I may disagree with you, slightly. You're talking about the Industrial Revolution in the 1800's, yes? That was a really big deal. However, there have been huge advances other than with computing in the last 50 years. I see one of the biggest as the discovery of new elements on the Periodic Table. We are very close to discovering new elements that may be extremely stable and that have miraculous properties.
Once that is achieved, we will see an explosive growth in new technologies. Pun intended, although there is more than just weapons. We're talking about amazing materials with magical properties that will allow new spacecraft designs using extremely low amounts of energy for propulsion while allowing strong lightweight craft. Computers that don't need heatsinks to bleed off heat from using lots of energy. Materials that can be printed in shapes without additive manufacturing, that remember their shapes if deformed. The list is endless.
You are allowed to disagree with me if only slightly. Do not break the laws of physics, however. The higher the atomic number, the more unstable an atom becomes, and the shorter the half life. You must know this. Supernova explosions have afterglows based on rapid neutron absorption capture. They decay in like two weeks.
