    what is even the point of this graph? GDP is a nonsensical metric that barely tells anything about the economy, let alone society and technology.

      you could substitute almost any other graph. This isn’t about GDP really, just about change.

      i think it’s not meant too literally, more like a meme, to make fun of people who say sci-fi will forever stay sci-fi while at the same time things change very quickly.
