Every few years or decades however events may be perceived you may come to the assumption that a certain type of age has been entered into
may it be a golden age the digital age or space age.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodizationhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_periodsOfficial Ages have also been recorded as generally being agreed that they can accurately reflect a certain time period for example the middle ages.
The Greek Mythology ages are the most common terms and we are currently in the Iron Age
Golden Age,
Silver Age,
Bronze Age,
Heroic Age,
Iron Age,

Why did we skip the paper age well that should be self explanatory
