Much longer than that

A reader asks,

How would you encapsulate Martin’s thesis?

1. Starting around 2000, the amount of information on the Internet doubles in a year. 


From one of the blogs.

The information race goes back to ancient times. I have gone through the list many times. The Phoenician alphabet, invention of paper, guttenburg, rotary printing press, telegraph, switched telephone networks.

Telegraph speeds doubled in a year, and never stopped. The internet today is an advanced telegraph network.
