Experimental singularity

The singularity is a very half-baked idea out in the "real world" beyond these hallowed precincts. The flakey speculation is that as the rate of tech progress increases, stuff happens faster and faster in an exponential growth until too much stuff tries to happen at the same time and the world comes to an end or something.

Proposed is an ambitious dispersed collective sociotechnographic experiment to simulate or model such a phenomenon.

How it works: All contributing users of the halfbakery are automatically signed up.

Each contributing user starts a spreadsheet where they record how often they log in, annotate, vote or post an idea.

Once everyone has done that and can see their average current rate, they paste a formula into the next column of the spreadsheet which tells them what time they need to log in, or post, or whatever.

The formula increments the rate of activity at an exponential rate, such that by the end of the week the activity rate of all users will trend towards infinity.
