I would say the modern era began in 1957 when the first satellite went into space, but what about you?

Post-WWII is definitely modern, although you could also make the case for post-WWI being modern.
The 1920s are often regarded as "the first modern decade", as that's when automobiles, telephones, and radio were now a standard, when there was a rise in consumerism, and when talking films, fast food (White Castle, A&W), sliced bread, and commercial air travel became a thing.

Yeah, definitely after WWII, technology just kept doing massive leaps since. Even history books agree with this notion.

I think the start of WW2 in 1939 to the end of the space race in 1975 was kind of a transitional era from old to modern. I think the '80s are a lot closer the the '10s technologically than they are to the '40s despite being the same distance apart from each of them.

I can agree with that.

At the time of the Age of Enlightenment, a range of ideas centred on reason as the primary source of authority and legitimacy and came to advance ideals like liberty, progress, tolerance, fraternity, constitutional government and separation of church and state, starting around 1715.

I was going to say around 1750 but 1715 works too.
