The pace of technological and social change has been increasing steadily in the 20th and 21st centuries - so logically there would be more information recorded and more historically noteworthy events going on.
Also, many of the entries here are duplicates of those on the Technology Timeline. So they should be fine.
Speaking more generally, and from an editorial perspective, I don't think any specific number of entries in a given time period is really an issue. If you'd like to point to specific entries that you think don't contribute to the setting, and if there is a consensus that they should be removed, then we can consider removing them. But simply saying there are too many entries in the time period in absolute terms is a non-starter, I would say.
