epoch

As a grand word, 'epoch' carries with resonance past times and historical circumstances.

It relates to a period of time, mostly past but potentially present, which is noted for its distinctive quality or innovation.

Recently, I have heard it applied to describe our current time as 'the dawning epoch of  internet connectivity'.  Grandiose for sure, but interesting nevertheless!
