As order exponentially increases, time exponentially speeds up.
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.
Ignorance is not linear, it's exponential.
An exponential growth is a simple doubling. One becomes two becomes four.
It seems like the opportunity just increases exponentially. There doesn't seem to be much stopping.
If you want to be incrementally better: Be competitive. If you want to be exponentially better: Be cooperative.
We're quite volatile as individuals, but that doesn't work exponentially when we are together. Relationships are about eating humble pie.
Well, the security business has been growing. I think security is one of those areas where it's to some degree not linear but maybe exponential growth.
There's a tacit understanding among clubs that a good player shouldn't miss out on the big break of his career or a chance at exponentially improved earnings.
The death of chief justice Rehnquist and the president's nomination of John Roberts raises the stakes for the court and the American people exponentially.
Technology advances at exponential rates, and human institutions and societies do not. They adapt at much slower rates. Those gaps get wider and wider.
Anyone who believes that exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist.
The world is getting so reality-driven these days. It seems to be accelerating exponentially. But it's a dangerous game for a lot of people.
There just is exponentially more money in the movie business than in the music business. As a result there are more people involved in the creative process.
People need to understand how exponential technologies are impacting the business landscape. They need to do some future-casting and look at how industries are evolving and being transformed.
Success is measured in months for me. When my health fails, it will fail quickly. Tumors grow on an exponential curve.
Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill.
We are gods. Our tools make us gods. In symbiosis with our technology, our powers are expanding exponentially and so, too, our possibilities.
The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.
The radio was an improvement on the telegraph but it didn't have the same exponential, transformative effect.
Unlike us, machines do not have a 'nature' consistent across vast reaches of time. They are, at least to begin with, whatever we set in motion - with an inbuilt tendency towards the exponential.
