Why are we still using technology that was basically made in

This is a meme right? You're not actually that clueless are you? A.I. Isn't coming its already here for practical purposes.

I swear I remember some guy who was convinced that technological progress ended in the 1960s before in some other thread.

everything we had in the '60's we now have better versions of. Plus a bunch of cool new stuff.
If you own a smartphone you have more computing power in your hand than all of NASA had in 1969. An more than the total global computing power of 1960.

A jet engine today weighs less, consumes less fuel, has more power output, lasts longer and requiers less maintenance than an engine from the '60's

I could go on but the list is near endless.

>Why are we still using technology that was basically made in the 1960s and before?

It only seems that way to you because the emergent contemporary technologies are molecular in proportions. The shift from mechanical innovations to chemical innovation happened around the 1960's as well. See: Medicine, transistors, LCD screens and such.

Is that a Convair 880?
Where are the black smoke trails the Convair was notorious for that.

It's a picture from flight sim. Didn't even bother to get a real picture

He says, while living in a world where doctors can take a photograph of a kids broken arm on their pockets sized telephone (that is also a computer), send it to his colleague on the other side of the globe who can then adapt a 3d pattern for a brace to match the kids proportions exactly, then send it back to the doctor who can print out a full size physical version in a matter of minutes.
