The Age of Analytics

• We live in the age of mathematicians in which inordinate power and wealth will go to the people who create the algorithms that end up dictating who and what we know. The amount of information people digest is doubling every two years. That overload leads to shorter attention spans, shorter units of communication, and a dire need for curators.

- Yuri Milner (Russian Social Media Mogul)
