如果机器统治了一切,人类将何去何从 夏学杰 十八世纪的法国思想家让-雅克·卢梭曾说:“人生而自由,却无处不在枷锁之中。”科学技术解放了人类,改变着世界,可它是否也在给人类创造新的束缚呢?美国知名作家尼古拉斯·卡尔的《玻璃笼子》...

评分这本书还不错,延续了尼古拉斯·卡尔一贯的写作风格。 书中讨论的内容,值得我们深思,大家可以就此展开讨论。 不过平心而论,从书的创新性来看:这本书缺乏独创性,本书内容和《算法帝国Automate This:How Algorithms Came to Rule Our World》《第二次机器革命》的内容有高度...

At once a celebration of technology and a warning about its misuse, The Glass Cage will change the way you think about the tools you use every day.
In The Glass Cage, best-selling author Nicholas Carr digs behind the headlines about factory robots and self-driving cars, wearable computers and digitized medicine, as he explores the hidden costs of granting software dominion over our work and our leisure. Even as they bring ease to our lives, these programs are stealing something essential from us.
Drawing on psychological and neurological studies that underscore how tightly people’s happiness and satisfaction are tied to performing hard work in the real world, Carr reveals something we already suspect: shifting our attention to computer screens can leave us disengaged and discontented.
From nineteenth-century textile mills to the cockpits of modern jets, from the frozen hunting grounds of Inuit tribes to the sterile landscapes of GPS maps, The Glass Cage explores the impact of automation from a deeply human perspective, examining the personal as well as the economic consequences of our growing dependence on computers.
With a characteristic blend of history and philosophy, poetry and science, Carr takes us on a journey from the work and early theory of Adam Smith and Alfred North Whitehead to the latest research into human attention, memory, and happiness, culminating in a moving meditation on how we can use technology to expand the human experience.
不爱 Carr 的文风,读来很费劲。

评分其实本质还是独立。人需要在没有科技的环境下依然能够独立思考、独立生存。工具只是给我们的思考带来了便利,但有时其实我们不需要那么多便利,或者说过度的便利也是一种负担。
评分工具本身不应该代替思考,不应该减轻有效的记忆负担。工具的意义在于把那些不需要思考的工作自动化,成为第三只手,而不是代替原来的两只手。自从放弃印象笔记以及各种各样TODO应用之后,我的记忆力和对于工作的安排更加依赖于自己的记忆和判断,虽然一开始给我带来了一些负担,但是现在我可以记住更多的东西,有更强的联系能力。
