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,

I think that's the point; the industrial age changed people's ways of life as dramatically as the transition from hunting/gathering to agriculture, and the computer age most certainly has not. If human civilization makes it another 1000 years I think the present will be seen as part of the industrial revolution.

"I can read when the sun goes away now" and did they read? Yes.

"I can peruse the sum of human knowledge at all times" but do you? No, you watched a Colbert video, which is no different from reading The Spectator while making GBS threads in a pot.
