My first thought on reading the question was, "probably not," but of course in a certain sense everything both does and does not 'keep up' with technology. Anyhow, what we have here is a good article with a lot of links covering some of the more important recent trends in technology: machine-readable learning, common building blocks, machine teaching, self-driving organizations, and change. But even as I look at this list, in contrast to some of the forward-looking applications, we can see that even this set of trends is being left behind. Now, of course, everything both is and is not 'left behind', so none of these things goes away; it all becomes part of a much more complex soup.
