Network revolutions of the past have shaped the present and set the stage for the revolution we are experiencing today
In an era of seemingly instant change, it's easy to think that today's revolutions—in communications, business, and many areas of daily life—are unprecedented. Today's changes may be new and may be happening faster than ever before. But our ancestors at times were just as bewildered by rapid upheavals in what we now call “networks”—the physical links that bind any society together.
In this fascinating book, former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler brings to life the two great network revolutions of the past and uses them to help put in perspective the confusion, uncertainty, and even excitement most people face today. The first big network revolution was the invention of movable-type printing in the fifteenth century. This book, its millions of predecessors, and even such broad trends as the Reformation, the Renaissance, and the multiple scientific revolutions of the past 500 years would not have been possible without that one invention. The second revolution came with the invention of the telegraph early in the nineteenth century. Never before had people been able to communicate over long distances faster than a horse could travel. Along with the development of the world's first high-speed network—the railroad—the telegraph upended centuries of stability and literally redrew the map of the world.
Wheeler puts these past revolutions into the perspective of today, when rapid-fire changes in networking are upending the nature of work, personal privacy, education, the media, and nearly every other aspect of modern life. But he doesn't leave it there. Outlining "What's Next," he describes how artificial intelligence, virtual reality, blockchain, and the need for cybersecurity are laying the foundation for a third network revolution.
过去的网络革命塑造了现在，并为我们今天所经历的革命奠定了基础。在一个看似瞬息万变的时代，人们很容易认为，今天的革命ーー在通信、商业和日常生活的许多领域ーー是前所未有的。今天的变化可能是新的，可能发生的比以往任何时候都快。在这本引人入胜的书中，美国联邦通信委员会(fcc)前主席汤姆 · 惠勒(tom wheeler)描述了过去两次伟大的网络革命，并用它们来帮助我们正确地看待当今大多数人面临的困惑、不确定甚至兴奋。第一次大的网络革命是十五世纪活字印刷术的发明。这本书，它的数百万前辈，甚至如此广泛的趋势，改革，文艺复兴，和多种科学革命的过去500年，不可能没有这一个发明。第二次革命伴随着十九世纪早期电报的发明而来。从来没有人能够比马更快地进行长距离的交流。随着世界上第一个高速网络——铁路——的发展，电报颠覆了几个世纪以来的稳定，真正重绘了世界地图。惠勒把这些过去的革命放到了今天的视角，当网络的快速变化颠覆了工作、个人隐私、教育、媒体以及现代生活几乎所有其他方面的本质。但他没有把它留在那里。他描述了人工智能，虚拟现实，区块链，以及对网络安全的需求，是如何为第三次网络革命奠定基础的。
