We will expect to see 20,000 years of progress in the next 100 years according to The Law of Accelerating Returns | KurzweilAISo once, when leanring facts was considered the peak of intellectualism, this wont be important anymore. Back in the 1980s Buckminster Fuller created the Knowledge Doubling Curve. Industry Tap writes, Until 1900 human knowledge doubled approximately every century. By the end of World War II knowledge was doubling every 25 years. Today things are not as simple as different types of knowledge have different rates of growth. . . . But on average human knowledge is doubling every 13 months. And that rate will increase exponentially. IBM theorizes it could someday become every 12 hours.map the human brain, has calculated thatseveral billion petabytes of data storage would be needed to index the entire human brain.The Internet is currently estimated to be 5 million terabytes (TB) of which Google has indexed roughly 200 TB or just .004% of its total size4
