Space Age: 20th-21st Century

Perhaps this is the Information Age or the Atomic Age… What can be said for sure is that man has and is embarking on fantastic things. Expectations and demand has moved passed efficiency and onto speed depth. This age offers stem-cells, gay marriage, and biological warfare. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way . . .” --Charles Dickens, A Tale Of Two Cities

2. I got 29th century too
but, to narrow it down a bit, I was meant to be a sixties hippie living in a commune. Instead, I'm a hippie living in a commune in the 21st century. Not too bad, actually.

4. Modern Age: 18th-19th Century
Modern Age: 18th-19th Century

Science, medicine, entertainment, technology, culture, etc., are all priorities found in the modern age. This time period can be marked as the dawning of human establishment. Efficiency and advancement defines this age. “The concept of the modern world is distinct from an ancient or mediaeval world rests on a sense that the modern world is not just another era in history, but rather the result of a new type of change. This is usually conceived of as progress driven by deliberate human efforts to better their situation.” –Wikipedia

10. Middle Age: 9th-13th Century
Middle Age: 9th-13th Century

Throughout these mediaeval times, great steps were taken. This is not a period to be looked down upon but a period to be understood in context. "The Middle Ages is an unfortunate term. It was not invented until the age was long past. The dwellers in the Middle Ages would not have recognized it. They did not know that they were living in the middle; they thought, quite rightly, that they were time's latest achievement."—Morris Bishop, The Middle Ages (1968)


Not what I would've thought at all :shrug:

15. And then there's that awesome
smell of raw sewage running down the middle of the street!

They did not know that they were living in the middle; they thought, quite rightly, that they were time's latest achievement."—Morris Bishop, The Middle Ages (1968)

everybody has lived in a modern age. It's only after they're dead that it becomes history.

19. Early Modern Age: 14-17th Century
Early Modern Age: 14th-17th Century

Falling between the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution, this time period offers further advancement for man. Sciences are now being considered and pursued. Global powers and beliefs are constantly shifting. Political and religious revolutions define this era. “Modern history professes to deal with mankind in a period when they had reached the stage of civilization which is in its broad outlines familiar to us, during the period in which the problems that still occupy us came into conscious recognition, and were dealt with in ways intelligible to us as resembling our own.” – Right Rev. MANDELL CREIGHTON, D.D., Bishop of London

Dark Age: 8th Century & before

This simply refers to the relative lack of written record, "silent" as much as "dark." A time of backwardness when people acted more primitively. "My fate is to live among varied and confusing storms. But for you perhaps, if as I hope and wish you will live long after me, there will follow a better age. When the darkness has been dispersed, our descendants can come again in the former pure radiance."—Petrarch
