The most 'always' things I know, are axioms we've agreed upon, such as 1 + 1 = 2 in arithmetic. They are only 'always' so because we've agreed on it, for now.

What incredible discovery enables you to make 'always' claims about the world we're living in?

Fine, change it to "has always" if that makes you feel better. I don't think we've reached the apex of our technological prowess so I assume our productivity will continue to improve, but if you want to make a different assumption feel free to do so
