“…we have seen how the great acceleration is being driven forward by a powerful alliance between hardware and

software – between technology and ideology. Day by day, year by year, this

process is reaching further into our lives, as the billionaires and would-be billionaires

of Silicon Valley widen their ambitions. Space travel, education, energy,

agriculture, transportation – all these sectors and more are in their sights. In

their quest to disrupt the world, they and their cousins around the world are aided

and abetted by the availability of raw computing power on a scale unimaginable

a few decades ago.Robert Colvile in “The Great Acceleration: How the World is
