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.
There is only so much that can be done with what we have, granted at this time we have a lot to work with, but we must manage to come up with truly new inventions which means new knowledge, if we are to sustain technology. Look at the car for example, as far as transportation goes, and transportation is still it's main function, it still has five wheels and burns a ton of gasoline. The car is over 100 years old and so is the airplane, yet we still do not have the technology to combine the two for a usable transportation, the knowledge is not there, if it were you can bet it would be in use today. We can't get more than 50 miles out of a gallon of gas, and when we do part of the family doesn't get to go.
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.
