Golden Age

Noun · Hacker Culture

Definitions

  1. A period remembered as unusually strong, creative, or influential for a technology, medium, company, or community. In tech culture, claims about a golden age often reveal as much about nostalgia as about objective history.

    In plain English: A period remembered as especially great or influential.

    Example: "The panel debated whether the early web really was a golden age or whether people mainly missed a smaller, less commercial internet that also excluded many voices."
