Love it!  You are a great thinker.  If not for you and those filled with wonder, the pace would be all together different.
My mind thought of LED's, voice & ocr recognition, dna sequencing, nano material creation, telescopes, disk storage, space flight, 3D printers, and most of all interconnectedness, growing at warp-net speeds.  (suffering greatly within several societies around the world however, for change is coming far to quickly for some).
But I'm sure in your mind you might find just maybe one of these that qualifies too because all things can be considered one and the same from some perspectives.
High praise for those filled with wonder for it is a "Wonder Full" time to be alive.  Don't you agree?
In conclusion as the "Sci fi" channel suggests,  "Question Everything!" and then the process of wonder begins.....

'Question nothing' and just 'believe' seems to be the order of the day on this thread (sensible questions spell 'troll' to many people here!)!

You actually need a unit for things to grow at some pace.  Most of the things you're talking about are unitless.

Ok, here is a unit.
10 years ago it took 6 months to sequence the human DNA, Now it can be done in 20 Minutes and printed on a DVD for you!
20 years ago, it took 6 years to do the same and took many CD's to save the data.

As they say in the computer world, the problem is actually a "ID 10T error". Why would you think a unit is required to show progress?
Progress  can be shown by any change in results, even if the results are worse, because even with worse results, you know your heading in the wrong direction. A batter can hit the ball further and further with each pitch and even though no one is measuring the distance and comparing, progress can be seen.

You arguments are weak and fall into the "ID 10T error" class.

Bitch please.  We are talking about an exponentially increasing rate with respect to time, not just any improvement.

Like I said "ID 10T error".

You just need to move the letters closer together!
