Yep, I read once that technology and technological capability doubles every 6 months (IIRC). I sure have seen it in the last few years, from railguns, to drones, to rayguns (yes, they have them), to invisible cloaking military vehicles, to wireless induction energy powered devices (like wifi, but with electricity, although, this was pioneered by Tesla, it’s being improved now), we truly live in a remarkable era. It truly is amazing, good, bad and ugly.
We sure do. I can remember my grandfather marveling at all the advancements he'd seen in his own life. He was born in rural Mississippi in 1906, where automobiles were so rare, that half the town came out when one passed through, and no one had electricity in their homes.
By the time he was 80 or so, he'd seen the invention of television, manned flight, space flight, computers, and every other technology we take for granted today.
