Star Wars has been shot on an iPhone (close enough)

In 2007, I discussed how human brains can't compute Moore's law and, in general, any exponential change. Moore's law, being famous since the late 70s for describing how computing power doubles roughly every year and a half for the same cost, has been one of the most prominent exponential drivers of market change. Or, to put it simply, "tech innovation". My 2007 shortcut to exponential transformation was that, soon enough, a $455 million movie could be shot with consumer-grade mobile devices.  

When Star Wars will be shot on iPhone – Innovation Copilots

As much as we are lead to believe, innovation is rarely straightforward and understandable. We think we get it from a TED talk or a trendy book, but it’s essentially the same as learning paragliding through YouTube. No one serious would recommend that. When I need people to understand

And we'll probably stay in disbelief for a while.
