We tracked the frequency of each invention in the nth year after it was invented as compared to its maximum value and plotted the median of these rescaled trajectories for each cohort. The inventions from the earliest cohort ( ) took over 66 years from invention contrast, 1973 declined to half its peak by x , a lag of only 10 years. We are forgetting our past faster with each passing year (Fig. 3A). 5 We were curious whether our increasing tendency to forget the old was accompanied by 0more rapid assimilation of the new (21). We divided a list of 147 inventions into time-resolved cohorts based on the 40-year interval in which F ian frequency Frequency (log) E (gray lines; median, thick dark gray line). Five examples are highlighted Half life : 73 yrs :4 yrs phase (73 years, red line). Inset: The doubling time and half-life over time.
