Stop me if you've heard this one before.
A man; or woman; comes up to you and asks if you would be
interested in working for 30 days at 1 cent for the first day, with the daily
rate to double for the 30 days. There is only one catch; at the end of the
month long assignment you can no longer work again; anywhere, at anything.
Do you take the job? Hopefully your answer is yes; because
the last 3 days alone with net you a whopping $11 million or so. Do the math,
it’s kind of fun and it gives you a whole new perspective on numbers.
Related to this would be artists royalties on records;
either as performers or writers; the pennies they receive each time their
records are played amount to millions over the period of just 1 year alone. And
those pennies; unlike the 30 day $11 million dollar deal above; go on forever.
The same process applies to pandemics. The first person gives
it to another person who gives it to 2 more who pass it on to 4 more, etc.,
etc. The Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1919 is a great case in point. The same is
also true of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980’s.
Numbers have always fascinated me; even when I was failing
math in grammar school. I knew that there was a magic there which I couldn’t
decipher yet. Later; when I learned to navigate by the stars; I found the
numbers to be every bit as fascinating as I knew they would be. And still
are.

Great minds think alike, and as I was looking around on the net to see if anyone had posted on this before, I came up with the following site. Totally different articles about the same thing. That's what I love about the internet. Perspectives.
