Kevin Kelly 1: How technology evolves

Kevin Kelly at TED2005
How technology evolves  (transcript)
Summary
I thought that the TED talk had old thoughts because it's told over 20 years ago, but it's wrong.
It's a great thought because the speaker tells us that we come back to life if we keep extending the origins of technology. And then it leads to an evolutionary perspective.

About evolution, it can be said that nowhere on Earth have we ever been where we don't find life, it never retreats, it's ubiquitous and it wants to be more. This is a life, namely, evolution.

The long-term trends of evolution need ubiquity, diversity, specialization, complexity, and socialization.
Like life sorted in plants, animals, fungi, archaebacteria, and eubacteria protists, technology is the seventh kingdom of life and it's sort of up. It's because technology has the important idea of resurrecting. It's hard to rid and doesn't die like the accumulation of ideas.

This is how technology evolves. Technology evolution is the same as in biological evolution. It can be said that it’s a way to evolve the evolution and it leads us to finding out who we are.
