That’s incorrect. We have seem similar advancement in time frame. I think you’re thinking material sciences that have advanced to a high degree like never before. Societal advancement is not much different.

Ok? Thats a theory…. From one perspective. That doesn’t mean it is the definition of societal development. That would mean that ancient Greeks were a highly advanced modern society with their analog computers that they had for computations for the sky and sailing purposes or there use of steam engines in Alexandria that were used in temples. Doesn’t work. From Industrial Revolution to today it is our material sciences that have advanced. I would argue that culture has a larger impact on the tech side as well.
