Nemo, Jameson - Make Up

The quote that I understood the most in this reading was "depth is replaced by surface". To me this quote shows how our culture had moved from needing to know every single remote detail to only wanting to know the gist of something. We only see things as they appear, we no longer look for the underlying meaning of something. No one wants to explore what is underneath the surface and enjoy the full experience, instead they want to just take a short cut and get some kind of experience. This is an example of how our society has become so obsessed with bigger is better and the only way you can reach that is by going quickly. Society just wants the best end results with the least amount of work as possible. Another quote if found interesting was "THe end of style, in the sense of the unique and the personal". To me this meant that style is no longer an accurate reflection of ourselves, but rather a refection of the popular style at the time.
