I grew up without the Internet. My grandparents grew up in a completely different world. My parents saw man walk on the moon and the Internet. The rate of technological progress has greatly decreased in my lifetime.
I hope things like CRISPR save people from cancer but it has yet to be proven. Lost my mother to cancer and I can tell you my impression is that we are in the dark ages with cancer treatments. I believe in 100 years people will think of our treatments like we think of blood letting now.
