We talk about the Stone Age, Iron Age, etc., identifying the people who lived at those times with their artifacts. We believed for several decades that we lived in the Atomic Age, but that seems to have passed as we've sought ways to fight each other without atom bombs, and ways to generate power without atomic reactions. It's going to be tough to replace "Atomic Age," though, because the ages are changing so rapidly now. The Stone Age lasted tens of thousand of years, but our ages last barely decades. We left the Phonograph Age to become the Magnetic Tape Age and then the CD age. We left the Film Age for the VCR Age and then the DVD Age. Right this second we're clearly in the Internet, or "Digital" age.
Be that as it may, sometimes I don't feel like living in an "age." How about just living definition free, at least for periods of time?
