day and age
This modern time
Day and age appears almost exclusively in the phrase in this day and age, meaning in the present time or era, with an implicit contrast to the past.
The phrase often introduces observations about how things have changed or should have changed: In this day and age, you'd think we could do better.
It can sound slightly clichéd.
