Postmodernism

I found both the readings on postmodernism to be a little confusing. It makes sense that they would be confusing because the contradictory clash of old traditions and modern values is inherently confusing. One question I have regarding the readings is about the difference between places like Disneyland and downtown LA. Were the writers saying that Disneyland is "real" and LA is not? Or were they saying that both places are not real? I was kind of confused about what they were trying to say about that. But I really liked the depiction of new age forms of communication. We see things like that all the time in everyday life but never really stop to think about the origins.
