Some Basic Economics:
(Digital that is ...)



  • Moores Law:
    Computing Power Doubles every 18 months (or it costs drops by 50%)

  • Gilders Law:
    Total Bandwidth tripples every 13 months

  • Metcalf's Law:
    The value of a network is the square of the number of it's users.

  • Ronald Coase in 1937:
    The Modern Industrial Organization is a result of Market Inefficiencies. They reduce the trnasaction cost of repeated and complicated activities involved in creating, selling, and distributing goods and services. (It's cheaper to do it in-house rather than on the open market!)

  • Law of Dimminishing Firms: As transaction costs in the open market approach zero, do does the size of the firm.

  • Law of Disruption:
    As Social Systems improve Incrementally, Technology improves Exponentially.

    (Todays Digital Revolution generates considerable stress as it interacts with systems that are slower to change.)
