Reply to comment by s1ngular1ty2 in Why do we assume aliens have similar technologies or more advanced technologies than we do? by jilljackmuse

Do you think we're near the end of technological progress?

No but the gains we have left won't be things that people assume are possible like faster than light travel, faster than light communication, easy space travel, etc. All this stuff will remain super hard to do or impossible.

We will likely get better computers, communication technology, telescopes, better power sources, better computer learning, maybe AIs, faster travel across earth, but that's about it.

Going out of our solar system or between galaxies is never likely to be a thing that people will do.

Yeah, that makes sense to me. Hence why need to look after this planet and take climate change seriously.
