If we raise our sights and look around us, we see that the world is changing at a breakneck pace. Is it changing differently than it has always done?

Singular Times

This 30-minute documentary, filmed and edited in HDV high-definition format, reveals the depth of the transformations that are taking place today and their link to a new form of technology-based human communication, which signals a shift equally important as the advent of writing and the invention of the printing press. Contextualising the situation justifies the claim that we are at the dawning of the Second Modern Times.
