+According to
+[Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/modern), the word
+"modern" is defined as:
+
+```
+1 a : of, relating to, or characteristic of the present or the immediate past :
+	contemporary
+	// the modern American family
+ b : of, relating to, or characteristic of a period extending from a relevant
+	remote past to the present time
+	// modern history
+
+2 : involving recent techniques, methods, or ideas : up-to-date
+	// modern methods of communication
+
+3 capitalized : of, relating to, or having the characteristics of the present or
+	most recent period of development of a language
+	//Modern English
+
+4 : of or relating to modernism : modernist
+	// Modern art has abandoned the representation of recognizable objects.
+```
+
+What I care about here is the second definition.
