We can take organs out of dead people and put them in living people and have them survive.
I can be anywhere on the planet within 48 hours

We have robots being controlled live(ish) on mars
We have planes that can stay airbourne indefinately
And there's many more examples

Phones can also video call, lead you to just about anywhere you want to go on the planet, and store millions of pictures/videos/writings of a person's personal history. Unprecedented.
And you can store a complete offline copy of Wikipedia on your phone
