KNOWLEDGE & WEALTHKNOWLEDGE & WEALTH

Mankind’s first technological steps were the production of Mankind’s first technological steps were the production of sharp-edged tools, the control of fire, and the invention of the sharp-edged tools, the control of fire, and the invention of the wheel. It took our species tens of thousands of years to reach wheel. It took our species tens of thousands of years to reach each of those pivotal discoveries. But by AD1000, each each of those pivotal discoveries. But by AD1000, each paradigm shift in inventiveness required only a century or so paradigm shift in inventiveness required only a century or so to come about. And the acceleration since then has been to come about. And the acceleration since then has been exponential: in the first 20 years of the 20th century, exponential: in the first 20 years of the 20th century, technological advancement exceeded that of the entire 19th technological advancement exceeded that of the entire 19th century.century.
