For the record, modern historians don't use the term "Dark Ages".
Couldn't think of a better label this morning for how I felt. What would you suggest?
The Orange Age
Futurama calls the current era the Stupid Ages.
As for the period between the fall of the western Roman empire and the renaissance, it's often referred to as the Middle Ages.
I am not talking about present day. I couldn't possibly know what this era will be called in a millenia. I'm just spreading the info that "Dark Ages" isn't the preferred term for the early middle ages.
