In many fields, the bar for virtuosity has risen sharply, and not because of what we’d normally think of as new tech. eg: The record marathon time 100 years ago would barely qualify for the Boston Marathon today. (h/t A Ericsson) Are there fields in which the bar has regressed?

Algebraic manipulation. No one since Ramanujan has achieved virtuosity comparable to his in this art.
