If we're not limiting ourselves to artistic endeavours I think there are a lot of technological comparisons that one could make:
- 66 years from the first airplane flight to the moon landing
- ~850 years from gunpowder to the Gatling gun; ~80 years from the Gatling gun to the atomic bomb
- the first computers in the 1950s; the first web browser in 1991; the first smartphone in the mid-late aughts; generative AI in the early 2020s
