I mean... I like to think we've done a bit more than that. FFS, file compression alone has made leaps and bounds since the 3.25" floppy days.
Also, as a T-SQL guy, I gotta say there's a world of difference between SQL 2008 and SQL 2022.
But I'll spot you that a lot of the last 10-15 years has produced herculean efforts in answering the question "How can we squeeze a few more ads into your GUI?"
There have been a few "milestone moments" like map-reduce Hadoop, etc. Still, there's a whole lot of eye candy wrapped around the same old basic concepts.
