Descrizione del libro
Only those inventions that survive the test of use are reproduced. Technological artefacts thus 'evolve' like biological organisms. For the first time, leading experts from many disciplines discuss this analogy thoroughly in non-technical language, showing how it throws a new light on many aspects of social and economic change.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Technological artefacts and biological organisms 'evolve' by very similar processes of blind variation and selective retention. This analogy is explored systematically, for the first time, by a team of international experts from evolutionary biology, history and sociology of science and technology, cognitive and computer science, economics, psychology, education, cultural anthropology and research management. Do technological 'memes' play the role of genes? In what sense are novel inventions 'blind'? Does the element of design make them 'Lamarckian' rather than 'Darwinian'? Is the recombination of ideas the essence of technological creativity? Can invention be simulated computationally? What are the entities that actually evolve - artefacts, ideas or organisations? These are only some of the many questions stimulated and partially answered by this powerful metaphor. With its practical demonstration of the explanatory potential of 'evolutionary reasoning' in a well-defined context, this book is a ground-breaking contribution to every discipline concerned with cultural change. An analysis of the analogy that technological artefacts 'evolve' like biological organisms. This item is printed on demand.
