expect exponential progress

Expect exponential progress The Christian Science Monitor - Fri Apr 18, 4:00 AM ET Sent 464 times

Massachusetts Institute of Technology was so advanced in 1965 that it actually had a computer. Housed in its own building, it cost $11 million (in today's dollars) and was shared by all students and faculty. Four decades later, the computer in your cellphone is a million times smaller, a million times less expensive, and a thousand times more powerful. That's a billionfold increase in the amount of computation you can buy per dollar.

With this ever increasing exponential progress we might expect nano technology to create terraforming and atmosphere restructuring subroutines to save us from Global Climate Change caused by the degradation of the ecology from overpopulation worldwide. Yes.It is possible that nano technology used for atmospheric and terraforming purposes could save us if the exponential change of technology doesn't kill us first by accident.
