Humans haven’t just started advancing technologically in the past 100 years. Technological advancement goes back thousands of years - it just started exponentially advancing in the past 100 or so.

It's crazy looking at this with military tech.

A Roman Army from 250 BCE could very possibly defeat a Celtic Army from 1000 years in the future.

But...an Army from 1960 would be absolutely decimated by a modern military.

In a way it’s always exponentially advancing, it’s just when you’re in the middle of exponential growth nearly all of the absolute growth has occurred recently.
