“But because we’re doubling the rate
of progress every decade, we’ll see the
equivalent of a century of progress—at
today’s rate—in only twenty-five
calendar years.” The Singularity is Near

“Most long-range forecasts of what is
technically feasible in future time periods
dramatically underestimate the power of

based on what I call the ‘intuitive linear’
view of history rather than the ‘historical
exponential’ view.” The Singularity is Near
(kindle 429)
8. “Printing gave humanity the written word. The Web makes
everyone a publisher. Printing enabled the distribution of
knowledge. The Web provides a platform for networking
human minds. Printing allowed people to know. The Web
enables people to collaborate and to learn collectively.”
Macrowikinomics (kindle 566)
