How does the modern era differ from the middle age

We are more civilized. We have vaccines for diseases, and cures for diseases. We have human rights laws and issues. We have faster means of transportation and a better chance for a woman to survive labor

The "Middle Ages" or medieval period generally refers to the entire time span between classical antiquity and the modern era in Western history. The Middle Ages lasted approximately AD 500 - 1500, from the fall of the (Western) Roman Empire to the fall of the Byzantine Empire and the discovery and colonization of the New World. The Middle Ages are often partitioned into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages.
