People thought we'd be much further progressed now when they was in like the 1920's or something

Most likely.
I mean, we've always compared millennial humor to gen-z humor, so there's an obvious difference every 12 years or so

We've just got what it'll be like based on our current generation.
we'll find out eventually what that future will be like
whether we've figuratively or literally screwed ourselves or not is dependent on whether or not we have been decent human beings, gone into nuclear war, or have exposed every young human on earth to..., well, you know.
