I'd put just a bit of water in your wine. You're basing your view on technology and technological output, but in other cultures and times it might be of zero value. Personally that's not what qualifies for a special moment in history (the potential ecological collapse is higher).

Also consider that technology, even in it's most beautiful form, is rarely seen by people. They live in a blur of tamed down ease of use. It's not necessarily an existential enlightenment for them (it also backfires a lot, people are leaving devices to go back to more time outside and sport, look at parkour and people living in the wild for instance)
