for internet culture and not as an all encompassing encyclopedia of world culture.

There is no revolution in your description of culture as a kaleidoscope. What you’ve described is an orbit and revolution implies travel. The orbit always ends up repeating itself and never makes a revolution in the sense of freedom but only makes revolutions in the sense of revolving and looping and repeating forever and ever. That is all our culture of blogs, profiles, and file sharing will ever be able to do.
