Hypermodernity

Hypermodernity (or supermodernity) is a type, mode, or stage of society that reflects an inversion of modernity. Hypermodernism stipulates a world in which the object has been replaced by its own attributes. The new attribute-driven world is driven by the rise of technology and aspires to a convergence between technology and biology and more importantly information and matter. Hypermodernism finds its validation in emphasis on the value of new technology to overcome natural limitations. It rejects essentialism and instead favours postmodernism. In hypermodernism the function of an object has its reference point in the form of an object rather than function being the reference point for form. In other words, it describes an epoch in which teleological meaning is reversed from the standpoint of functionalism in favor of constructivism.

==Hypermodernity== Hypermodernity emphasizes a hyperbolic separation between past and present because: The past oriented attributes and their functions around objects. Objects that do exist in the present are only extant due to some useful attribute in the hypermodern era.
