Generation implies the process of creating or the production of something. Synonymously, the term can also be referred to as era, age, period or epoch. These words suggest a phased and progressive approach to continuity. Other synonyms may include phase, stage, time or cycle. They all denote a temporal span within which one can identify certain characteristics that define a particular period. For example, we can talk about the digital or technological age or era, which denotes a current phase of human development. Regardless of the synonym used, the understanding is that there are distinct, progressive and inter-related periods within the world of human creation, development and evolution.
