Maybe a linear progression is the wrong metaphor. Maybe it’s more accurate to talk about how different areas experience technological
revolution. Then it’s easy to say that technological progress will slow down in the current areas, (and this is pretty non-controversial, even the most adamant tech-bro would admit that the most innovation in the smartphone already happened and the current changes are less drastic), while simultaneously arguing that there are still plenty of areas to revolutionize.
