We be Mega-3T; we are entering a Mega-4T.

But the obsolescence of nuclear war came in after WWII, except I don't think people really understood that until the anti-war movement and the diplomatic efforts of JFK onward. It was mutually-assured fear before then. And of course, Dr. Strangelove in 1964. Awakening began that year.

You have to expect a little fudge factor on things like age and turning boundaries. Somebody is going to say but but but...

But the Information Age has as its major attributes computers, nukes, and proxy war. With the Bentley Park machines, the nukes at the end of the war, and Gandhi and King making their non violent appearance soon after, a plausible case could be made for the end of World War II. A little later, perhaps, but the early markers were there. As with the prior boundary, you can't expect everything to happen at once. Things were moving faster by this time, so it is tighter than the prior time, but maybe.

At least the argument is over a shorter piece of time.
