What's even more important, this progress is happening without, or with limited amount of, its downsides.
Like, fewer and fewer children dying does not result in uncontrollable, Malthusian population explosion: number of children in the world remains constant, population grows just because of growth of life expectancy.
More and more people getting electricity does not mean we are using more and more non-renewable resources: consumption of coal and oil remains nearly constant and only natural gas is on the rise (while this is the cleanest fuel and there is a lot of it left).
Same can't be said about clean water, though.
