Kurzweil and Meyer: “We’re entering an age of acceleration. The models underlying society at

every level, which are largely based on a linear model of change, are

going to have to be redefined. Because of the explosive power of

exponential growth, the 21st century will be equivalent to 20,000 years of

progress at today’s rate of progress; organizations have to be able to

redefine themselves at a faster and faster pace.”
