We've developed aircraft, automobiles/motorcycles, and computers with highspeed internet. We've begun to solve most major medical issues that plagued (literally!) our immediate ancestors. We've figured out where we are in the cosmos and developed a solid scientific explanation of how we got here. Our knowledge is growing exponentially, so fast that it's hard to keep up with even a fraction of it.
Yes, I do sometimes rue the fact that we don't get to explore the universe in ships of some sort (I like that phrase, "the laws of physics are not known for their laid-back nature", Iroscato!), usually when musing on Sagan's passage about how the religious Dark Ages set our civilization back by 1000 years, but then I go start up the Road King, and all is well.
Your not playing right. Yours: Happy Reality :

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
