Yes, Ray Kurweil wrote about this. Technological progress increases at a logarithmic rate, so the time between major revolutions becomes smaller and smaller until it is continuous.
- ska 10y agoAn interesting idea but hard to prove from a couple of points ! I'll have to dig up what he wrote.
- FeteCommuniste 10y agoThat would be exponential rate. Logarithmic means that the curve gets flatter over time, not steeper. :-)
