While this probably wouldn't play out as such in practice, this is the essence of technological singularity. 1195:
The difference relies partly on the fact that the sequence covers a range of time that is narrow relative to how much has passed since. This is due to the graphing methodology, which (by rather circular logic) implies the present as an additional event in each sequence: for each sequence, the final point has equal X and Y values, meaning "time to next event" equals "time before present." --

I'm sure there must be some source out there talking about how space travel completely bucked the trend of accelerating change. 100 years ago, we could barely fly on earth, 50 years ago we had satellites in space, 40 years ago we were on the moon and we haven't done anything more impressive than that

Nickptar, the diagrams are permitted. Kurtzweil's graphics are almost the only graphics the page had, why was it removed so suddenly without a vote? The sources cited in the images are well established and referenced. If there is criticism of them, thats great: lets include it. An Accelerating Change
1194:
Thanks, Aetheling, you're correct in pointing out one possible sequence that would look different when plotted in this fashion. However, even a young-earth timeline would have fit reasonably well among Kurtzweil's others for the first few centuries AD (had Kurtzweil and logarithms been around then).
1169:
I understand your point, but I think you make it too strongly. Consider the points that a fundamentalist young-earth Christian would place on such a graph. The last point would be the crucifixion of Jesus, and all the points would fall between 6000 and 2000 years before present. The pattern would not

I propose that this article's topic should be changed from the Law of Accelerating Returns to the more general school of thought concerning accelerating change, (super-)exponential growth in technology, etc. There is as of yet no official Knowledge article on the topic, but much of the content in the

Unless there's any objection, I'm going to remove the diagrams currently in the article. All are OR violations (who picked out the selected inventions, etc., and who says there're notable?), with the possible exception of the patents given one, which still needs a source and more information, since

I have removed the most egregiously stupid of the illustrations from the article (that is, any with "time to next event" as an axis). Aside from potential POV/balance and copyright concerns, I have no problem with the ones that remain. If necessary, I will happily argue that the graphs I removed

It has! The novel was written in 1953! THE LIGHTS IN THE SKY ARE STARS by (the unjustly forgotten great) science fiction author Fredric Brown. The time scales for almost the same development of manned space flight is only 4 years off. But Brown does have manned space flight or , at least, manned

I support this removal as it appears to be personal opinion, and is unsourced. I also do not see how it is encyclopedic. It seems clear to me that the accelerating pace of change, from the 1800s, has been a key facet of at least US society. Unless there is an argument or a source, I expect to

present article really concerns accelerating change in general, not just Kurzweil's particular take on it. If nobody voices any objections here within the next few days, I intend to change the article's name to "Accelerating change" and reword the introduction appropriately. --

What I'm getting at is that we should set up sections for technologies (from computing, communications, energy, to transportation and so on) and highlight possible new advancements as they come along. Wiki is (after all) an ever changing encyclopedia.

In the image showing the computational speed of various media, it is confusing because it has a picture of a punch card, which doesn't calculate, that's done by relays, transistors, tubes, or whatever electronic switching medium the computer uses.
1212:
The very idea that singularity will be reached by 2045 is misled by the accelerating change involving everything, therefore Kurzweil's Argument is pretty misleading since he doesn't include himself in the change. Ah, the irony... (anonymous user)

It's not meant that way. "Returns" is a noun, not a verb. That is, it's a law about returns where the returns are accelerating, not a law about accelerating where the law is returning. It's intended as a reference to the much more famous

573: 766: 685: 1839:. Toffler's book was so influential that one could almost claim that he invented the idea of accelerating change as discussed in this article, so to not have him at least mentioned in it is... strange. 568: 1131:
So it's not a matter of selecting a reasonable list of key events — there's simply no realistic way that one could create a sequence (even an unreasonable one!) that looks different from this plot.
