In practice, you are imagining a world in which we never expand our civilization into space and across the galaxy, because otherwise you would be looking at the S curve and thinking "wow, this thing has only just gotten started" and marveling at what lies ahead.
There is less low hanging fruit as things progress. I'd guess we're very close to the peak of attainable technology.

Not many people, and pretty much no research scientist, would agree with that statement. I can personally think of several technologies I'm 100% certain will exist in < 40 years that will drastically alter everything about day to day life.
Not if they decide to use nuclear power. Humanity has at least one more dramatic jump in power-use/person that has been ready since the 1960's.
