This video is part of Big Think’s collaboration with Singularity University on Exponential Technology. Chris Anderson, curator of TED Talks, explains how the plummeting price of bandwidth about a decade ago opened opportunities for new innovation to grow. Suddenly it was possible for TED to transmit its talks via the web at virtually no cost. This was just one example of Moore’s Law in action. Similar breakthroughs have consistently changed the face of communications with low-cost, high-bandwidth internet opening doors for Facebook and Google, among others.


In late January 2015, Big Think, where the world’s leading thinkers examine the most essential ideas of our age, and Singularity University, a teaching organization and accelerator, came together to find definitive answers to what constitutes exponential leadership — true leadership for the age of exponential disruption. Chris Anderson is featured in the resulting 2015 Exponential Leaders List.
