Título: | Major transitions in information technology |
Autor: | Valverde, Sergi CSIC ORCID | Palabras clave: | Transition Software Innovation Technology Networks Evolution |
Fecha de publicación: | 18-jul-2016 | Editor: | Royal Society (Great Britain) | Citación: | Philosophical Transactions - B - Biological Sciences 371(1701): 20150450 (2016) | Resumen: | When looking at the history of technology, we can see that all inventions are not of equal importance. Only a few technologies have the potential to start a new branching series (specifically, by increasing diversity), have a lasting impact in human life and ultimately became turning points. Technological transitions correspond to times and places in the past when a large number of novel artefact forms or behaviours appeared together or in rapid succession. Why does that happen? Is technological change continuous and gradual or does it occur in sudden leaps and bounds? The evolution of information technology (IT) allows for a quantitative and theoretical approach to technological transitions. The value of information systems experiences sudden changes (i) when we learn how to use this technology, (ii) when we accumulate a large amount of information, and (iii) when communities of practice create and exchange free information. The coexistence between gradual improvements and discontinuous technological change is a consequence of the asymmetric relationship between complexity and hardware and software. Using a cultural evolution approach, we suggest that sudden changes in the organization of ITs depend on the high costs of maintaining and transmitting reliable information. | Versión del editor: | http://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2015.0450 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/151883 | DOI: | 10.1098/rstb.2015.0450 | ISSN: | 0962-8436 | E-ISSN: | 1471-2970 |
