Proper post(s) later (perhaps), but, yes... this is an important topic. The palpable sense that society is moving in a particular direction (forwards) that was so characteristic of the bulk of the 20th century (and to which Modernism was basically 'just' a cultural and artistic expression) has gone completely. In fact it's gone so completely that people often need to be reminded that it was even ever there.

And, of course, Modernism is something that happened in the past, which says everything. As does the fact that the very idea of Modernisation as a historical process is now widely understood to be wrong (as proven by the Iranian Revolution, one of the most important events of the 20th century for that very reason).
