在《科技想要什么》一书中，凯文·凯利向我们介绍了一种全新的科技观。他认为，作为整体，科技不是由线路和金属构成的一团乱麻，而是有生命力的自然形成的系统，它的起源完全可以回溯到生命的初始时期。
正如生物进化呈现出无意识的趋势，科技也是如此。通过追踪这些长期趋势，我们可以对"科技想要什么”有所理解。文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2211.html
"Verbalizing visceral feelings about technology, whether attraction or repulsion, Kelly explores the “technium,” his term for the globalized, interconnected stage of technological development. Arguing that the processes creating the technium are akin to those of biological evolution, Kelly devotes the opening sections of his exposition to that analogy, maintaining that the technium exhibits a similar tendency toward self-organizing complexity.文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2211.html

From his observations and discussions with some Amish people, Kelly extracts some precepts of their attitudes toward gadgets, suggesting folk in the secular world can benefit from the Amish approach of treating tools as servants of self and society rather than as out-of-control masters. Exploring ramifications of technology on human welfare and achievement, Kelly arrives at an optimistic outlook that will interest many, coming, as it does, from the former editor of Wired magazine."文章源自：力哥爱英语（ienglish521.com）力哥爱英语-https://ienglish521.com/2211.html
