Hi Folks,

I recently read this:

   Now that health technology is an information technology
   and subject to the exponential progress that underlies
   all information technology ...

   The power of information technology doubles every year,
   within a decade these technologies will be a thousand 
   times more powerful than they are today and a million
   times more powerful in 2 decades.

Wow!


XML is an information technology. We are 11 years into XML. 

So ....

XML has enabled (facilitated) a two-thousand-times increase in _______. (Please fill in the blank)


And for comparison:

JSON is an information technology. We are, say, 7 years into JSON. 

So ....

JSON has enabled (facilitated) a hundred-times increase in _______. (Please fill in the blank)

/Roger
