Digital Life - Understanding Second-Order Effects

內容大綱
The Laws of Disruption, written by Larry Downes, a partner with the Bell-Mason Group, is a 12-chapter book published by Basic Books/Perseus Books Group. Compossed of four sections, the book explores a simple but unavoidable principle of modern life: though technology changes exponentially, social, economic, and legal systems change incrementally. This disparity in change, Downes argues, will inevitably instigate conflicts between social, economic, political, and legal systems rooted in the past and the current and future generations who are dramatically rewriting the rules of both business and social interaction. Downes suggests nine emerging principles that are shaping a new legal code - the laws of disruption - that will close the gap between institutions of the past and those of the future. Chapter 1 introduces the Law of Disruption and its key drivers, Moore's Law and Metcalfe's Law. Downes argues that these laws help to reveal the foundation for a new human existence - the digital life. The escalating conflict between business leaders, governments, and consumers over intellectual property and information is also discussed.
