Kevin Kelly 3: Technology's epic story


Kevin Kelly at TEDxAmsterdam
Technology's epic story  (transcript)
Summary
If we were to eliminate every single bit of technology in the world today, we, as a species, would not live very long. It means that we would die very quickly. 1)
Stone tools in the ancient period, simple tools, clothes, and even fire are effectively minimal technologies. 2)
And then humans occupied on the Earth and became the most dominant species with technologies 3) so technologies can be said that they are ourselves.  4)
We're still inventing and this seems to be what technology is allowing us to do. 5) We, humans, call it technology 6) that is anything a human mind makes and that is very useful. 7)
Technology is accelerating all the aspects of life. It's evolvability. 8)
The story leads to how technology evolves.
It's because technology is never rid and doesn't die like the accumulation of ideas.
The long-term trends of evolution need ubiquity, diversity, specialization, complexity, and socialization.
Technology's epic 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.

Words in this story
order /noun/ regularity, system, method
epic /adj/ of, relating to, or characteristic of an epic or epics.  heroic, long, grand
