"Post-modernism has cut off the present from all futures. The daily media add to this by cutting off the past. Which means that critical opinion is often orphaned in the present"

John Berger's quote recommends that post-modernism has created a separate between today and the future, while the media has triggered a separate in between the present and also the past. This detach has caused essential point of view being separated in the present, without the advantage of either the previous or the future. This absence of context can bring about an absence of understanding of today, as it is not seen in the context of either the previous or the future. This can cause a lack of understanding of the here and now, in addition to a lack of insight right into exactly how today could establish in the future. This can bring about a lack of foresight as well as an inability to plan for the future.
