Flat? I don't think so. I'm at a coffee shop and looking around me, this is very different from just 20 years ago. People with laptops and smaetphones around me. Just 20 years ago, that same place saw a few CS major nerds with their laptops, everybody else sat with a book or some paper to write on or reading a paper newspaper. Still with a latte, but tech has changed everybody's life dramatically in 20 years. 20 years from now I'm again expecting at least as big a change.

Definitely exponential.

You're agreeing with the comment you replied to. they were saying it was flat until ~1700 or so.

They wrote that it "appears flat". I tried to contradict that.

> However from inside this bubble there is a sort of tech dilatation where everything appears normal and flat and it is only the future that has exponential growth.
