Ok, so maybe the ages have quickened but in relationship to the passage of time. However i think that the transition period from one age to another may have lengthened.
The last age started to end with the industrial revolution, quickened a little bit w/ the advent of the A-bomb during WWII and fully ended when man achieved the ability to journey to the moon. During which, our current Machine Age was picking up speed and growing into it's own. Perhaps the next age will begin with the advent of interstellar travel, or more likely (and sooner) understanding of DNA and cloning proceses for complex organisms (i.e. man).
