Think About Exponential Growth
• Since 1994 the number of web sites has grown from 5,000 to 250,000,000 (50,000 % increase)
• Distinct content pages now number in the trillions…
• Every day, Google handles about 6,200,000,000 page views and processes 20 petabytes of data.
• 275,000 words are typed every minute onto blogger
• Facebook has 1,000,000,000 active users

In Less Than A Generation…• From isolation to
communication as the norm.
• From going out of your way to communicate to going out of your way not to.
