Processing is Power: As technology keeps evolving at a rapid pace, making processing more powerful, this means technology bringing in new possibilities.

More of the Same Can Be a Whole New Thing:  Exponential growth can go unnoticed until it makes a big noticeable impact, and falling behind, failing to recognize this growth can have major consequences.
