>To explain this acceleration of technology, let's remind the exponential growth of population: There are more people on Earth than dead population since the birth of times

Actually there have been around 100 billion people born over this history of human kind. Given a bit over 7 billion people are still alive that suggests most people ever born are dead.

As an aside I have heard this suggested as an argument that the probability of death is not one. If only ~93% of all the people born have ever died then you can't be certain that everyone born will die.
