The end of increase in computer power per equal size doesn't mean the end of innovation but it a massive slowdown.
The slowdown in increasing classical computing power means also a slowdown in innovation - even though '''AI might somewhat compensate''' the gap between classical computing and quantum computing.


Companies relying on innovation will be endangered by the unofficial rules of stock exchange: a steady production isn't enough, a company mustn't be stable, it must be growing to satisfy its shareholders.
Given that capitalistic principles will not cease to exist a '''technosphere''' and slowed down knowledge acquisition will eventually cool down certain markets and strengthen the '''run for a "growth in quality"'''. It fits the new Zeitgeist of being "sustainable", "CO2 neutral", "green". General speaking transformations themselves can be new markets.


Capitalistic principles will not chease to exist but a planetary technosphere and slowed down knowledge acquisition will eventually cool down capitalistic economies and allow a Biocracy to be chosen as reasonable political system. - All the more since computers and robots will [https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/nov/05/robot-revolution-rise-machines-could-displace-third-of-uk-jobs replace about 47% of all jobs in the next 20 years in the US]. So for 2050 with emerging, mighty AIs we can expect even more pressure on economy and society to change dramatically.
The gap between rich and poor people is likely to get wider even faster.

* Companies are driven by the rules of stock exchange which includes that a company mustn't be stable, it must be growing to satisfy its shareholders. The '''additional pressure for growth''' - because it is getting more expensive - will increase "rightsizing".
 
* Jobs need to change or unemployment might be skyrocketing. In a pessimistic estimate from 2015 '''computers and robots''' [https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/nov/05/robot-revolution-rise-machines-could-displace-third-of-uk-jobs replace about 47% of all jobs in the next 20 years in the US] - if no countermeasures are taken.
