In a similar vein, my grandfather was born in 1888. At that time, there weren't any cars in use. There were no airplanes. In 1950, he flew, for the first time, as a passenger on a commercial airplane to Toronto for a convention.

Agriculture in his lifetime due to technological improvements, saw two-orders of magnitude improvement in productivity.

In my opinion, we are seeing a slowing of the impact of technological change from that period.
