>Moore's Law
We are now on the Maturity/discontinuity stage of silicon processors.

However this has happened in the past before. Vacuum tubes, Germanium transistors all reached this point and were replaced by a superior technology. Moore's Law is a temporary slowdown until we will have access to Graphene based processors.

You are right about a theoretical hard cap on technological growth, but I don't see that happen within the next couple of decades and if our current trends continue we would arguably already be at a post-scarcity society stage.

Yes I personally also don't subscribe to the thought that "Internet entertainers" will be the 4th sector. However I still remember when my boomer dad thought that the service sector would never be big enough to carry an entire economy. "Not everyone will be able to be waiters and office workers" Is something people truly thought back then. Remember the Service economy only truly exists since the late 70's to early 80's. It's not been in existence for very long.
