The Price of Tomorrow - Jeff Booth

<p>Where @Sal_Pineda1 has focused on the social and cultural aspect, visionary tech entrepreneur Jeff Booth gives us a sober accounting of the battle between deflationary technology and inflationary money. </p> <p>Terrifyingly, tech has been taking a beating. </p> <p>The money is made worthless faster than revolutionary tech can make it useful. </p> <p>But the story isn't over. In fact, we are just now reaching the inflection point. </p> <p>Fold a piece of paper onto itself fifty times and observe the thickness. </p> <p>After ten folds - .25 inches.</p> <p>Twenty - four inches.</p> <p>Even at thirty folds, it's thirty-four feet. </p> <p>But the fiftieth?</p> <p>Nearly seventy MILLION miles - almost to the sun. </p> <p>This is Moore's Law in action - the defining observation of technological advancement. </p> <p>For decades we dismiss exponential improvement because it seems irrelevant.</p> <p>Then it astonishes us. </p> <p>The car drives itself, better than any human. </p> <p>The AI detects and treats cancer earlier, more accurate, and for the cost of a few cents of electricity. </p> <p>The power itself crashes in price such that the peasant of tomorrow will have access to more electricity than the nation-states of mid-century.</p> <p>The Price of Tomorrow is the story of deflation, the power of exponents, and the questioning of a post-economic society. </p> <p>The boat shall be rocked, and we're here for the ride. </p> <p>@thewholeframe and I break this one down, throwing a special thanks to @Nackoo2000 for the recommendation. </p> <p>spoiler alert: There's a hero in this story…</p>
