Science and technology is the aggregation of a civilization's empirical knowledge and its practical applications. Most of the societies of the Superpowers timeline are ahead of OTL in its regard. Medicine for diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes and cancer exists; manned missions have been sent to the farthest reachest of the solar system; manufacturing is done on an atomic scale and weapons vary in precision from needle-thin lasers to continent-leveling nuclear bombs. However, the presence of these technologies alone does not distinguish this World's level of advancement. It is their ubiquity that sets It apart from other timelines.
