Postmodern describes an approach to culture which sees all texts as being intertextual, and meaning as mediated rather than representative of a state of original reality. Postmodernists believe that its no longer sensible to describe media texts in terms of how they represent real life or events, and that instead we should see reality as increasingly mediated, so the boundaries between reality and media- reality are blurred. A good example of postmodern is Disneyland as its a blurring of reality and simulation.

I think You Tube is the best example of Web 2.0 because it was set up for people to create their own media product for other people to watch. Social networking sites are also examples of Web 2.0 because it allows you to create your own web page.
