      not really, once you look at this over a longer time span you can see that no it does not correlate with technology, unless you think that technology basically stagnated between ww1 and the 80s

      (to complete the comment before me) … and that you assume the technology is also mostly stagnant in the last 2 decades, which it certainly wasn’t, especially in the computer science world. Though it could’ve got much much faster if people were paid more relative to what they produce.
