My older cousin at the checkout line said, "I don't join clubs."
The Age of Information:
The Age of Information has dawned.
While I write this, our world is in the chrysalis.
Our body is liquefying as old structures built on guesses and lies crumble down.
Be courageous! Rejoice that we will form a new body.
And we will crawl out of our chrysalis; we'll unfurl our wings, and we will fly.

The Changing of Ages
Ages are defined by rules.
Rules are created by circumstances.
For Humanity, circumstances are tied to technological capability.
The Stone Age...
The Iron Age...
The Industrial Age...
And now,
The Information Age.
We can now produce complex and creative media to express ourselves.
We can share our information globally and instantly.
The rules have changed.
The old rules are broken.
The ship is accelerating.
Hold on tight!

The Acceleration
Time goes by so quickly now.
One part of the core of our existence is Pure Math.
Throughout history, advances in the ability to do math have accelerated the pace of progress.
New ways to do math such as algebra or calculus have offered accelerations.
New tools to do math such as the abacus or the protractor have offered accelerations.
But now we have the computer which itself is accelerating.
Every two years since the first computer, processing speed has doubled.
And soon quantum computers will provide a quantum leap.
The pace of most research and development is directly related to the pace we can perform calculations.
Doubling every two years.
Quantum leap.
Our pace of discovery is exponentially increasing by the moment.
Time goes by so quickly now.
And it's only getting faster and faster and faster.
