Technology can be confusing enough, but add in the notion of exponential growth, and it’s enough to make a brain (or two) explode. Thankfully, we have people like Ray Kurzweil who can explain it. In this recent talk at Google in support of his new book, How to Create a Mind – The Secret of Human Thought Revealed, the inventor, futurist and author explains the innovations in technology and just how quickly they are happening. To sum it up: the future is happening much faster than I thought.
