Why We Should Be Teaching Exponential Technologies To Our Kids?
What are exponential technologies? As the name suggests, exponential technologies are technologies that have an exponential growth rate in short periods of time, in terms of capacity and performance. Another important feature of exponential technologies is that their cost comes down every some years. Therefore, with time, their price-performance ratio reaches a point where it becomes feasible to use them for solving business problems as well as for being large-scale use or consumption. Computers are an example of last generation’s Exponential Technology that experienced doubling in advancement and lowering in costs approximately every 1.5 years. Today’s exponential technologies include- Artificial Intelligence, Game Design, Robotics, 3D Printing, Augmented & Virtual Reality, and Machine Learning.
