Yeah, too bad 2000 years ago people weren't advancing as fast as we are now.

The WWI compared to WW2 is a good indication of how fast our people had begun to advance because we were able to communicate with people from the other side of the world.

The time of Socrates would literally be the same everyday until a new ruler was appointed
There technology wasn't advancing fast enough because the wars weren't big enough. Bigger wars, bigger weapons this wasn't the case though. They lived in a small world.

We toss your generation in there because you guys were the first to be born in it. A lot of us had to see it go through many stages before it reached this point. So it probably had less of an impact on us then the kids born in it. It's crazy I see kids in elementary with self phones. Don't tell me that hasn't effected that kid in a unique way. when I was in elementary I had a Gameboy, and people crowded me to watch me rek other pokemon trainers with a lan cable, that shit amazed us. Today we got this wifi stuff and it's all wireless and whatnot. This is literally THE biggest change to people in history since like The Phone or something. It may have changed us all, but the kids who only know internet and doesn't know what it's like when the internet didn't exist were effected most by this transition.
