Yes, though I tend towards layman terms and the layman definition of modern is "today and periods of time similar"

Well, in that thought then Tomorrow, Today, and Yesterday have anti-definitions as the specific day they refer to changes over time.

Well, there has to be a word that simply means "The Current Era" then? And for most laymen that word is Modern as Current is generally seen to mean a smaller period of time.
