66 years from the invention of the airplane, we landed a man on the moon. 50 years later, we regularly fly from New York to Tokyo in 3 hours via supersonic upper-atmosphere aircr—wait a second, that's not how that turned out at all.

Same thing is already happening with technology. Progress in the last 10 years has been comparatively minimal, and it's definitely not speeding up. But at least we have IoT lightbulbs.
