The future speaks a different language

The shocking reality of exponential growth

The inventor of Chess presented the game to the Emperor of India, who is so impressed he offers the inventor any reward he wants.

The inventor asks for a single grain of rice on the 1st square of his chess board, two on the 2nd, four on the 3rd and so on.

The Emperor is amazed at the modesty of the inventor’s request, and thinking it can’t be that much rice, he grants the gift.

But he soon becomes enraged when the court treasurers report that by the 64th square, he would need to deliver 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 grains of rice - or a heap larger than Mount Everest (and more than 1,000 times the world’s annual production of rice).

Unfortunately, the inventor loses his life as a result. But not before making the point that exponential growth rapidly leads to results we can hardly comprehend.

“The second half of the chess board”

In a recent interview, Andrew McAfee, who wrote ‘The Second Machine Age’ said “Things only get crazy in the second half of the chessboard.” In his book, he calculated that Moore’s Law predicted a doubling computer power every 18 months from 1958 onwards and, "by that calculation, we entered the second half of the chessboard with digital progress in about 2006.”

He continues, ”For me that really helps me to understand why we are seeing smartphones and self-driving cars, and automatic translation and powerful artificial intelligence and this amazing parade of technologies. I think of them as second half of the chessboard technologies.”

Social networks vs Learning networks




Social networks vs Learning networksA learning networks will disrupt and reorganise learning institutions in the same way social networks have disrupted and reorganised social institutions.

While social networks have led to exponential growth in how we receive and share information as a group, learning networks will lead to exponential growth in our development as a group.

Learning networks are not just networks for learning, but networks that learn. By rapidly sharing what works now, everyone in the network learns exponentially.


Youtube and X Games has allowed the tricks and feats in extreme sports to grow exponentially as athletes learn new discoveries from each other.

Indiegogo and Kickstarter has allowed start-ups to ramp up the funding they can raise exponentially by sharing and learning best practices from the best.

GeniusU will allow entrepreneurs to learn the best ways to access resources and grow their businesses by sharing and learning the latest successful strategies from each other.

TRENDSDropping costs, distributed education, social

entrepreneurship and increased global awareness

IMPACTDifferent action: We are all moving from social

networks to learning networks: Exponential learning

ACTIONSJoin a purpose-driven, learning-focused communityShare your best solutions and learning with othersPlan your success based on what you learn today

In the next decade, purpose driven learning networks will enable us to share and accelerate our learning to solve the

world’s greatest challenges.

They will also replace the learning heirarchy of the current education

system.
