Modern Era

How do you find those videos? Are they your collection? It's great.

Interesting question. But yes, I imagine each era - or rather the people of each era - see(s) it/themselves as modern, up to date. Certainly our own era, the 2010s (or Tennies) seesm very modern to me. Although in the future, it won't; it'll be an ancient era. You mention the 20s; they were seen at the time as incredibly modern, and were marked by revolutionary changes in terms of arts; fashion and so on. The First World War has just ended, and certain privileged young people in cities such as London; Berlin; Paris; New York &c. went on something of a spree to a Jazz Soundtrack (think the Charleston; the Flapper; the Bright Young People; the Jazz Age; F Scott Fitzgerald). Women bobbed their hair; and clothes for me were I think it's fair to say conspicuously "modern"; and perhaps far simpler than they'd been in previous more formal eras. Many see the 60s as similar to the 20s in so far as they were marked by revolutionary changes; and great hedonism among certain sections of youth, most specifically in London which could be said to have become the world epicentre of the Modern Impulse. For there has been such a thing as a Modern Impulse, or Modernism, according to many, and this has been existence...well it depends on who you're talking to: some say since the Enlightenment (the 18th Century); or even earlier. Others since the end of the 19th Century, say about 1880. Modernism could be said to be a kind of explosion of the avant-garde on a large scale, a drive towards the modern in all things. Highly marked during the 20s; the 60s (and also before them the 1890s). So what now? Is it still possible to be "modern"? yes, of course. Especially in the fields of science and technology. But what of the arts? That's perhaps harder: artistic originality could be said to be hard to come by today; which is why there are those who speak of a Post-Modern age in which the absolutely modern is no longer possible, as if the Modern Impulse has exhausted itself. Perhaps it will renew itself in times to come, for after all, in Ecclesiastes 1:9, the Word of God states: "The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."

Modern means present I think so! or you can call sophisticated!..Ease at which things can be done can be termed modern as well..But yes every generation feels they are modern initially, but in their later years start to feel they are outdated lol!

Every decade is a new modern era as things change. In the 90's things were much different then they are now, and even in the 20's they are much different. Back in 1920 it was HECK of a lot different. Those living in the era accept what they have because it is new to them, new and exciting and a way to improve life.

Yes the people live and feel in their own "modern" era, and I think that's always be same along the human history..

if you compare those eras: the old and new generations, there are lot of differences especially in the way of living and the way the things was formed .. and now this modern days, we must thankful to those people who civilize our world on what we are experiencing right now..

A modern life is the current life we live in as compared to the life we used to live in like a decade ago, it also means what we perceive life in the future would be. But eventually it doesn't turn out the way we think it would.

To me , modern era means having the most modern means of doing things such as the washing machine, dish washer, vacuum cleaner , rice cooker, microwave oven and modern gadgets such as the laptop, pc tablets and cellphones. Having them would mean lesser effort in doing things and you have more time to relax.
