But the rate at which we approached these thresholds and correspondingly
how quickly we will move past them is a question of Moore's law. While it
may seem as if it took forever to get to this point, innovation will
accelerate exponentially. The music industry should take heed of the
following: “If you think it's bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet.”
Digital Music: The Real Law Is Moore's Law
In a little over a decade I could have a copy of every piece of music ever
made in human history. Let's say 15 to get vinyl records that won't be
converted to CD online.
My prediction (along an entirely different line): the first economist to
describe a credible theory of making money in an environment of overabundance
will win the Nobel Prize.
Scratch that: the winner will be the first economist to propose what
amounts to a potlatch economy to the global scale will be the one to win the
Nobel Prize.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
