Agreed. The one thing I would add though is that while a lot of the technology we are using now has roots in the first half of the century, the second half has been big in terms refining and making said technology available and accessible to an increasingly higher % of human population across geographies and across economic levels. I think that in itself is a big step forward.

This is one reason why economic growth in the west is stagnant. Technological progress is what fuelled our strong growth half a century ago. Without it, politics becomes a zero sum game.
