… the key to a future of Abundance is the ability of technology to generate exponential growth, rather than linear growth.

Linear growth is what gives you something like Angry Birds for Facebook.

Exponential growth is what gives you a radically new technology platform capable of changing the world. In a world now measured in terms of billions of potential consumers, iterating 30 times (2^30) with an exponential technology takes you to that magic one billion mark. As a proponent of the coming Singularity, Diamandis understands how exponential change in one field – such as computing – can lead to exponential change in fields ranging from energy to biotechnology to artificial intelligence.
