The Decline of Disruption in Science and Technology [pdf]

Slowing of progress in Science and Technology results from

1. Slowing of scientific processes

    Article is correct that high-quality science is still       
    being performed. Because of increasing noise caused by 
    enormous size, ground-breaking work is increasingly 
    ignored

2. Slowing of transfer of science to technology

    In fields like Computer Science, a huge gap has opened 
    between fundamental work and the short-term development 
    horizons of companies.

3. Slowing of development of technology

    Fundamental development can require Apollo-scale projects.
    For example, 
       * resilience against cyberattacks based on the Actors 
         Abstraction and proving systems properties by
         Event Induction
       * Intelligent Systems using electronic glasses and
         Active Ontologies
