Rocket technology 70 some years, same with nuclear. Cars just over a 100 years. Planes 90 some years. So basically all these advances of our technology, medicine, science, education mainly has been accelerating at a high pace in the last 200 years. Thats just a generalization too, not to get picky on numbers or anything.There is a line of thinking that humans have existed in their current form for over 100,000 years, and have had long stretches of history with very little technological advancement. There have also been periods of significant advancement interspersed among those long stretches. Some say aliens have always been among us and have provided those tech advances as humans have become more able to accept them. The huge tech leaps we have made in the 20th century were due to the fact that we had advanced enough in other areas of humanity that the aliens have felt we are at a place where those advances could be seamlessly integrated into our culture. In other words, we are not making all these amazing discoveries and advances all on our own.
