A revolution is under way.
In recent years, Google’s autonomous cars have logged thousands of miles on American highways and IBM’s Watson trounced the best human Jeopardy! players. Digital technologies—with hardware, software, and networks at their core—will in the near future diagnose diseases more accurately than doctors can, apply enormous data sets to transform retailing, and accomplish many tasks once considered uniquely human.
In The Second Machine Age MIT’s Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee—two thinkers at the forefront of their field—reveal the forces driving the reinvention of our lives and our economy. As the full impact of digital technologies is felt, we will realize immense bounty in the form of dazzling personal technology, advanced infrastructure, and near-boundless access to the cultural items that enrich our lives.
Amid this bounty will also be wrenching change. Professions of all kinds—from lawyers to truck drivers—will be forever upended. Companies will be forced to transform or die. Recent economic indicators reflect this shift: fewer people are working, and wages are falling even as productivity and profits soar.
Drawing on years of research and up-to-the-minute trends, Brynjolfsson and McAfee identify the best strategies for survival and offer a new path to prosperity. These include revamping education so that it prepares people for the next economy instead of the last one, designing new collaborations that pair brute processing power with human ingenuity, and embracing policies that make sense in a radically transformed landscape.
we think about issues of technological, societal, and economic progress.

评分 评分这本书讨论第二个机器时代带来的影响(bounty & spread),以及如何消除其不良影响。但除了提出创新还包括重组型创新(recombinant innovation)外,作者其实并没有讲什么新的东西。关于重组型创新是否能支持未来劳动生产率的增长,我们是否真的处于快速增长的前夜——棋盘的第...
评分促使人类进一步开发脑力 新石器时代,不是因为石头不够用了,而是出现了比石头坚硬百倍的青铜器。第二次机器革命会解放人类的体力,促使人类进一步开发脑力。 工业时代,工人靠出卖体力谋生。第二次机器革命,也许工人得靠出卖初级脑力谋生。 脑力活动分为高级脑力、初级脑力活...
读到第一章。还可以。比较学术。Brynjolfsson论文里所用的方法让人有些泄气。

评分读到第一章。还可以。比较学术。Brynjolfsson论文里所用的方法让人有些泄气。
评分废话太多,有凑字数之嫌。还好全书都是大方向正确的观点,比如增加H1B名额。CIS 9230教材
评分似乎说过这本书的宗旨就是,让计算机技术来的更猛烈些吧,终于仔细万看了。从一个研究扩充出来的一本书,美国人对于尖端技术应用的挖掘和创造确实让人叹为观止,但是如何遍及普罗大众而不是沦为极客权贵的后花园还是个问题。
