The technology timeline groups major advances by energy, computation, communication,
community, and military. The phasing of these developments partially
reveals how they are built upon each other and push each other forward in a
continuously advancing spiral. Communication advances lead to energy discoveries
that lead to community advancement that results in more energy discoveries/needs
that lead to computational development that results in communication advances.
Military research appears to be a key impetus for the cycle, since it occurs outside
the typical constraints of competitive economic pressure. It is driven more intensely
by competition to defend/conquer.
