Engelbart's law is the observation that the intrinsic rate of human performance is exponential. [further explanation needed] The law is named after Douglas Engelbart, whose work in augmenting human performance was explicitly based on the realization that although we use technology, the ability to improve on improvements (bootstrapping, "getting better at getting better") resides entirely ...
