I'm curious why you think the nature of technology is on a positive curve with regard to liberty.

Technology is a power multiplier. In the context of a graph of liberty vs time it would simply make moving that curve on the Y axis exponentially easier.

So either you disagree with that or you have some optimistic views on human nature with regards to liberty.

Add in the problem that that the less liberty there is the easier/more likely it is for more to be removed, increases in liberty are up hill, so to speak, compared to decreases as a side issue.
