    You invent Penicillin and save the lives of millions of people...

    People have always been trying to better their situation, its certainly not a modern concept.
    I suppose the problem is that the term "progress" implies that there is a final goal to be reached which when you apply to human civilization as a whole is a pretty vague ideal of making people safer in the long run, there is no real scale to measure our achievements against.
