This is one of the few books that I had high expectation for but chose to throw away after wading through the first chapters. Self-claimed originality and stifling pedantry are just the nature of “Bore-ology”.
評分這本書Amazon上很多人給瞭四星,我想可能理工科同學看起來更有感覺吧。對於我來說,那些例子連篇的專業單詞暫且不論,即使是IDEA,也好像有點剖析得過於細緻瞭點,像做外科手術一樣把科技肢解開,然後呢?然後說科技是建立在之前技術的基礎上的……當然不可否認,作者很賣力地很詳細地去解釋他的觀點,這點還是很considerate,但是對於一個彆人很好理解的點,有的時候也許不需要這麼長篇幅來作解吧。當然,也可能是我太淺薄瞭,沒有讀懂其中的精華所在。

"More than any thing else technology creates our world. It creates our wealth, our economy, our very way of being," says W. Brian Arthur. Yet, until now the major questions of technology have gone unanswered. Where do new technologies come from -- how exactly does invention work? What constitutes innovation, and how is it achieved? Why are certain regions -- Cambridge, England, in the 1920s and Silicon Valley today -- hotbeds of innovation, while others languish? Does technology, like biological life, evolve? How do new industries, and the economy itself, emerge from technologies? In this groundbreaking work, pioneering technology thinker and economist W. Brian Arthur sets forth a boldly original way of thinking about technology that gives answers to these questions. The Nature of Technology is an elegant and powerful theory of technology's origins and evolution. It achieves for the progress of technology what Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions did for scientific progress. Arthur explains how transformative new technologies arise and how innovation really works. Conventional thinking ascribes the invention of technologies to "thinking outside the box," or vaguely to genius or creativity, but Arthur shows that such explanations are inadequate. Rather, technologies are put together from pieces -- themselves technologies -- that already exist. Technologies therefore share common ancestries and combine, morph, and combine again to create further technologies. Technology evolves much as a coral reef builds itself from activities of small organisms -- it creates itself from itself; all technologies are descended from earlier technologies. Drawing on a wealth of examples, from historical inventions to the high-tech wonders of today, and writing in wonder fully engaging and clear prose, Arthur takes us on a mind-opening journey that will change the way we think about technology and how it structures our lives.
我刚刚在想,为什么我要说阿瑟夸夸其谈、哗众取宠呢?即使他啰里八嗦就说了一个核心观点,然后又东拉西扯做了一些不准确的类比和扩展,也没有必要这么刻薄人家呀。等我想要说,他的核心观点是“技术是模块化构成”之后,然后说他的其他一些似是而非的观点的时候我自己才明白过...
評分 評分传统写作都讲求有立意、有提纲,但读《技术的本质》时,觉得是否可以换个思路:不考虑具体的立意与提纲,先写小的部分。 “技术都是某种组合”。这意味着什么呢?具体技术都是由不同层级组件构成的。再者组件本身也是由各类元件组成的(技术的递归性),技术会受最基础的元件制...
評分作者当然大名鼎鼎,没的说。但是: 1.内容真的一般,关于技术的进化并没有交代的令人信服; 2.比起KK的作品,想象力远不如,变现力也不好; 3.作者的的优势在技术和经济的结合之处,但缺乏描述,不知是何原因; 4.湛庐的商业化运作太过操切; 5.请来写序的清华教授其实真心不懂...
