Sure. But so far, we've found that revolutionary step every time we've hit these sorts of walls, and if I was a betting man I'd wager we'll do the same again.

- Vespasian 11y agoRight, but just as a contrast: Technological progress speed has been at an all-time high since the begin of the industrial revolution. It might as well slow down again and we have to remember that most humans in history saw little to no advances in technology over their lifetime. I'm excited for the possibilities modern science opens up but I also think we might reach a point where fundamental progress stalls for a century or two.
- pauletienney 11y agoI guess free worldwide information transfer (aka Internet) just opened this era and we are not close to see any kind of stalling (IMHO).
