Technological achievement is accelerating, at an accelerating rate! For homework,
listen carefully to a song from Zager and Evans, "In the year 2525".

Last time I listened to it, a few years ago, I noticed that the lyrics which
amounted to predictions were occurring at a rate perhaps 100x faster than
the lyrics defined them as happening.
