The number of advancements will decrease because technology will inevitably plateau... it is more likely that an apocalypse would have come and wiped out most of the humankind other than those living in caves... and the human race and civilization would have to build itself back up again from the ashes... or global warming will destroy the earth making it not habitable like Jupiter or Saturn... or a fiery planet like Mercury... We will never know because in life like in death, the world without us or not, will continue to orbit around the sun... we are just passengers of this great green-blue planet that we live on...
