Demand driven technology cycles are accelerating several technologies at an ever faster rate. Batteries and energy storage are some of the best examples of this, with literally scores of technologies under development. The variety of technologies in the area are pushing at least one hundred types and variations across a whole range of scales and products, ranging from products as small as hearing aids to powering cities. The diversity of technologies under development is only increasing the number of solutions needed across the spectrum of demand. The tech sector has become the equivalent of a thermonuclear reaction that compounds at an ever accelerating rate. Society has now come to the point where the business and social ecosystem changes brought on by this have radically changed and are passing up our ability to adapt to radical shifts. This is but one reason Apple is the largest company on the planet offering a carefully managed rapidly advancing ecosystem designed with smooth transitions that allow those within it to keep up better than any other keep and utilize the gains it achieves. It's interesting that TSM does the same thing on the supply side of this ecosystem and is the largest pure semiconductor company on the planet. Both these companies have developed symbiotic ecosystems to support themselves that literally involve trillions in capital and comprise an ecosystem that dwarfs most countries in size and is growing faster than almost any political/business construct on earth. Due to this, we have to look forward to the "Great Acceleration" that I wrote about many years ago, it is here and now, forcing every personal, social, governmental, and business ecosystem to adapt and grow or die.
