О чем книга в целом. Страшная сказка о том, как меняются технологии и фантазии автора по поводу того, к чему это может привести. Книга написана ужасно. Со слов автора видно, что всё сложно, но что с этим делать непонятно. Никаких конкретных предложений от Шваба нет. Только лозунги. Несвязанные факты надерганы из разных областей развития технологий, а единой картины нет. И конечно нельзя же писать таким казенным и формальным языком. Такое ощущение, что книгу писал плохой искусственный интеллект)Г...
Interesting peek at the 12 technologies emerging in this “fourth revolution” and how the markets for each have been evolving (space technologies, bioengineering, neuroscience, AI, etc). Only resentment is that instead of diving deeper into the technologies themselves, the author chose to outline to values surrounding each.
You have to admire the scholastic qualities of bureaucratic texts and the precision with which they can classify and order seemingly useless events. These are the people whose only skill is scamming those who can work and produce something useful.
Underwhelmed. Seriously underwhelmed.I'm underwhelmed because I saw all this 'disruptive technology' stuff in the early 1990s. Here we are again, but this time, we are promising attention to decentralization, equality and the ethical use of new technology, which includes neuroscience and drones.The challenge is that so much of what is promised as innovative in the fourth industrial revolution has been around a long time. 3D printing has been around for nearly thirty years. Drones were used in th...
I'm not a fan of this book, but my reasons differ. Some are not fans because they believe he's wrongly stated when the technologies were brought into existance. I'm less of a critique there as I think that's not his point. Others are upset with the formulation of his argument. Here I do have some similarities in my concerns. He's arguing that we are in the Fourth Industrial Wave of Revolution. He believes that something distinctive is happening and there is a change. This change, however is very...
This book is partly about current and future trends and partly about Mr. Schwab's social and political vision for the future. For anybody interested in technology trends this book is important; forewarned is forearmed and this book, despite its rambling nature at times, does a good job of laying out trends.My Schwab elicits a lot of strong reactions from people, but this book should be viewed on its own - at least in regard to fundamental trends. Going through it I found a two-fold layer. 1.) He...
This is a follow up book on the Fourth Industrial Revolution by Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum. Frankly I find the website and it’s many su groups much more interesting than his books. Maybe it’s because he tries to summaries all those interesting articles into a single Manual of Survival in the 4th Age... He argues that it is important for governments, industries and individuals to think of Systems when building the structure of the 4th Industrial Revolution. It reads like a typica...
Painted the potential of emerging technologies in an inspirational light while highlighting the importance of intentionality in technology design and application. Informative, well-organized, and hopeful.
The book was repetitive overall, so it was dry and hard to get through. I agree on the surface with much of what he says in this book. It is mind-boggling to think about the rapid advances in technology, and thus the upcoming uses of technology. It was fascinating (and scary). I agree that we need to come together to decide how we are going to use this new tech, how we will regulate it, how we will protect people as individuals from misuse/abuse, and also encourage use of technology equitably ac...
I got the through Amazon Library so hadn't read the more popular original. I found the book very interesting and all the talk of new industries and the importance of educating up the next generation. Because it covers so many aspects AI, VR, AR, Cyber Risks, Quantum Computing, Geoegineering Multi-stakeholders, International Consensus of Space Travel etc. Some are a bit light but usually give authors or papers that focus on those issues. The Fourth Industrial is a truly fascinating concept and wi...
Um livro estratégico sobre a chamada quarta revolução industrial. Faz uma análise muito interessante e sistêmica sobre os impactos sociais, econômicos e ambientais das principais tecnologias habilitadoras da 4RI. Algumas tecnologias já estão disponíveis e avançando, outras estão ainda na infância. Tem muita informação, gráficos comparativos e uma vastíssima lista bibliográfica. Vale a leitura, se você se interessa por tecnologia. Em tempo, eu não li o livro anterior do Karl Schwab, A quarta revo...
I’m shocked! This book is so poorly written, and the content and logic of his arguments are too general and not relevant to this subject matter. What a shame. I disliked it so much I took it back to the store and got my money back.
Many things is a repetitive content from the previous book by the same author. I would said this book explained anything in I4 from ethics, technologies, and what should be our response in I4, but the explanation only in the surface.
หนังสือแนววิชาการ มีศัพท์เฉพาะทางเยอะ เพราะตีพิมพ์จาก World Economic Forum ลองอ่านแบบไม่ต้องเข้าใจความคำศัพท์อะไรเยอะ แค่จับประเด็นหลัก ก็จะเข้าใจมุมมองและสิ่งใหม่ที่กำลังเกิดในอนาคตอันใกล้นี้ครับ
Great messages but very slow
Неплохое расширение первой книги автора. Оптимизма побольше, конкретики поменьше, стратегический характер книги поглубже.Пожалуй, стоит читать стратегам и не стоит читать ожидающим пошаговые рекомендации как жить в мире Индустрии 4.0 и четвёртой промышленной революции, хотя некая попытка дать такие авторами и сделана.Работа с источниками авторами проведена на традиционно высоком уровне.Особо впечатлил этический анализ проблематики новых технологий. Он в подобной литературе встречается не так час...
A must read for any citizen or societal leader who cares about employing emerging technologies to make the world a truly improved place for future generations. The book provides a great analytical foundation, practical summaries of key tech, and an action plan for all.
Interesting stuff. The book predicts the upheaval many of us have already experienced. It helps that the author sums up each chapter with a few key takeaways - not something I’m used to in “think piece” books.
Автор - основатель всемирного экономического форума в Давосе. Он рассказывает про те технологии, которые сейчас производят революцию во всех сферах человеческой жизнедеятельности. Это такие вещи, как блокчейн, квантовые вычисления, интернет вещей, искусственный интеллект и роботизация, 3d печать, био и нейротехнологии, VR и AR, геоинженерия и многое другое (не всё перечислил).Но будучи экономистом и основателем всемирного форума, автор основной упор делает на коллективную ответственность человеч...
The book makes a detailed case for technology that is already here and extends to the logical impact on society. My book Witness to Innovation/Stories from the analog back roads to the digital highway in a way is a precursor.
