The Hidden Digital Divide
11
Moore’s Law
This observation measures advancements in R&D in digital
electronics
It estimates that every 18 months the number of
transistors in microprocessors doubles
So far these advancements have led to:
• Cheaper electronic goods
• Increased memory capacity
• Increase in pixels in digital cameras
12
Moore’s Law
Digital electronics have contributed to world economic
growth in the last 40 years
Therefore Moore’s Law describes the driving force of
technological and social change, productivity and
economic growth
13
The Singularity
The point where artificial intelligence matches human
intelligence is called the singularity.
At present our smart phones are nice toys, but what will
happen when they are smarter than you?
And when will that happen?
14
Catching up?
The size of our brains is amazing!
The brain can make 2.88 x 1017 calculations per second.
That figure is roughly the same as the volume of one of
the Great Lakes in North America.
Computers are not yet at that stage, but they are catching
up – and rapidly!

The End of Capitalism has Begun – Paul Mason

The Ideal Machine - 1858
Marx imagined information coming to be stored and
shared in something called a “general intellect” – which
was the mind of everybody on Earth connected by social
knowledge.
In short, he had imagined something close to the
information economy in which we live.
He wrote, its existence would “blow capitalism sky high”.
20
Where does that leave your country?
• Digital economy in the EaP region is asymmetrical with
the EU
• and …. IT is about to exponentially develop
• We are moving into a post capitalist society
• Manufacturing, and middle-management jobs will go
• But jobs linked to innovation are least affected
• Because power will reside in knowledge and creativity

What are other countries doing? Georgia.
