That’s 4 centuries.

What was the most advanced technology of the 1700s? The typewriter? Horse and buggy?

We still have people living lifestyles like in the 1700s, up in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

You are off by about 70 years on the typewriter:
The first typewriter to be commercially successful was invented in 1868 by Americans Christopher Latham Sholes, Frank Haven Hall, Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soule in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The cast iron stove was a big innovation in the late 1700s. As was the advent of steam power in factories.

“We still have people living lifestyles like in the 1700s, up in Pennsylvania and Ohio.”

My grandmother was born on a remote farm in Norway around 1885. So I’m guessing like the 1700’s. Although she probably saw a steam boat on the fjord, but no electricity, cars, etc.

She lived until 1983 so saw men on the moon. She always said she had lived during the most remarkable time on earth. It is pretty amazing what had transpired during that time.

“...We still have people living lifestyles like in the 1700s, up in Pennsylvania and Ohio...”

There are people living lifestyles like the 600’s all over the middle east...

And illegally migrating here...

I thought your question interesting;

Here's a fun list of new inventions in the 18th century

Pianos, batteries, flush toilets, steam engines, gas lighting, bifocals, parachutes and the sextant. Just interesting stuff to ponder.
