The s-curve of technology is not meant to be applied to universal technological improvements in a civilization. It just doesn't work. > And what the past sees as hard often becomes less hard (I'm not going to say easy, because technology is never easy) in the future thanks to the accumulation of knowledge and increased speed of processing data. It doesn't matter how fast you process data if you can't physically alter the scenario. No amount of data can make the carnot cycle more efficient or reduce entropy. I'm sure the Romans thought Europe would never enter the dark ages too.
