Given AI, jet travel, always new antibiotics, and cell phones, we might think that because of all of this, human being must surely be different from when I was born 94 years ago (before all of this).

Not really. We still use words. We still need each other and one another. We still have struggling governments. We still raise, grow, prepare, and eat food. A lot seems to have changed. But not this:

What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. (Mk 7:20).

And at the end of it all, each and every one of us needs a Redeemer to save us from the death that we have pulled and are pulling down on ourselves. Jesus Christ yesterday, today, and forever (Heb.13:8). That doesn’t change.
