For decades now, the way to keep up has been to focus on an ever-narrowing field of knowledge. I don't think that's controversial. One description of the singularity is that it's when the maximum intelligence of an agent (human, computer, whatever) begins to significantly increase due to increasing computing power. If we're using that definition, then it fits with your "saturation point" description, since we'd be increasing the amount of information that an agent can handle. The "singularity" aspect is from the perspective of an unmodified human, not the upgraded agents themselves. But there are other definitions. :)
