Representing Modern Testing

Add Memory
A humorous timeline comic titled "Modern" shows how the word "modern" is confusingly used across historical periods. It marks overlapping eras: "Early Modern" (~1850), "Modernist" (~1900), "Mid-Century Modern" (~1950), "Postmodern" (~1980), and "Modern" (~2000 onward). To the right, a separate panel zooms into a spike labeled "Modern Testing" around "2017-ish," poking fun at software testing buzzwords. Caption below: "The use of the word 'modern' to refer to a bunch of specific historical periods is a fun prank by historians."
In this memory: Alan Page

I had to get a "Modern Testing" version of this out there.
