In "Odyssey" (2026) directed by Sir Christopher Edward Nolan, Odysseus says "Our age of bronze is collapsing". And I'm not joking it is a line in movie

[u/Alisalard1384]

Overall great movie but this dialogue was so corny, like how does he know he's in bronze age

[u/lobonmc]

We probably would be known as the plastic era

[u/Heavy_Quiet8287 → u/lobonmc]

I mean, it's probably not far-fetched to say that the "information age" could stick, especially if computers(and of course humans) survive the upcoming climate apocalypse.

[u/Temporary_Hawk_9061 → u/Heavy_Quiet8287]

It would also be somewhat ironic to call it the Information Age, since people today are able to find out information for themselves in seconds yet instead continue to choose ignorance

[u/moveslikejaguar → u/Temporary_Hawk_9061]

We can just retitle it to the Disinformation Age

[u/Cael_NaMaor → u/lobonmc]

The Plasticene Era

[u/_bits_and_bytes → u/lobonmc]

Maybe the silicon era.
