5000天後的世界:繼網際網路、iPhone、社群網站之後,全球科技趨勢大師KK的未來預測

5000天後的世界:繼網際網路、iPhone、社群網站之後,全球科技趨勢大師KK的未來預測
趨勢思想家Kevin Kelly的未來思考術 繼《必然》與《科技想要什麼?》,最重要的未來說明書 ◎吳其勳(iThome總編輯)專文推薦 全球資訊網開放的5000天,大約是13年左右的時間內,資訊交流有了全新的樣貌與方式:大至地球的衛星影像、氣象雲圖,小至想買的東西、朋友的近況,都可以在網路上看到。維基百科、Google地圖、YouTube相繼出現,由所有使用者共同編輯、產出的內容就像聚寶盆裡的財寶一樣,從此不斷增加。從部落格到Facebook、Twitter等社群網站的發展也加速了網路的發展。 KK與他神準的科技預言 2007年,全球科技趨勢大師凱文‧凱利(KK)發表了全世界瘋狂轉貼的科技新預言:他回顧了過去5000天的科技發展,提出了一個問題:「未來5000天會發生什麼事?」KK大膽斷言,未來將會是物聯網的世界,所有的設備都將連結在一起。他提到車子將不再只是車子,大半的成本將來自晶片而不是車體本身。他也很早就注意到,在網路的時代「注意力就是貨幣」,如今,社群、點閱率已經成為所有行銷工作的關注重點。 科技的未來是屬於亞洲的世界 日本科技記者大野和基和服部桂訪問凱文‧凱利對於5000天後的想法,整理成這本科技預測。KK預測人工智慧、擴增實境、加密貨幣將成為未來引領潮流的關鍵,糧食、交通、金融、能源與教育等領域也將迎來革命性的變動。這些趨勢更將引起地緣政治上,經濟中心的偏移:引領下一個5000天的不會是GAFA(Google、Amazon、Facebook、Apple)這些科技巨頭,更可能是來自亞洲的新勢力。除此之外,在接下來的5000個日子中,將比起過去5000天發生更大的變化。而且這些變化大多將不會發生在物理層面,而是人際關係、工作型態與地緣政治等等面向。 接下來會發生什麼? 台灣版特別邀請KK親自為台灣版專文作序,更新近百個日子來的科技現狀與未來展望。書末KK更提出如何在瞬息萬變的世界取得成功與創新的方法。延續《科技想要什麼》中聆聽科技想法、擁抱未來的思想,本書是緊抓科技與產業趨勢的導覽手冊,是展望未來不可不讀的一本未來導讀。 一致推薦 陳良基 前科技部部長 詹文男 數位轉型學院共同創辦人暨院長 蔡依橙 「陪你看國際新聞」創辦人 盧希鵬 台灣科技大學資訊管理系特聘教授

科技想要什麼

release date: Nov 12, 2020
科技想要什麼
唯有看透科技真正的欲求,才能掌握趨勢,領導趨勢! 看得比賈伯斯更遠的數位時代教父 1984年–他預言網際網路時代的來臨 1986年–他召集第一次電腦駭客集會 1992年–他預言web 2.0的出現 1995年–他預言臉書、維基等群體網站出現 1999年–他的著作《釋控》成為「駭客任務」的背景 2007年–他的演說《網路未來五千天》,成為全世界瘋狂轉貼的科技新預言 他帶領《連線》雜誌兩度奪得美國國家雜誌獎,他編輯的《全球概覽》雜誌,更是賈伯斯那句「Stay hungry, Stay foolish」的出處。 他是,凱文.凱利。 科技主宰了現代社會,科技想要什麼? 我們每個人或多或少都有這樣的疑惑: ✔充斥科技的現代生活符合自然嗎? ✔新產品如雪片般飛來,我應該花時間去學習如何使用嗎? ✔科技,到底要帶我們往哪裡去? ✔我們渴望科技帶來的各種好處,卻又想要減少個人欲求。現代人的生活在這兩種思維間來回拉扯,我們與科技的關係充滿矛盾。在這樣的情況下,究竟該如何思考? 本書是科技教父凱文.凱利的思想菁華,他把這幾年對科技的觀察與想像整理在書中,並且提出了全新的觀點。他認為科技是一個整體,不光只是雜亂的電線和金屬,而是活生生的自然系統。正如生物演化具備了無意識的趨勢,科技也一樣;它會自我成長,持續進化。而透過這些長遠的趨勢,我們可以了解「科技想要什麼」。 凱文推斷了未來幾十年內科技的十多條走向,包括科技永無滿足、不斷製造頭腦的傾向。他的新科技理論提供我們三門實用的課程: 一、聆聽科技想要什麼,我們更能為自己和下一代做好準備,面對必然會出現的科技。 二、主動進擊,積極參與,我們能夠引導科技發揮更好的功效。 三、在類似生物的科技系統中,配合長期的規則,我們便能取得科技全盤的優點。 《科技想要什麼》帶領我們看透科技真正的欲求,進一步掌握科技的特點,以及未來的發展趨勢。於是,我們終於有可能在科技無所不在的新時代,領先世界,預知未來! ☆Amazon讀者45篇書評,四顆星好評推薦! 科技媒體名人強力推薦 何飛鵬 城邦集團首席執行長 吳其勳 iThome總編輯 吳顯二 癮科技站長 李世光 資策會董事長 李怡志 政大新聞系副教授 林之晨 AppWorks董事長暨合夥人 施典志 自由部落客 徐爵民 台灣奈米技術產業發展協會創會理事長 梁永煌 《今周刊》社長 許毓仁 台灣玉山科技協會秘書長 黃哲斌 天下雜誌特約記者 詹宏志 PChome董事長 詹偉雄 《數位時代》創辦人 鄭國威 泛科知識公司知識長 戴季全 流線傳媒創辦人

