I don't know about that. Sure the perception is that "technology" is constantly accelerating. But if you look at it a more finite, measurable sense, for eg. Steam Engine/Steam Propulsion technology (I picked an arbitrary one, based on my assumptions, so apologies if this technology is "accelerating"), can be said to have decelerated. In this sense, the constant "acceleration", IMHO is more of a perception thing. However, companies setting higher and higher sales forecast no matter what, is the type of acceleration that is quantifiable and not quite sustainable indefinitely. There are limits. You can keep profiting till you've got a monopoly on EVERYTHING... and then you just make all the minions work harder, or make people produce more babies so there are more consumer? That type of acceleration is unsustainable and quite frankly, absurd.
