Science in an exponential world

Article Abstract:

Most scientists replace their notebooks with desktop computers that record their results, provide a portal to the scientific literature and link them to collaborators via e-mail and perform data analysis. Databases provide tools to organize large data sets, find objects that match certain criteria, compute statistics about the data and analyze them to find patterns, but have to evolve and be constantly updated to keep pace with scientists working in experiments experiencing exponential growth.
