  1920-1970 1970-2020 I think most people would agree that in the 50 years before 1970, the world changed more?

    I dunno. The only qualitative changes between 1920 and 1970 I am aware of are that by 1970 a single person went to space, and introduction of nuclear power.

      I think my grandparents got electrity in the 60s and running water by 71. Also my grandfather took a commercial plane in 62 from France to visit a California factory that sold screws already packaged in boxes of 50. Weird, but he smelled a good idea. Also got paid leave in the 30s. That was huge.

      And also the development of computers and the internet was pre 1970.

        No idea why this factual statement sits at -1 but I guess that's the state of HN. ARPANET was 1969.
