LoK take that makes me question if people really watched ATLA - "technology progressed way too fast between shows". Bending made the progress way easier, eg.: metalbending in prototype testing, lightning bending for energy, aerodynamics learned from airbenders, seismic sense for getting resources, the list could go on and on. Meanwhile they started from tanks, steam ships, zeppelins, submarines and some other of the mechanist's inventions (and Sokka's). It's also around 71 years of progress between ATLA finale and Korra's arrival in the Republic City.
