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.

评分这本书的两位作者是埃里克·布莱恩约弗森和安德鲁·麦卡菲,都任职于麻省理工斯隆管理学院。书的主题是数字化技术如何改变我们的经济和社会,这样庞大的话题,学院派的有理有据在这里发挥不错。很值得一读。 一、社会发展如何量化 技术如何改变我们的经...
1. 人类有史以来最重要的事件是工业革命(佐证:有史以来全球人口数量在工业革命后实现了指数增长);2.工业革命将人从体力的限制里解放出来,我们现在所面临的机器革命(AI,Robotics etc.)会把人从脑力的限制里解放出来;3.在这个新的时代,生产力会有前所未有的增长,与此同时,收入、财富差距也会急剧增加,赢者通吃将成为惯例,大量工作将会消失。
评分总体新意不多,有些观点值得思考。罗列了太多他人研究成果,深度欠缺。
