Description:


The Technology Trap is a sweeping account of the history of technological progress and how it has radically shifted the distribution of economic and political power among society's members. As Carl Benedikt Frey shows, the Industrial Revolution created unprecedented wealth and prosperity over the long run, but the immediate consequences of mechanisation were devastating. Middle-income jobs withered, wages stagnated, the labor share of income fell, profits surged, and economic inequality skyrocketed. These trends broadly mirror those in our current age of automation. But, just as the Industrial Revolution eventually brought about extraordinary benefits for society, artificial intelligence systems have the potential to do the same. The Technology Trap demonstrates that in the midst of another technological revolution, the lessons of the past can help us to more effectively face the present.

'Frey's story is well argued and — at times — deeply alarming.' — John Thornhill,Financial Times

'An excellent analysis of past industrial revolutions, the technologies that emerged within them, and the way societies adapted to those changes.' — Adi Gaskell,Forbes

'The Technology Trapmay well ensnare doom-seekers' attention with its ominous-sounding title. But it should ultimately hearten anyone who reads it.' —The Economist

For a very petite wrist
I have a child-size wrist at 5.5 inches. It is hard to find watches small enough! This watch has a 6 inch fit, fitting my arm with a little wiggle room. It has spring sides for ease of putting it on, but won't allow for stretch or adjustment. Therefore, it will be tight on a standard 7 inch wrist. I am delighted with my purchase, but was hesitant to buy based on unclear size. I wanted to clarify for you the actual size to expect. I included a pic from the top and bottom of watch on my wrist, hoping to demonstrate the snug size on a tiny arm. It's a beautiful watch with unique style, and fit.
