The Exponential Technology Revolution
summary
A startup builds a circuit-imaging machine using thousand lasers and computer vision to reach 10 micron accuracy, cutting board production speed by roughly tenfold; that plan is abandoned when a scientist ships a 3D metal printer two years later that removes the debinding step with water and promises ~100x gains, and three units sell. Other specifics cited: 85% of PCBs are made in Asia, genome sequencing falls from ~$100k to ~$100, and top tech firms report ~$1.8M profit per employee.
