Modern society has created symbols and signs to represent aspects of reality, but in no way has replaced that reality, nor created a symbol or sign for every aspect. Simply put, there are aspects of reality that are far too abstract to put into words, let alone create a replacement for with something as simple as a symbol or sign.
Therefore, the human experience remains reality, although many choose not to believe so and instead dilute their existence through simulations such as religion or even World of Warcraft.
Culture and media have created and broadcasted their perception of realites in many different areas in many different forms, yet they have limited range and there is more than one epicenter.
If you feel you have lost contact with the real world on which the simulacra were once based, then open your fuckin' eyes.
