uh - not many people in here with much in the way of reading comprehension skills, the author's argument isn't that we aren't making ANY progress, he acknowledges the Internet and other advances. And by the way the project that gave us the Internet began in the 60's and was funded by the US Department of Defense.

As for the discoveries of nuclear physics, it's a clean affordable energy source, if not for human errors leading to a few accidents that got people scared we'd already be ahead of the game when it comes to decreasing CO2 emissions. Far more people have died from the effects of air pollution than from anything nuclear related.
The Manhattan Project, one of the most amazing technological feats in mankind's history, from theoretical papers to final product in 5 years! Today it takes a minimum of 10 years to get a new drug to market!