釋控:從中央思想到群體思維,看懂科技的生物趨勢
我們擁抱科技,也以為自己可以掌握科技。但現在該是讓科技自由的時候了。 ? ◆《WIRED》共同創辦人,科技趨勢大師KK第一本科技經典 ◆了解比特幣、虛擬實境、人工智慧等現代趨勢的重要著作 ◆啟發《駭客任務》的科技啟示錄 ? 1993年,全球資訊網(WWW)剛剛起步,網際網路正式推向全球。而在1994年,KK便在這本書中預言了網路世代接下來30年,甚至50年的發展。我們至今的所有科技發展,竟然幾乎都在他的預料之中!然而,他帶給我們的不只是科技的預言,更是如何觀察科技的一個創新觀點。 網路、人工智慧以及虛擬貨幣等新興產業變幻莫測,讓人難以捉摸;而我們總是試圖控制、主導科技的發展。在本書中,KK帶我們了解科技的本質與變化趨勢,描繪一個人類、科技與整個地球生命網路的共同未來。 ? 科技也是生物——想要贏,先放手 早在工業革命發生以前,我們就已經相當依賴科技的發明。而在文明演化的過程中,我們也愈來愈仰賴科技。但是,在我們將創造力還有自我控制的能力交給機器之後,我們也即將失去對科技的控制。在失去控制之後,我們會得到什麼? ? 一加一等於蘋果——群體的智慧 一窩大舉遷徙的蜜蜂是怎麼決定要去哪裡的?複雜的科技常常參考自然界的群體,就如同分散式運算正在變成人工智慧的重要趨勢。KK告訴我們:有時候,一個完整的智慧是從聚集在一起的微小意識中浮現出來的。這樣的智慧不僅是昆蟲的生存手段,可能更是讓地球蓬勃發展的重要因素。 ? 演化是一種趨勢——從生物到科技 演化,自達爾文那革命性的《物種源始》之後就一直承襲著「天擇」以及「隨機突變」這兩大觀念。但是,愈來愈多科學家認為,這個理論並不完善:複雜的眼睛是怎麼在不同物種間演化的?隨機突變真的是演化的唯一動力嗎?從個體到族群、物種到生態系,更從生物界到科技界, KK擴展了演化的概念,也說明演化或許不只是一個生命現象。 ? KK以生物演化適應的角度觀察科技做為一個物種的未來,並從中理解到科技需要的並不是命令和控制。我們應該引導科技,讓科技自由發展,這或許才是與科技和平共處的解答。 ? 【好評推薦】 本書作者以最廣義的定義探討生命是甚麼的問題。……作者以物質而非以人為觀察的重點探討生命的意義,讓我們重新檢視人的意義……這是一本非常精彩的書,值得閱讀。 ——楊乃女(國立高雄師範大學英語系副教授) 充滿獨到見解、引人入勝的人物與發人深省的主題。 ——《哈佛商業評論》 所有的高階主管都必須閱讀此書……有趣而充滿洞見。 ——《財富》雜誌 這是一本由實際研究、不帶偏見的理論以及有趣的軼聞軼事編織而成,關於世界是如何組織的充滿靈魂的書。 ——《獨立報》 本書提醒我們,自我組織……是創新、進步與生命本身的精髓。書中談的都是永恆的概念,而他們的時代即將來臨。 ——《富比士ASAP》? 出版社 貓頭鷹 (城邦)

