What happened to the dodo? Darwinism. As humans settled on the island of Mauritius, bringing rats, cats, pigs and monkeys with them, the dodo became easy prey for humans and animals. The dodo could not adapt to disruptive changes in its environment, and in less than 200 years after its discovery, the flightless bird became extinct.
The same concept applies to the 21st century business world—adapt or die. However, we don’t have 200 years to see how things work out. Moore’s law states that computer processing speed doubles every two years, and as Ray Kurzweil wrote about the law of accelerating returns: “We won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century—it will be more like 20,000 years of progress.”
