Awesome post! 1870-1970 is an era of amazing core discoveries! At the same time, it's amazing how computing is helping every single field there. Even if the core discoveries are already made, the efficiency gains in the recent decades are tremendous: * Classic windmills vs modern aerogenerators * Analog transmissions vs highly multiplexed, high bandwidth digital transmissions * First modern passenger planes vs more aerodynamic, more efficient planes * Straight jet engines vs turbofans * Saturn V vs Falcon 9 & Falcon Heavy * Mainframes vs modern computing devices We live in an era of refinement, where the old discoveries are being improved in ways that enable new uses that were in the realm of science-fiction not so long ago.
