I'm with you on the basic thought, but could you please explain what
specific technologies you refer to when you speak of "exponential growth"?
It seems that, depending on the set of technologies involved, you
could assert either that (i) they are developing at a rate that will
outpace the means of 'the masses' to eventually acquire them, or (ii)
'the masses' are acquiring new technologies at an exponentially
faster rate.
