I'd argue development isn't linear, as we seem to have millennia with pretty static tech, then in the span of a (increasingly long) lifetime, electricity, flight, and the internet. On that scale, our last 150 years could have occurred randomly at any time.
- ekianjo 6y ago> as we seem to have millennia with pretty static tech, That's not even remotely true. Even between antiquity and middle ages there were constant technological improvements. Of course everything sped up once we had access to steam and later fossil fuels as machinery to replace manual work became a reality.
