A Quote by Ray Kurzweil

As order exponentially increases, time exponentially speeds up. — © Ray Kurzweil
As order exponentially increases, time exponentially speeds up.
The value of assets often increases exponentially while the value of your labor only increases incrementally.
It seems like the opportunity just increases exponentially. There doesn't seem to be much stopping.
Dishonesty increases disorder exponentially. It's hard enough to communicate when you're telling the truth.
The complexity increases exponentially when you try and combine two companies that both need to be restructured in their own right.
There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context; you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe.
Mathematically, debts grow exponentially at compound interest. Banks recycle the interest into new loans, so debts grow exponentially, faster than the economy can afford to pay.
As the number of things connected to the global network increases - from data, voice, video, and smart devices to new breeds of applications - the opportunities to realize much greater value from networked connections also increase exponentially.
Cities tend to be representations of societies: diversity and inequality find their extremes in urban settings. Yet, when war is added onto pre-existing inequalities, high levels of poverty, or even disaster, urban fragility increases exponentially, making it harder to absorb the shocks of warfare.
My reading list grows exponentially. Every time I read a book, it'll mention three other books I feel I have to read. It's like a particularly relentless series of pop-up ads.
One: demonstrations always crash. And two: the probability of them crashing goes up exponentially with the number of people watching.
When technological advancement can go up so exponentially, I do think there's a risk of losing sight of the fact that tech should serve humanity, not the other way around.
When herding behaviour among investors ramps up, a stock's or index's growth rate can increase faster than exponentially, leading to more herding. This positive feedback brings the system to a tipping point. About two-thirds of the time, a crash results.
The ignorance of how to use knowledge stockpiles exponentially.
The pace of digitizing life has been increasing exponentially.
Just like a computer, we must remember things in the order in which entropy increases. This makes the second law of thermodynamics almost trivial. Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases. You can't have a safer bet than that!
Fortunately, human forgetting follows a pattern. We forget exponentially. A graph of our likelihood of getting the correct answer on a quiz sweeps quickly downward over time and then levels off.
