Despite the economic, social, and scientific importance of
technology, the process of creating it is poorly understood. In particular,
researchers have largely overlooked the question of how technologies develop
over time. That's the starting point of W. Brian Arthur's The Nature of
Technology, an attempt to develop a comprehensive theory of "what
technology is and how it evolves." Arthur set to work in the library
stacks at Stanford University. "As I began to read, I was astonished that
some of the key questions had not been very deeply thought about," he
recalled in a recent interview. While much has been written on the sociology of
technology and engineering, and there's plenty on the histories of various
technologies, he said, "there were big gaps in the literature. How does
technology actually evolve? How do you define technology?"
My questions to the
listings will be :
How did these ”Indians”
achieve ? Were these product of their individual genius?Or were they merely perfecting agents? I am sure they were not demanded ”Proven
Track Record” like they do here to most.
