Like every other aspect of life, the naming of eras had gotten more efficient over time. The Stone Age was named by historians and paleontologists nearly ten thousand years after it ended. The term “Industrial Revolution” was coined approximately twenty years after the event died down. The Age of Information was named while the ripples of its effects were still shaking the world. And the Singularity was called the Singularity even before it happened. The term Singularity was copy-righted by a major technology company and the robotic serum that would turn men into gods was actually called the Singularity.
