For Baudrillard, postmodernism meant: Civilisation has passed its boiling point; from now on, it will grow colder. It marks time, and many things will occur, but nothing will happen anymore. Events will not take place anymore, and if they do, then just as an on-screen simulation.
Seems that Baudrillard was a kind of prophet as well. Der Spiegel even manages to establish a connection with the inevitable Second Life. Let's hope that Mario Sixtus is right.
