I mean, that would be an example of what's called linear growth. For each step forward in time, you move the same step upward to get this nice, straight line. That's easy to deal with. Rather, data growth has been exponential. Here I take the exact same line but I put it way down here because here's an exponential curve. This is actually two to the power of X, and you don't even get to see how far it goes over to 10 because, at that point, it's got a value of over 1,000. 1,024 to be exact. That's a whole lot more than the 10 we had with linear growth. This is huge, but you know what? The data revolution is growing even faster than this. We can shrink that one down and we can draw a curve that shows the X to the X. So, we take the number on the…
