| + | The Waste Land as a palimpsest—if the poem itself is a palimpsest, it is still, to this day, being written over and over again. We now have | ||
| + | even different kinds of media superimposing themselves on one another. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Of course, we now have the advantage of thus-far endless space for writing and information; however, I would not say that the palimpsest-esque effect is quite lost. Our tl;dr culture may have limitless archives of information available, but we use such a small percentage of it all that the effect is still similar—the reader/observer/listener/audience is left with a scattering of images and impressions rather than a seamless whole. While the information is all present, the intake is still nearly as fragmented as it was when information was legitimately missing. | ||
