Raymond KurzweilThe Singularity is Near
• Technology operates exponentially while our minds operate linearly
• It took 89 years for the fixed line telephone to achieve an adoption of 150 million users, but only 38 years for the television to get to the same point. The mobile phone achieved this in 14 years, the iPod in 7, and Facebook in 5.
• 20,000 years of progress this century. • At a certain point, we have to leverage
technology or artificial intelligence to continue to model or predict the future

and Ecosystem Economics
• Google says that they organise the world’s information
• They actually organise the economics of the world’s information
• I, as a consumer of their search, am not given any economic upside in the
search transaction.
• They have built a multi-billion pound business using – albeit anonymously –
my personal data – aggregated with that of others, but releasing none of
the economic value to me
• Their biggest Achilles Heel is if someone in the search space were to cut a
different set of economics for the consumer
• Ariadne Capital found that entrepreneur – John Paleomylites – founder of
BeatThatQuote, and sold his business to Google on the 4th of March 2011 for
a 122 EBITDA multiple for these reasons
