That’s maybe way less impressive as it sounds but just how new tech establishes itself in a burst of progress over the first couple of decades.
E.g. we are currently just 68 years after the invention of the first integrated circuit and 55 years after the first microprocessor…

Not to veer off topic, but I always found this timeline fascinating: First straight line no frills flight was 1903. The first dogfight (with pistols) was 1913. The first [officially recognized] dogfight with machine guns was 1914. By 1915, forward-firing machine guns became standard, allowing for aggressive aerial duels.
If only science and discovery was our species’ true priority :(
