Throughout history, it seems like there have been lengthy periods of technological stagnation. I once was listening to a medievalist who said people in the Middle Ages had no notion of technological progress (though I wonder if it is really true there was no tech advancement at that time).
This is one of the most fascinating academic studies I have come across recently, and I have been reading the original referenced paper linked to in the article [0]. The take away is industries that are evolving fastest are linked to software where the rate of progress is extraordinary. It really is true, “Software is eating the world”.
