1. Prehistoric Age
2. Stone Age People live in caves, and are hunter gatherers
3. Copper Age People live in huts and are early farmers
4. Bronze Age People have bronze weapons and armour - eg. Ancient Greeks
5. Iron Age People have mastered the use of iron - eg. Vikings, Romans
6. Feudal Age(1100-1300) The time of knights and castles
7. Renaissance(1300-1500) The time when gunpowder came to use
8. Imperial Age(1500-1700) The time of muskets and cannons
9. Steam Age(1700-1900) The time of the industrial revolution
10. WWI Age(1900-1925) The time when electricity and telephones first came to use
11. WWII Age(1925-1950) The time when cars, lorries and other vehicles took over from horses and carts
12. Modern Age(1950-2000) The time when computers and information technology came to use
13. Digital Age(2000-2100) The time of the first use of artificial intelligence(cybers), and genetic engineering
14. Nano Age(2100-2200) The time of nanomachines, which could build anything from anything
15. Hyalonano Age(2200-2400) By manipulating space-time, it is now possible to teleport very long distances in very short times, hence spaceships could go to other planets in the solar system
16. Piconano Age(2400-2800) Now being able to work at even smaller scales, and so manipulating individual protons and neutrons, teleportation was extended so that it was possible to travel to solar systems of other stars
17. Pico Age(2800-3600) At the pico scale, individual quarks could be manipulated, hence the invention of galactic hyperspace, which meant that it was possible to travel to different galaxies
18. Femto Age(3600-5200) Getting to an even smaller scale, not only it was now possible to travel to the edge of the universe, but it was also possible to make detectors, which could be connected to atoms at the edge of the universe. This allowed for the age and future of the universe to be accurately measured
19. Atto Age(5200-8400)
20. Zepto Age(8400-15000)
21. Yocto Age(15000-28000)
22. Harpo Age(28000-53000)
23. Groucho Age(53000-105000)
24. Zeppo Age(105000-210000)
25. Gummo Age(210000-412000)
26. Chico Age(412000-?)

If you are still interested in all the futuristic technological epochs, then here is my summary of them.

Nano means 10 e-9,
Pico means 10 e-12,
Femto means 10 e-15,
Atto means 10 e-18,
and so on using units of the metric scale.

As you can see, at each epoch, technology has enabled people to work at smaller scales.

But bear in mind, that because the human mind is limited, technological advancement is also limited, and so the time between epochs increases.

I'm probably everything, because the people of my nation are at different levels...

technically my people are in the digital age, but we don't value technology. we are very spiritual beings

digital age, except for my Jedi, which probably count as low tech nanoage due to their lightsabers. I'd expect we'd have the ability to build lightsabers through mass production by 2100, if not later.

23. Groucho Age(53000-105000)

All my citizens have moustaches and cigars...

Actually, most of the RP that occurs(occured) in our region was Modern-Age, so Modern/Digital age...

I'd say the digital age, were highly modern but without such things like robots and energy weapons, though we use laser giuded weapons.
Oh ya, the residents of the wasteland are often in the stone age and a mono edged knife is a creation of the gods... :wink:

I'd say digital age normally. But in Rp i 'adapt' to suit the RP.

But i would like to congratulate you on a brilliant epoch list, it's truly amazing! :D

OOC:

Oglethorpia is definitely in the digital age. The government has contracted people to gentically engineer stronger timber tree breeds and more bountiful, healthier crops.

Scientists and health firms grow human cells to cure degenerative diseases like Alzheimers and Parkinsons.

Oglethorpia's pretty modern i'd say.

16. Piconano Age(2400-2800)

But... my nation exists in the year 2060.

16. Piconano Age(2400-2800)

But... my nation exists in the year 2060.

You are at 2060 and can teleport many light years in a few seconds already?

13 - Digital Age

I'd say our tech level is ... ummm ... digital age ... somehow.

we are about in the Pico age.

Aooogah is on the verge of entering the Nano Age but we are currently in the Digital Age.


Boris Kisoff
Diplomatic Minister of Aooogah

Umm 'digital age" is way off... there should be many sub sections, cuz the average "modern" player plays at around 2010 and ignores anything above 2020.

16. Piconano Age(2400-2800)

But... my nation exists in the year 2060.

You are at 2060 and can teleport many light years in a few seconds already?Well... yeah, we can cross the galaxy in two months.

Basadia is being kept at the feudal/renassance phaze by the regional religion of Yevonism practiced by about 85% of the population. Among the Albhedi, and the Sacceyhel population the technology is closer to digital borderline nano.

The government officially recognizes all groups but stays as close as possible to the Yevoni possition as they tend to be more prone to violent and non-violent protests of new technologes.

Buri ranges from 6 to 13 in diffrent parts (and sometimes the two coexist), its embraced many modern ideas and customs, and at the same time held onto parts of past ages.
