For the last few years, a similar thought has been bugging me. You mention the technology sector specifically, but I think your thought could be applied to almost anything. Waking hours in the day, mental stamina, physical stamina, life span, external resources (food, shelter, etc.). All of these things are finite, and they are all required by humans. Most businesses cater towards growth or profit to be more specific. This desire does not have any upper bounds. If the desire for profit exceeds the ability of the current local population, what happens? It seems natural that everything will implode at some point. For the time being everyone puts their heads in the sand and hope that future tech will improve efficiency.
