Everything is moving online. This is evident when we consider how much of the real world is being connected. Through advancements in technology, millions of devices are becoming "smart". The intelligence level of them is, at this point, not material. What is important is they are now part of the digital world, feeding upon and providing data. When comparing atoms to bits, we see a massive difference. The speed which the latter moves is incredible. Growth rates far exceed that in the world of atoms. For example, look at the time it takes to manufacture a new GPU. This is constrained by physics. Certainly, manufacturing techniques do improve, helping the total output. Let us compare the jump in digital output of each new GPU. Not only are they faster, less expensive (as related to earlier generations) but also more energy efficient. Whereas manufacturing might advance a few percent in improvement, digital advancement is much greater. So far, there was minimal economic impact. That is goi
