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.

最近几年,关于技术革命的说法有很多,“新工业革命”“第三次工业革命” 第二次机器革命“互联网时代”“大数据时代”“工业4.0”,而“第二次机器革命”的说法是第一次听说。各种说法其实大同小异,只是对这次技术革命的观察角度不一样罢了。Erik Brynjofsson和Andrew McAfee...
评分总体来说,这本书的内容不是十分令人赞叹。 虽然提出了过去的发展情景、未来的发展趋势,但是总体上并没有预测到一个十分令人震惊的未来,或许因为看多了科幻小说的我觉得这样的改变是稀松平常了吧。 有这么几点,值得重视。 一是指数型增长,原书引用了 Albert A. Bartlett ...
评分 评分简单写几点: 1. 一次机器时代释放了physical power,二次机器时代会增加(or replace) human cognitive power.; 2. 二次机器时代的三个关键点:exponential, digital and combinatorial— specifically: exponential:很多领域会遵循摩尔定律,发展速度是指数级别,例如下围...

评分由蒸汽机引发的工业革命带领人类走入第一个机器时代,如今互联网、3D打印等技术宣布第二个机器时代的到来。@mywiz
评分人工智能的发展现状,未来的可能趋势,对社会经济人类生活的可能影响,以及一些对策思路。 覆盖的材料够宽,立场尚属公允。 虽然有时会出现稍显罗嗦的情况。 可以续着《信息简史》阅读。
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。
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。
