  2. Ray Kurzweil: The law of accelerating returns “In the 19th century, we saw more change (in technology) than in the nine centuries preceding it. In the first twenty years of the 20th century we saw more advancement than in all of the 19th century. And we won’t experience 100 years of change in the 21st century – it will be more like 20,000 years of change at the current rate.”
