Abstract

The history of technological innovations is replete with examples of both positive and negative societal impacts. An often-cited example is that of textile workers (referred to as Luddites) who rebelled against the machines that threatened their livelihoods as their artisans’ skilled labor was being replaced with less skilled machine workers [1] . On the other hand, a positive impact of that technology was that the machine workers could do the work with higher efficiency. It is generally the case that for successful innovations, the positives outweigh the negatives resulting in a net positive to societies. This pattern continues to repeat itself in this information age.

社会公益数据：一种情境方法

技术创新的历史充满了积极和消极社会影响的例子。一个经常被引用的例子是纺织工人（被称为卢德分子），他们反抗威胁他们生计的机器，因为他们的工匠的熟练劳动力正被技能较低的机器工人取代[1]。另一方面，这项技术的积极影响是机器工人可以以更高的效率完成工作。通常情况下，对于成功的创新，积极因素大于消极因素，从而对社会产生净积极影响。这种模式在这个信息时代继续重复。
