Another totally arbitrary narrative you could build from history is one of reducing size and increasing efficiency. We gone from room filling monsters to the raspberry pi zero. It’s hard to make giant datacenters that require their own powerplants fit into that narrative. But I don’t know why I should prefer one narrative over another. I can’t help hearing Karl Popper raging against historicism when I see people try to create a narrative and project it into the future as we move to some idea state.
