Exponential improvement in computer gear is one of three fundamental forces enabling what the authors call 'The Second Machine Age'. They describe how innovation is being propelled by vast numbers of powerful-but-cheap devices (smartphones), each equipped with an array of processors, sensors and transmitters. They describe how services like Waze only became feasible in the past few years because of accumulated digital power increases and cost declines. Data are the lifeblood of science, they argue, and as a result, the second force powering the Second Machine age is digitization, which increases understanding by making huge amounts of data readily accessible. Thanks to the first two forces, a new style of innovation has emerged that adds social and sensor data to an existing system, greatly increasing its power and usefulness. This approach to innovation is the third and last of the forces shaping the Second Machine Age.
