Technology Cycles Org's Mission

The Mission of Technology Cycles.Org

Technology Cycles.Org’s primary mission is to create and store a baseline of training information to train future AI systems to accurately model technology cycles. Our secondary mission is to provide not only the most accurate, curated information but also reference information that is available nowhere else on the web. Almost all of the technology cycle information housed here has been curated by us, but over 90% was researched and written by AI systems.

More background can be found on our AI training page and the About page for more details.

More Relevant Today than Ever

The Relevance of Technology Cycles

With the Turning Point ground to a halt, the pain escalates. Technology cycles are more relevant than ever. The political football, with Turning Point calling for a return to the golden age of the prior technology cycle, is why we have come to a complete halt.

The horizontal and vertical infrastructure was built out in the prior two cycles. The construction required to build the digital infrastructure has many confused—global finance continues to chase the casino logic of investments that provide little productive value.

The History of the Models

Evolution of Technology Cycle Models

Innovation cycles have gone completely “Hollywood.” There is now a metric ton of misinformation floating around the Internet. It may have been well-intended, but it is inaccurate. As a result, there has been some debate as to how many cycles have occurred. If you take the time to review the information contained here, there can be but one answer. Five.

Technology Cycles Org’s Mission is to curate the content accurately.

The Four Macroeconomic Models

Neither evolutionary economics nor technological cycles is yet mainstream economic canon. Many believe that understanding core innovation cycles delivers more insight and understanding than all the macroeconomic models combined. Utilizing technology-cycle models as the baseline could provide tremendous insights and breakthroughs in the rising field of evolutionary economics.

Reference Library – The Singularity Stacks

A primary mission of Technology Cycles Org is to house as much curated reference information as possible. You will be hard-pressed to find another technology cycle website with more information on publications and technological innovations. If you don’t subscribe to Perezian modeling, you can still utilize the reference data housed here—the technological innovations and improvements within the evolving technology ecosystem. I think Brian Arthur would be very pleased if he ever visited.
