That's just a gross exaggeration. Trains and cars were already new tech compared to horses, nuclear power vs coal power, diesel vs steam, steamships vs sailing ships, transistors vs vacuum tubes. Come on, history is full of revolutionary new tech surpassing incrementally improved old tech. It's unlikely that we're now at the end of the history of technology.
