About This Quote
When it comes to technology, nothing can stop progress. There is always a workaround for any problem that comes up, and the rate of progress is exponential. Further, to keep up with technology, you must first understand it. This quote uses the term “small furry mammals” to refer to companies like Google and Facebook, who are using exponentially advancing technology like social media, mobile banking and GPS-enabled phones to take advantage of digitalization. The idea is that if these small mammals don't take advantage of their opportunities now, they will be extinct.
