The pace of digitizing life has been increasing exponentially.
Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion.
I saw the logarithmic growth of computer power.
Everything in nature is not just a straight up. It's an S-curve. It arises for a while until it hits some physical limitation, and then it plateaus again.
An exponential growth is a simple doubling. One becomes two becomes four.
The distance from nothing to a little, is ten thousand times more, than from it to the highest degree in this life.
Because a child of one doubles its age after the passage of a single year, it can be said to be aging rapidly.
I never knew the word 'billion' when I was a kid.
Population, when unchecked, goes on doubling itself every 25 years or increases in a geometrical ratio.
Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio.
Life is exponential. Two becomes four, becomes ten thousand, becomes a plague.
Pain is never added to pain. It multiplies.
I think soccer in America is growing exponentially, and it's just going to keep getting bigger.
