Postęp technologiczny budzi wsciekłość - newsletter Artura Kurasińskiego

Quo Vadis Postępie?

Gram w "Watchs Dogs 2" i dziwię jak bardzo jej twórcy podśmiewują się z Doliny Krzemowej i kultury czczenia technologii tam panującej. Kilka lat temu to było bluźnietrstwem - obecnie w dobrym tonie jest skrytykować wysokość czynszów, politykę Facebooka czy zakup przejęcie kolejnego startupu po tylko żeby nie dać wyrosnąć konkurencji.

Powoli, powoli zaczyna do nas docierać, że technologia i gwałtowny postęp mogą być zabójcze - w całej swojej masie ludzie nie martwią się o konwersję użytkownika, optymalizację chmury czy growth hacking.

Polecam zapoznać się z książką Thomasa L. Friedmana "Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations" gdzie autor stawia tezę, że przyczyną wielu dzisiejszych problemów jest galopujący rozwój i postęp technologiczny za którym ludzie nie nadążają. Chcemy jeździć na działkę i grillować a nie roztrząsać etyczne problemy autonomicznych samochodów. Dziwne? Wcale nie.

Among the strongest indicators of this mindset is...
