How economic growth is attain?
Answer:
With adecuate increases in the availability of three items:
1.-Labor.
2.-Capital goods (machinery).
3.-Natural resources.
The three need to grow in harmony, an oversupply of one (labor) wont make up for a lack of another (resources). Money is not a resource, its just our way to say who owns a given share of our resources, workforce, production or machinery.
Technological advances do not in principle imply economic growth, unless they allow increases in the availability of natural resorces and the capacity of the workforce to use them.
Fefe K.'s answer is largely correct, but I would like to clarify one point.
"Real" economic growth (meaning improvement in the material standard of living of the population) can come from increases in technology if that technology increases productivity.
Productivity is essentially the ability to produce a larger amount of products or services with the same amount of resources. E.g. if last year I could produce 100 pounds of food and this year I can produce 101 pounds of food with the same amount of land, water, machinery, and labor, then the economy has grown in a meaningful way.
