I would claim that the categorical system that Hershman uses to classify her work resonates with society today quite well. The world, in general, are moving more and more towards what Hershman calls “ A.D. (After Digital).” If you take a look at different aspects of culture today, you can see the interactivity being worked in, along with the integration of digital technology.
If you are looking for a perfect example, look into the area of visual entertainment. The Nintendo Wii is a game console that put the user in the role of the character on the screen. The remote control responds to movements of the user, and translates them onto the screen in the form of character movements and actions. Watching a movies in your own home has also become an interactive experience. Surround sound is meant to put the viewers in the middle of all the actions, hearing effects and sounds in their own home in the same location as the actor on the screen.
Clearly, the aspects of Hershman's work are becoming more and more evident in today's society as the viewer become immersed in the form of art or technology.
