Humans just don't live long enough to benefit as a generation when it comes to this kind of rapid and radical progress, which is sad. That said, I think the issue is largely one of mindset. Although we don't live very long, we are unusually adaptable, a feature which becomes lost in the comfort of an agreeable status quo. Unfortunately for the Luddites, it wasn't a feature that manifested again when that status quo was upended.
