Week 2 - Cobb Chapter 2

I found Cobb's indepth look at hyperreality as enlightening. The fact that we do like the false, hyped up reality instead of the real thing only means that there will be a growing demand for simple reality. All the technology and hype attached to and enhancing reality into complete fabrication will eventually lead to a popular desire to strip those things out of reality. I am not saying that we will do away with TV's, theme parks, movies and computers. However, I think eventually simple and true experiences will become the fashionable thing to do. In the same way, "going camping" is a mostly 20th century phenom because we romanticized the simple adventures of pioneers and explorers of yesterday. I think people in the Western Church are going to become more intune with this simplification sentiment and begin to want more of an organic, intimate, less hyped up version of church.
