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.
I'm curious as to what basis you have for this impression. Because, someone who follows technology news even casually should know otherwise. And, as more and more technology becomes available, there will always be more of a need for engineers to improve upon new designs.
Human technology will never outpace our ability to imagine new ways to create solutions to problems, and problems never run out. The only thing which can do any harm to technological progress is the desire of the superstitious to subvert science education with myths and nonsense.
