“Technology tends to build on itself in a not quite logarithmic scale. If you have two things you can have a third and you suddenly have five. So it goes on and on and it speeds up. And more importantly, because it’s logarithmic, the speed-up speeds up. It is very difficult to predict the future because all these technologies start to roll together and cross reference each other. So what’s driving the future is the human intellect, the more and more assistance we get from computer codes and computer technology and with half the world’s population living in cities you have more and more enclosed architectural complexes.” (Syd Mead)
