Question

Would you call today's world of computers, smart phones, and social media a renaissance? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Renaissance definition:

1. "the revival of art and literature under the influence of classical models in the 14th–16th centuries"
2. "a revival of or renewed interest in something renaissance.

I would not call the tech of today a renaissance because the renaissance was something ancient from about 60 centuries before we were born and I believe that simply thinking that technology or iPhones or an iPad could be called a reaissance, is an insult to the people of the Middle Ages.
