What do we mean when we say the modern world? when did it begin? how is it different from the pre-modern world?

Hello!  Usually when someone says , modern for most of us , it means brand new... a modern car, or modern technology. 

 The Problem is, modern refers to a time in history between 1900- and 1970 , this distinction is totally evident in architecture,, google it and you'll see plenty of buildings from the 50's. modern art too... google it and you'll see plenty of paintings made in the 40's
