Time itself is relative to the observer. Advancement in technology is moving so fast because it's like opening doors to find more doors on the other side. Once the first door is opened, there's no stopping it.
I agree that technology is moving at a fast pace, however that pace will slow if new inventions do not come along, and at this time they are not. So the advancements are more or less an illusion, at some point the knowledge we have now will cease to produce new technology because all knowledge has it's limitation. If we do not find new knowledge for truly new inventions, we could become stagnate.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
