Editor’s Take: The technology tipping point

By
“How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.” That snippet of dialogue from Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises is a handy summation of the nature of change. Things go along for a while — often a good long while — in a certain mould, and