L'inevitabile
Come vivremo fra trent''anni? Non siamo ancora in grado di prevedere il futuro, ma alcune risposte sono certe, o quasi. Per esempio, non avremo un''auto di proprietà: pagheremo per abbonarci a un servizio di mobilità e trasporto da utilizzare all''occorrenza. Anzi, non possederemo quasi nulla, ma quando ci servirà qualcosa potremo accedervi facilmente. La realtà virtuale sarà ormai «reale», farà parte di qualsiasi telefono cellulare. Dialogheremo con tutti i nostri dispositivi elettronici grazie a una serie predefi nita di gesti, e tutte le superfi ci saranno coperte di schermi interattivi, ognuno dei quali ricambierà puntualmente i nostri sguardi. Tutti gli aspetti della nostra vita quotidiana saranno tracciabili e registrabili, da noi stessi ma anche dagli altri. I robot e le macchine pensanti ci avranno rimpiazzati nei vecchi impieghi, ma non resteremo senza lavoro, perché nel frattempo proprio quelle tecnologie avranno creato nuove occupazioni. Trent''anni fa Kevin Kelly – uno dei fondatori della rivista Wired – previde che l''avvento di Internet avrebbe rivoluzionato il mondo. L''inevitabile descrive – con il saggio ottimismo che è proprio dei grandi visionari – la strada che l''innovazione sta tracciando per i prossimi decenni. Leggendo queste pagine saremo catapultati in un futuro nel quale l''intelligenza artifi ciale e immense reti di dati e saperi avranno permeato di conoscenza ogni aspetto della realtà umana; e tutto sarà fl uido, accessibile, condivisibile, interattivo e sempre in divenire. La prosa entusiasmante di Kelly ci farà vivere le nostre vite future, e osserveremo il nostro nuovo modo di lavorare, apprendere, giocare, comprare, comunicare con gli altri. Le forze tecnologiche che stanno riplasmando la società sono già attive, sono interdipendenti, e sono soprattutto inarrestabili. È inutile opporsi. Dobbiamo invece predisporci ad accogliere la complessa e stupefacente convergenza tra l''umanità e le macchine, una sinergia che spezzerà ogni confi ne nazionale e ogni legge dell''economia, e che a volte potrà produrre caos e scontento, ma porterà soprattutto straordinari benefi ci individuali e sociali.

The Inevitable

The Inevitable
A New York Times Bestseller From one of our leading technology thinkers and writers, a guide through the twelve technological imperatives that will shape the next thirty years and transform our lives Much of what will happen in the next thirty years is inevitable, driven by technological trends that are already in motion. In this fascinating, provocative new book, Kevin Kelly provides an optimistic road map for the future, showing how the coming changes in our lives—from virtual reality in the home to an on-demand economy to artificial intelligence embedded in everything we manufacture—can be understood as the result of a few long-term, accelerating forces. Kelly both describes these deep trends—interacting, cognifying, flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, tracking, and questioning—and demonstrates how they overlap and are codependent on one another. These larger forces will completely revolutionize the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other. By understanding and embracing them, says Kelly, it will be easier for us to remain on top of the coming wave of changes and to arrange our day-to-day relationships with technology in ways that bring forth maximum benefits. Kelly’s bright, hopeful book will be indispensable to anyone who seeks guidance on where their business, industry, or life is heading—what to invent, where to work, in what to invest, how to better reach customers, and what to begin to put into place—as this new world emerges.

What Technology Wants

release date: Oct 14, 2010
What Technology Wants
From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Inevitable— a sweeping vision oftechnology as a living force that can expand our individual potential This provocative book introduces a brand-new view of technology. It suggests that technology as a whole is not a jumble of wires and metal but a living, evolving organism that has its own unconscious needs and tendencies. Kevin Kelly looks out through the eyes of this global technological system to discover "what it wants." He uses vivid examples from the past to trace technology''s long course and then follows a dozen trajectories of technology into the near future to project where technology is headed. This new theory of technology offers three practical lessons: By listening to what technology wants we can better prepare ourselves and our children for the inevitable technologies to come. By adopting the principles of pro-action and engagement, we can steer technologies into their best roles. And by aligning ourselves with the long-term imperatives of this near-living system, we can capture its full gifts. Written in intelligent and accessible language, this is a fascinating, innovative, and optimistic look at how humanity and technology join to produce increasing opportunities in the world and how technology can give our lives greater meaning.
