Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
The Second Machine Revolution is a book full of positivity and wisdom. The Second Machine Revolution will change the way we think about technology, society and economic development. Globalization was the most important economic topic in the late 20th century, as evidenced by The World is Flat; in the early 21st century, technological change will become a hot topic in society, as evidenced by The Second Machine Revolution.
In The Second Machine Revolution, Eric Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, two thinkers at the forefront of the digital age, explain the forces driving change in our economy and our lives. They believe that digital technology will bring us unimaginable changes: imagine dazzling personal digital technology products and first-class infrastructure, which will bring us great convenience. In the near future, digital technology (its core is hardware, software and networks) will be able to diagnose diseases more accurately than doctors, use massive amounts of data to change the retail industry, and complete many tasks in a very human way.
While digital technology brings us great convenience, it also brings permanent and disruptive changes to various professions. Various companies will be forced to transform, otherwise they will die. With precise research on digital technology and social development trends, Brian Josephson and McAfee have identified survival and development strategies, and also found a new path to social development and prosperity.
In the next few decades, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation will form a historic intersection with the development of human society, and engineering technology progress and innovation will become an important engine to promote the development of human society. For China, the historical mission of building an innovative country has begun, and China's manufacturing industry is also facing imminent global challenges. When the second wave of machine revolution hits, how should the Chinese government, Chinese companies and individuals face this drastic change?
