The Law of Accelerating Returns

We won’t experience
100 years of progress
in the 21st century
— it will be more like
20,000 years of progress.

It is not the strongest that survives,
Nor the most intelligent….
It is the one that is most
ADAPTABLE TO CHANGE.
Those that have learned to
COLLABORATE
and IMPROVISE will prevail.

Creativity is just
connecting things.
- Steve Jobs, 1995
When you ask creative people how they did
something, they feel a little guilty because they
didn’t really do it, they just saw something.
It seemed obvious to them after a while.
That’s because they were able to
connect experiences they’ve had and
SYNTHESIZEnew things.
An idea is nothing
more or less than
a new combination
of old elements.
new combination
old elements
James Webb Young, 1940
A Technique for Producing Ideas
The capacity to bring
old elements into
new combinations
depends largely on the
ability to see
relationships.
new combination
old elements
James Webb Young, 1940
A Technique for Producing Ideas
They must know how to link apparently
unconnected elements to create something new.
People who hope to thrive in the Conceptual Age
must understand the connection between diverse,
and seemingly separate disciplines.
-- Daniel Pink in AWhole New Mind
