Progress Begets Progress, Right?

Rihanna: Progress is not automatic. Every new major discovery gives us a certain boost, and then the gains from that discovery level off overtime. I wrote a recent post about this at the roots of progress, where i was talking about the different s curves.

Then it hits maybe an inflection point where it starts really accelerating and taking off. And then eventually economy gets saturated.
