As author, futurist, and inventor Kurzweil shared in his talk at the CEO Cloud Summit last year, innovators and entrepreneurs should internalize this exponential rate of progression before launching their projects. By doing so, they can put themselves in a position to accurately time projects — and best take advantage of tomorrow’s capabilities as soon as they are available. See the video below.

Kurzweil is one of the world’s leading inventors, thinkers and futurists, with a 30 year track record of accurate predictions. Called a restless genius by The Wall Street Journal and the ultimate thinking machine by Forbes magazine, Kurzweil was selected as one of the top entrepreneurs by Inc. magazine, which described him as the rightful heir to Thomas Edison.
