Exponential Times

Did you know, we are all living in exponential times? 

There are over 2.7 billion searches performed on Google each month.  To whom were these questions addressed B.G (Before Google).  Are we going to call the time span as B.G and A.G (After Google)?  Perhaps.  Don't be surprised to see a term coined, BG and AG, atleast among those nerds who always try to find an answer for something that bogs their mind.

More than 3,000 new books are published daily.

It is estimated that 1.5 exabytes (1.5 x 10¹⁸) of unique new information will be generated this year.  This is estimated to be more than in the previous 5,000 years.

Third generation fiber optics has recently been tested by NEC and Alcatel.  This is capable of pushing 10 trillion bits per second down one strand of fiber.  This is nothing but 1,900 CDs, or 150 million simultaneous phone calls, every second.

 

47 million laptops were shipped worldwide last year.

What does this all mean?  Shift happens.
