I think the transistor age would make more sense, it allows the age to cover a broader stretch of history. Think about things like the stone/bronze/iron ages, it's not any one new tool but the base technology itself. So if silicon gets supplanted I don't think we will stop using transistors. But who knows with quantum photonics, maybe laser/optic circuits will supplant a large chunk of silicon transistors in the next 100 years
