Exponential Technologies and Future Scenarios

The development of technologies in recent years has pervaded any sector radically transforming business models and workflows. At the base of this dramatic change is the exponential growth that began in the 1960s and theorized by Gordon Moore, according to which the complexity of a microcircuit, measured for example by the number of transistors per chip, doubles every 18 months. The “Exponential technologies” neologism is born on the basis of the “exponential” character associated with the intrinsic meaning of the term “technologies”, as tools that allow you to achieve goals and solve problems that were not attainable until now due to a high ratio between price and quality. These technologies, developed in specific sectors, have acquired over the years the character of “disruptive innovation”, that is, they have occupied new sectors, creating new markets, breaking down old paradigms by virtue of their high effectiveness and cost ratio. At the base of the “exponential technologies” there are also some common characteristics that distinguish their growth and diffusion, as well as the potential of these to have a positive impact on 1 billion people in the world in 10 years; Deception, Digitization, Demonetized, Dematerialized, Democratize.
