modern times
Modern times, also known as the modern era or modern period, typically refers to the time frame after the Middle Ages up to the present. It encompasses significant historical, social, and cultural changes, including the Renaissance, Enlightenment, Industrial Revolution, and the advent of digital technology, among other things. This period is typically characterized by a shift from traditional, rural, agrarian societies to more urban, industrialized ones, and a move towards secularization, democracy, and increased reliance on reason, science, and technology. The exact starting point of modern times can vary among historians, but it generally refers to a period that started anywhere from the 15th to the 18th centuries and continues today.
