The difference of 1870 :: 1940 has to be less noticeable than the difference of "Before Fire" :: "After Fire".
Imagine having no form of artifical light or heat, and then, you have.

So there's only conclusion: We've been in a technological decline ever since the early stone age,

[...]because the Euro cycle is bullshit.
Can't say anything about the US' cycle.

The current EURO-_cycle_ itself may or may not be crap, but the testing conditions are. Basically the cycle may be run with a car not charging it's battery, without any lights and in a configuration no common customer could/would buy (talking about crappy light seats and manual window lifters instead of electrical ones, etc.), ... of course the results are for the bin.

I still love my shiney new volkswagen which gives me the feeling that I could actually survive formerly lethal or crippling car accidents without any serious injury. Just to get back to topic.

How are you liking the fact that your car probably lost a large portion of its value from the diesel scandal, even if it's a gasoline car? Here, Volkswagen GTIs are being sold with $2000 worth of incentives now. GTIs!
It's diesel, but I didn't really intend to sale it in the foreseeable future, anyway.

The refinement from one-off multimillion-dollar prototype to mass-market, reliable products is part of the technological advancement process. Modern cable internet is way more advanced than a T1 line, and the fact that normal people can afford is is part of the reason why.
Not only cable. I recently noticed my LTE mobile phone downloading stuff faster than my 50MBit-DSL-Landline does.
