Ray Kurzweil wrote an interesting piece in the Washington Post called "Making the World a Billion Times Better." It talks about the exponential progression of technology.
It sure makes a lot more sense in hindsight.
It is exciting to think about what it means, going forward. But, counter-intuitively, you often have to look back to know what to focus on. You often can logically segment what happened in the past to see which pain-points, new capabilities, or paradigm-shifts triggered the leap to the next phase. Once you understand the gating process, you can project forward. Then the next steps come into focus. And cycle starts fresh, again.
I've done this with the tools and techniques we use to trade. The progression makes so much sense, now; even though it seemed so random as it happened.
It is fascinating to look back at how far we've come. I'll bet you could do the same. More importantly, no matter how far you've come to get here ... realize that sometime in the future, you can look back and smile as you realize how small the game was that you used to play.
