exponential

When you look at the curve of the exponential growth of computer power, it's quite remarkable.

But resources in the real world are limited, so exponential growth tapers off in most real-life situations.

The curve starts off with a slight increase… and then gets really steep: that's called exponential growth.

Our risk of death as human beings doubles about every eight years, so that means there's an exponential increase.

There are two ways to look at this, you can either look at it as a human and think this is this exponential, terrifying wall of mortality coming at me.
