Are we at the very beginning or very end of technological development?

In one of John Michael Godier’s latest videos on Astroengineering projects he started by saying that present day humanity is either at the very beginning of huge technological development OR at the very end. I agree with him but I wonder which it is. What does everyone else think? Stiegler said technology is always evolving so I am leaning towards the former.

    We are near the end of Darwinian evolution, but technological evolution of intelligent beings is just beginning.

    neither beginning or end just a change in direction to keep that from happening but I think we may be failing...
