内容简介
······
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.

2章弃。是给文科生科普用的，隔靴搔痒。一个exponential growth都能翻来覆去讲那么多，敢不敢不举大米放棋盘的故事！
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。
生造名词。第一次机器革命就是第一次工业革命，mechanical power的出现；第二次机器革命是mental power的改进。第二次机器革命出现的原因是指数增长式的改进、数字化和组合式创新。后果是赢者通吃、收入差距扩大。政策建议是多引进国外人才。
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
