Interestingly, accounting the duration and density of events:

Empires and conquests - 3000 years, Industrial Revolution - 300, Scientific Revolution - 200, Technological Revolution - 50

Every year we go through as much as 4x events than in 1945, and as much as 60 medieval years (!) squished in one year.

I mean, there’s presumably a strong recency bias here.

Don't forget a correlating exponential growth in human population.
