What exactly feels far off to you?
In many cases, sure, exponential growth can't go on forever, but one has to be careful about spelling out what you mean. What are your axes?
Don't forget that each successive technology may introduce a new growth pattern.
One has to be quite careful in analyzing and forecasting these things.
