hen we look into the future, we have a terrible habit of underestimating it. We look at the last 10 years, how far technology has come in that time, and expect this development to be mirrored in the decade coming. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In reality, progress follows the law of accelerating returns and the last 10 years saw significantly more growth than the decade before. Explained as simply as possible, the ‘law of accelerating returns’ is based on the principle that as we develop more technology, further growth becomes easier to conceive. We learn from experience, and faster due to the resources available to us.
