I've always wondered if we are slowly starting to enter or that we are in a new historical era. The contemporary period, which is our current historical period, started in 1914 and a lot of things has happened in the meantime like a growing cultural presence, the technology advancing like crazy, the nuclear power that makes its appearance, etc.

Do you think that we are living in another epoch or that we are still in the contemporary period?

the invention of the internet alone makes a new historical period reasonable imo

I rather call the epoch the digital epoch, because we're rather mostly focusing on computer and technology nowadays.
