Podcast 22 How to understand technology by wiring your brain differently

Randall van Poelvoorde on Tech & Robots

What I want to discuss with you today is the problem that most people have in understanding how rapidly technology is developing. Here's how it works. People are completely programmed linearly. When we count, we count one, two, three, four, five. Every week goes from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. We know that Christmas is always on December 25th and that a minute lasts 60 seconds. At the same time, the impact of technology on our lives is growing ever larger. And technology doesn't care at all about linearity. Where we count one, two, three, four, technology counts one, two, four, eight, sixteen. If you take 36 linear steps, you'll probably end up in your neighbor's yard. But if you take 36 exponential steps, you'll be on Mars. Isn't that completely incomprehensible?

I invite you to listen to my podcast regularly. We will discuss fascinating technologies and inventions. We will talk about the problems and opportunities. We will ponder what the world could look like. I promise you it will be an exciting, fun, and optimistic journey. A journey full of robots, artificial intelligence, self-driving cars, and sustainable energy. A journey full of questions and answers. A journey full of wonder and astonishment. But also, a journey with a lot of recognition. I am going to create these episodes with great pleasure and I look forward to hearing your reactions.
