5. What does the future hold?
“technology is not just
advancing gradually: it is
accelerating” Lights in the Tunnel (kindle
227)
“If you make some very logical, and
even conservative, assumptions
about where technology is likely to
lead in the coming years, much of
the conventional wisdom about
what the future will look like
becomes unsupportable” Lights in the Tunnel
(kindle 222)

Exponential Change is Happening
6. “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.”
