There were many epochs in the annals of the existence of the Earth, there were that prehistoric times, the times of the existence of the Earth where there were no records of what exactly happened as to the development of the world like the Ice Age, Stone Age, the existence of the dinosaurs, etc.
All of the recorded eras of the world already fall on the historic times like the biblical times, the Medieval times, the Renaissance, and the modern era. These epochs of times were properly recorded as we can read in the history books.
Modern times started when engines and machines were invented in the name of progress. As the rolling of the years goes by the world became more modern as the computer era came in. Everything anyone wants to know can simply be found on the internet in the computer age. No one has to go to the library anymore since anything can simply be browsed on a computer or a gadget.
These development has progressed a lot and went beyond as any normal human want to develop it. The new generation is depending too much on this new technology to the extent of not investigating what they can grasp from the internet.
Is this now a new epoch or era of the world? Relying too much on what's circulating on the internet even not true and without investigation is I believe another page in the time of the world. Believing too much on the news invented by sham people is part of that era beyond modernity which I would call POSTMODERNISM.
The Filipino people are clearly living in POSTMODERNISM, you just imagine they would simply believe in the lies and the innuendos of the big political people for them to look good to the extent of rewriting and revising Philippine History. You can simply observe many Filipino people believing the big whigs of the government by spreading lies on the internet against the ones opposing it. The people are now relying more on the information wrongly fed to them by hugging and grasping it without using critical thinking. Clearly, the Philippines and probably the world are now under the age of POSTMODERNISM.
