Why has median income stopped rising in the US?
Why is the share of population that is working falling so rapidly?
Why are our economy and society are becoming more unequal?
A popular explanation right now is that the root cause underlying these symptoms is technological stagnation-- a slowdown in the kinds of ideas and inventions that bring progress and prosperity.
In Race Against the Machine, MIT's Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee present a very different explanation. Drawing on research by their team at the Center for Digital Business, they show that there's been no stagnation in technology -- in fact, the digital revolution is accelerating. Recent advances are the stuff of science fiction: computers now drive cars in traffic, translate between human languages effectively, and beat the best human Jeopardy! players.
As these examples show, digital technologies are rapidly encroaching on skills that used to belong to humans alone. This phenomenon is both broad and deep, and has profound economic implications. Many of these implications are positive; digital innovation increases productivity, reduces prices (sometimes to zero), and grows the overall economic pie.
But digital innovation has also changed how the economic pie is distributed, and here the news is not good for the median worker. As technology races ahead, it can leave many people behind. Workers whose skills have been mastered by computers have less to offer the job market, and see their wages and prospects shrink. Entrepreneurial business models, new organizational structures and different institutions are needed to ensure that the average worker is not left behind by cutting-edge machines.
In Race Against the Machine Brynjolfsson and McAfee bring together a range of statistics, examples, and arguments to show that technological progress is accelerating, and that this trend has deep consequences for skills, wages, and jobs. The book makes the case that employment prospects are grim for many today not because there's been technology has stagnated, but instead because we humans and our organizations aren't keeping up.

有意思
评分高级!要不被机器取代,就要从这几个方面着力:直觉,创造性,理解,愉悦。以往这些被看作“软技能”,以后它们是唯一需要人类的领域。
评分立论有力,分析简洁。一句话总结how human win the race against machine:数学公式 n!>2^n,即combinatorial explosion outgrows exponential trend, eg. Moore's Law.
评分现在再看是same old stories了。适合刚刚开始了解这方面研究的人。
评分MIT两位大神拉的屎
无人驾驶的汽车穿行于闹市街区,手机里的一个声音回答你提出的所有问题,超级机器人打败人类拿走Jeopard!(美国一个长青的机智问答节目)大奖……只要对科技新闻稍有了解的人都应知道,这根本不是科幻作品中的场景,而是正在发生的现实。我们一度以为自己清楚,相对于机器而言,...
