The big one missing is mobile telecommunication/computing. Basically the last most transformative tech since your list is the lithium battery I guess ?
And this transformative effect keeps on giving, with the transition to renewables and "electrified everything" (such as cars, but not only).
The thesis isn't that major advancements aren't happening, but that they're happening more slowly. Or maybe more accurately, there was an period in the 20th century that is now over where major advancements happened unusually quickly.
not to bang the trope drum too loudly, but Kurzweil mentions this phenomenon when describing the way that growth looks exponential over a long scale, but feels more like S-curves[1]
That thesis is not well supported by the article, and I didn't see it referencing better-quality material. And it grossly overestimates the speed of changes.
