The logical progression would obviously go, Stone age, Bronze age, Iorn age, Age of invention (Agricutural age), Industrial revolution age, Technology age, Information age, and Space age.
An alternative view is as follows:
The Golden Age
According to Hesiod, this was the age when Cronus was in power. It was an age of perfection, of innocence and happiness, in which truth and justice prevailed, not through, force, or power, but through man’s natural goodness. Labour was not necessary, because the earth freely gave its wealth and riches without labour; warlike instruments did not exist, because peace was in the hearts of men. It was always spring – the only season – and men were always young; fruit and flowers bloomed without being planted, and milk and wine came from the rivers, the honey flowed from the oak. Death, when it came, was a pleasant sleep, and men were transformed in to good spirits or demons, and were then appointed to watch over men on earth and to guard and guide them.
The Silver Age
An age, despite its name, of suffering hardship, and decay. Zeus introduced the seasons of the year, which meant the displeasure and discomfort of summer heat and winter cold, and he reduced the spring. Houses – not necessary in the golden age had to be built, and labour became necessary for man and animal because nature no longer gave its treasures for the asking. The silver age men were strong and powerful, but they were impious, defiant, and mentally weak. When they died, they lived under the earth as spirits, but Zeus did not confer on them immortality, which was one of the gifts of the age of gold.
The Brazen Age
The work of Zeus, when all things were made of brass (or bronze), was a period of war, violence, savagery, and strife, in which strong men – stronger than those in the silver age – destroyed each other. In this era, when men died, they stayed dead.
The Heroic Age
The age of demi-gods and heroes. Superior to both the silver and the brazen ages, it is the period associated with the Theban and Trojan Wars.
The Iron Age
The last age and the worst. This followed the heroic age, which is suspiciously modern in its resemblance to later and present-day society. It was not merely a period of struggle and hard labour, but of labour degraded into toil. Crime was common, and all the qualities that we hold up as ideals, truth, modesty, virtue, honour, decency – were stifled. Day and night were made miserable by care and worry. Mean and selfish purposes dominated men, who used the earth’s wealth in mean and selfish ways. The qualities that we are supposed to be ashamed of were the ones that were uppermost: fraud, deceit, violence, and hatred. The world was red with blood, and civil and foreign wars were as common as crime. With the world in such a state, one can hardly blame Zeus for his descision to drown the world and its inhabitants – only the fear of setting heaven itself ablaze kept him from starting a fire – and to create a new world and race.

i think of that we are going to amplify into area. an area Elevator is incredibly much a possible prospect, offering a much less costly skill of entering into area. From there, there's a image voltaic device crammed with concepts. Nuclear and/or industry in area. Mining the asteroid belts for uncooked supplies, utilising large image voltaic creditors to furnish much less costly potential. The Governments and multinationals up until finally now have been grasping. yet with the effects of world Warming already taking result and components being depleted. The Governments etc. are coming around to seeing area because of the fact the only possible determination. do no longer forget that the recent area station is being created by way of sixteen distinctive international locations. we could wish it is not too previous due.

i like to picture a "utopia age" nuf said there...
how about the matrix age? no way: there is a vr matrix, but, they hide it from you in order to hide their mind reading and manipulation capabillities. now with that said, we can see into a person like never before and we can now fight crime and corruption on a grand scale, i think this could enable a "utopia age" hey one day, i would like to see a "free age"
or maybe a "peace age" i'd like to see and age where there wAs law and order, and this age looks promising. i want people to be free from slavery oppression temptation tyranny
i have a dream that one day we will have the freedom of law order and justice and that we will be free from oppression and tyrany. i have a dream that people will use their free will to clean this world of its corruption and that the world would be a different world. i do not just have hope, but i have all the proof i need to see that this is well within our reach. i believe that just as god can save anyone, that anyone has the freedom to go from evil to good, and that they will do so when they have the motivation, and its easy to give them this motivation as everyone has a concience a good and bad side and that if we appeal to the good in people, they would have no reason to go against that. even a wicked man is greedy enough to love goodness and greatness and a wicked man's greed wont let him pass up a good thing.

i think it would be virtual age.in which all things will be done virtually, and there will be no need for the physical sensation of the things, it would be ultra modern age, and again its depends on the more and more inventions in the information age, as noting is complete in this world, and also the creater of this whole universe, the one and only one-ALLAH SUBHANAHU TA'ALLA- says in the holy Al-quran " spread into the earth research the things and search for me"
so according to Islam these innovations will go on till the last day of the universe.

Now is the robot age, and after the robot age, is the ARN age or the age of the RNA Artist.
The RNA Artist age will see all the lifes that you can't create by evolution created by Bio Technologists.
