The Nature of Technology by W. Brian Arthur

W. Brian Arthur's "The Essence of Technology" explains how technology has changed and answers unanswered questions on technology development. Arthur discusses techniques that changed the world for years. He leads the reader to understand how technology evolves. He compared the techniques and asked if the technology developed like a biological life. He proposed technical and scientific topics to combine these two themes to present an answer.

As W. Brian Arthur explains in "The essence of technology", each new technology starts with the discovery of phenomena, but the usefulness of this phenomenon is usually unknown at first. For example, Einstein did not think he would actually use his work in his life. The truth is that the next big thing is that it does not look like it at all. Look at the organization that can constantly innovate, and it has a systematic and orderly process to explore new problems. IBM's research department has helped the company re-invent himself for decades after much of the competition has passed since long ago. 20% of Google's time is a new problem of human search engine

A prominent scientific theorist W. Brian Arthur introduces the concept of combination evolution in the 2009 book "The essence of technology: what it is and how it evolves". To put it briefly, our technology is a system constructed from initial technology. For example, GPS and navigation systems, which are taken for granted on smartphones, combine early technologies such as satellites, computing chips, radio receivers, transmitters, and atomic clocks into infinitely valuable technologies. Interestingly, the value of new technology depends not only on its role but also on other technologies it brings. Each new technology becomes the cornerstone of future technology, and it exists without limitation.

W. Brian Arthur, a complexity economist, explored the acceleration and amplification of every aspect of cultural change. In his book "The Essence of Technology", Arthur is trying to reveal the theory of change that combines existing technologies (or material culture) in a unique way to create new new technologies. Behind this new combination is the intentional effort to derive human motivation. This expression suggests that it has just begun to understand what is necessary for the theory of stronger cultural and cultural changes that can achieve consistency across multiple disciplines and reflect sophisticated integration doing.
