Mike’s Mind: What Changed in 2022 [Episode 371]

What were the top breakthroughs of 2022, and how do they compare to the top breakthroughs of 1922, 100 years ago? Let’s rewind 100 years and look at the pace of innovation a century ago. In 1922, the world was just emerging from the aftermath of the Spanish flu, and this year ushered in a new era of progress and rebirth. 

In 1922, in the United States:

• There were ~12 million cars on the road
• The price of gas was 11 cents per gallon
• The Ford Model-T cost a mere $319
• Only 40% of Americans had electricity in their homes
• Only 35% had a telephone
• Life expectancy was 58 years for men and 61 years for women (about 20 years less than today)

The top breakthrough inventions in 1922 were:

1. The first water skis were demonstrated using wooden boards and a clothesline
2. The first manually retractable, convertible car hardtop was invented
3. The electric blender was invented for making malts and milkshakes
4. The radial arm saw was invented to cut and shape long pieces of stock material
5. The use of insulin for the first time in a person to treat diabetes
6. Vitamin E was discovered
7. The Australians invented Vegemite

In today’s episode, Mike is talking about some of the major inventions that occurred in 2022. For each, he describes “what it is” and “why it matters.” We’ll look at breakthroughs in 7 categories: Space, Energy, Health, Food, Robotics, Quantum, and AI. It’s safe to say that the speed of innovation has accelerated a fair amount over the past century. We think you're going to be blown away by some of these, and invite you to look into them more.
