The pace of innovation should slow, as innovations become increasingly more difficult. The low hanging fruit naturally is discovered/built first. Fusion power harder than Fission, Webb harder than Hubble, bigger particle smashers harder than smaller. Sometimes earlier innovations allow you to accelerate the next innovation but eventually you get diminishing returns. We older tech and science nerds need to be careful not to fall in the “kids these days” traps. The kids are allright, the innovations of the past were full of chaos irrationally and mistakes as well.
