I think the real point is that most of this wonderful shit that happened since 1910 to make our lives so much better, happened just a bit earlier, because as of late, if anything, I'd say we've done quite a bit of backsliding.

Looking this far back is just a good way to feel better about that unfortunate fact, I guess.
