"It's the unexpected technologies that you have to watch out for."
Some would argue that the unexpected technologies are what keep technology curves exponential rather than S-shaped. (I'm thinking of Kurzweil here). Once advancement starts to slow something else crops up and re-energizes progress, keeping the exponential growth curve intact.
- rayiner 14y agoIt doesn't make a lot of sense to think of "the technological curve" as opposed to various technological curves. If you look at things like power technology, aerospace, medicine, etc, improvements have not been exponential in the last 5-6 decades.
