The consequence of the above is the result of a massive increase in computing power in the hands of
more and more people
The consequence of a massive increase in computing power is driven by (1) software capable of
translating ever more complicated information into binary code an algorithm, (2) that instructs ever
more sophisticated hardware, e.g. robots, e.g. visual sensors
The collection and storage of massive amounts of data thanks to computing power
The ability to analyze these data thanks to computing power, and thus to isolate patterns that no
human could.
