“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.” These words of Ray Kurzweil, an American inventor and futurist, ring true. For this is just the beginning. In the foreseeable future, we will be talking about moving from a linear detraction to exponential power in terms of technology. And I would love to be a part of that ‘exponential power.’
