Conclusion


The Postmodern era ended in 2278 when a massive nuclear warfare erupted between United States and Russia. Although technological advancements had supplied countries with enough fiscal and military resources for a mostly successful globalization of human rights, the two countries ultimately ended up declaring war on each other after disagreements on the death penalty. Warfare has become more devastating because of the invention of highly effective bombs that have come since the early 2100’s. World War Three wiped out a third of the global population; many have come to believe that technology is a double-edged sword. Artists began to feature grimy textures and grotesque figures in their digital paintings and many written works collectively adopted a more somber tone. Although technology was used to improve human rights, it was also used to bring all the hard work down overnight.
