We're living in an age where technology is becoming so incredibly powerful that it's not just like having a slightly better car or a slightly nicer house. These days, the divide is between people who are using technology to become almost superhuman.

Think about someone who has mastered how to use a computer, who can connect to anyone in the world, can access any piece of knowledge they want, has taken dozens of online courses on any topic you can imagine. The divide between that group and everyone else who doesn't have those advantages just gets wider and wider.

The average person with a personal computer connected to the internet has resources, informational resources, that the president of the United States did not have even just 20 or 30 years ago. And they're using those resources; they're using them to become even better, even faster, even richer.

I think that's the main reason the divide is getting worse: it's simply the compounding advantages on this side of the divide that aren't available to everyone else.
