The Stone Age was this era where most humans seemed to share a similar toolmaking status for eons. Rocks, sticks, rudimentary clothing, and shelter. If you accept this premise that for perhaps hundreds of thousands of years, humans made incremental advances at a slow pace compared to today, then when do you suppose our current streak of mind boggling advances in toolmaking and science level off for a while?

If you can guess it, then bonus if you describe what you think that plateau will be like.
