Synergy

Technical progress in one area often interacts synergenetically with progress in other areas. These interactions create positive feedback effects in technical development, and occur more frequently as time passes. The following technologies interact (in many of these, exponential progress occurs): biotechnology; computer software; computer power, data storage, and memory; Internet bandwidth, connectivity, and transmission speed; microelectrical mechanical systems (MEMS); nanotechnology; neurotechnology; wireless data services; and the WWW. Synergetic interactions in technical progress will continually reduce general AI's development time. (source)
