An episode on NPR's Here and Now program discussed why innovation has slowed down. It mentioned genontocracy, dominance by older people who are less innovated. If people have an understanding of science and mathematics, it would be obvious to them when knowledge is advanced, innovation would likely slow down, because the easier innovations would be done soonest, and as we advance, further innovation will be harder. And another problem at this time is the dominance of a power elite which focuses on quick financial returns.
