Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:
In the Srimad Bhagavatam
Yes our present materialistic age is predicted in the Srimad Bhagavatam as follows:
prāyeṇālpāyuṣaḥ sabhya
kalāv asmin yuge janāḥ
mandāḥ sumanda-matayo
manda-bhāgyā hy upadrutāḥ
"O learned one, in this iron age of Kali men have but short lives. They are quarrelsome, lazy, misguided, unlucky and, above all, always disturbed."--SB 1.1.10
Therefore we have to protect ourselves from the demoniac influence of this age by always chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra as much as possible. This powerful vaccine will immunize us from the contaminating influence of this age.
