English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic Fluctuations
  • General Scientific and Technical Vocabulary
CONT

As is often said, to know where we are going, we must know where we have been. Precisely, this path of development is what so many people study so as to be able to gauge the potential rates of technological growth that awaits us in the future. These studies point to a technological evolution which is not altogether unlike natural evolution : certain changes occur slowly, in a piecemeal fashion, but this slow evolution was punctuated by sets of major beakthroughs which sped the rate of development many times more or less suddenly.
