You can ask your smartphone.
Or you can ask what your smartphone doesn’t have a clue of.
Smartphone
Your smartphone will tell you what’s on the internet, that is what others say about modern times or what AI says about modern times — “modern times typically refers to the period after the late 19th century characterized by significant changes” — which they want you to believe is different but it’s the same thing, others talking about modern times. Makes you wonder what period modern times atypically refers to, doesn’t it?
What your smartphone doesn’t know
Your smartphone doesn’t know what the internet doesn’t know. Smartphones won’t tell you…
- That modern times are two words, like everything you have a word for and know.
- That modern times exist since the invention of words.
Talking of significant changes, the invention of words revolutionised evolution like no other invention BW (Before Words) — including the inventions of Earth, cells, plants, animals, eyes, and brains — or in the 13,750 years since.
The 100% word-based internet, invented 35 years ago, not only gobbles up and spits out all over the world more words faster than anything invented for that purpose in the 4.65 billion years before — the same internet that without the invention of words doesn’t exist.
As it is, when English was invented, Deepl hadn’t been invented and translators had been in short supply. So modern times, first written 500 years ago, is based on the Latin modo. Had translators not been in short supply, every English word-user would now know modo means now. Instead of that, we’re now talking without knowing what we’re talking about.
TAKEAWAY
I’m not saying the story of evolution should be told where stories are told, typically in schools — after all, storytelling is what schools are for.
All I’m saying is the story of evolution ought to be told in its entirety.
If that were the case, then the English word-user would now know there’s a BW (Before Words) and an AW (After Words) — without which evolution itself would now neither exist nor now be talked about.
