If my son was born when I was born, he wouldn't be alive and my wife may not have survived the birth. If he was born 5-10 years ago, he'd have brain damage. Today, because we know what to look for and how to treat and prevent many pregnancy problems and early childhood problems he's alive, healthy and thriving. There are a million innovations that are super niche, so we don't know about them.
Yes, we've certainly progressed in nearly every field
But are they truly innovative or are they a natural evolution of something that already existed?
Yeah. I think it is.
I am also thankful that my children were born in this era as well
There has been significant progress in the treatment of cystic fibrosis
Still not the kind of innovation I am talking about
