You’re right in that information/communications technologies as a whole have developed rapidly over the last century. This is part of Robert Gordon’s idea of an overall innovation slowdown (lots of progress in bits, very linear progress almost everywhere else).
I don’t buy his whole argument or his outlook for the future, I just wanted to dispute the idea that exponentials are a guaranteed and perpetually ongoing trend.
