We went from no human flight to landing on the moon in under 100 years. I’m personally overwhelmed at how fast technology is moving, it’s hard to keep up. However for 240,000+ years we just rolled around in the dirt hunting and gathering without even figuring out the wheel?

It’s like the old “I’ll give you a penny today and double it tomorrow, then double that the next day”, and so on puzzle. A penny isn’t a lot of money now, but over time it grows exponentially larger. Doubling a penny can grow to $5,368,709.12 in just 30 days.
