At the beginning he emphasized, he hasn't had a clue
upfront. Sorry, but why should he be able to predict
evolvement from now on?
So the "machine" is doubling its capacity every second year and we'll reach the processing power of humanity in some decades. At the same time the Internet causes 5% of global energy consumption already today! I am aware that doubling processing power is not equivalent to doubling power consumption, but we'll better make some headway and pay a lot more attention to efficiency, otherwise energy will throw a spanner in the chap's vision sooner than later...
Wow!
