This is very true: Kasparov is frankly wrong to say the last 'revolutionary' technology was the Apple II back in the 70s. The past thirty years since then have brought many huge technological developments with lasting impact on global society. The internet, mobile telephony, DNA sequencing and profiling...
What Kasparov doesn't seem prepared to accept is that most innovation is iterative. This iteration can be compressed, but even dramatic events like the moon landings were based on decades of research and iterative development.
I just can't take someone seriously who claims there has been no revolutionary tech since 1977. It undermines some of the other points Kasparov is trying to make, particularly around growth and monetary policy.
