一群技术狂人和鬼才程序员如何改变世界? 一开始看到这个副标题,我以为是教程序员怎样去改变世界;翻开之后才发现原来这是一部信息技术的编年史,介绍了近两个世纪以来计算机和互联网的发展历程,以及那些背后推动着的创新者们;看完之后,其实书中借由展示这段科技史,探究“...
评分边读边记的一些零散思考, 1. 说到七个女性程序员在男性们开庆功会的夜晚走在寒冷的二月的回家路上的时候不由心酸。我和男朋友说早期software被看作是“女性弱项”的东西的时候,是由许多了不起的女性做测试,甚至最早的开源也是女性写的。他说是啊现在就是把测试扔给女性程序...

Following his blockbuster biography of Steve Jobs, The Innovators is Walter Isaacson’s revealing story of the people who created the computer and the Internet. It is destined to be the standard history of the digital revolution and an indispensable guide to how innovation really happens.
What were the talents that allowed certain inventors and entrepreneurs to turn their visionary ideas into disruptive realities? What led to their creative leaps? Why did some succeed and others fail?
In his masterly saga, Isaacson begins with Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron’s daughter, who pioneered computer programming in the 1840s. He explores the fascinating personalities that created our current digital revolution, such as Vannevar Bush, Alan Turing, John von Neumann, J.C.R. Licklider, Doug Engelbart, Robert Noyce, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Tim Berners-Lee, and Larry Page.
This is the story of how their minds worked and what made them so inventive. It’s also a narrative of how their ability to collaborate and master the art of teamwork made them even more creative.
For an era that seeks to foster innovation, creativity, and teamwork, The Innovators shows how they happen.
深得我心啊。再quote达芬奇一句: “Human ingenuity,” wrote Leonardo da Vinci, whose Vitruvian Man became the ultimate symbol of the intersection of art and science, “will never devise any inventions more beautiful, nor more simple, nor more to the purpose than Nature does.”
