  The thesis isn't that major advancements aren't happening, but that they're happening more slowly. Or maybe more accurately, there was an period in the 20th century that is now over where major advancements happened unusually quickly.

    That thesis is not well supported by the article, and I didn't see it referencing better-quality material. And it grossly overestimates the speed of changes. My father farmed with a mule in the 1950s.
