Digital Revolution the conversion from analog devices to digital devices
(post 2000 mostly)
in the late 1980s, less than 1% of all technologically
stored info was digital and now it's more than 99%
stored digital info has ___ every 2.5 doubled.
years
each time we double, we have as much information
as we had since prehistory until now
if we took 5 ZB of info and store it in from the earth to the sun
books, how far would the pile reach?
world stored 5 ZB of info in 2014
how much more information can we 5x more digitally than physically (DNA is much slower
storage digitally VS physically? than digital growth)
what do evolutionary theorists say every time we (life) came up with a new way of
about the 'major transitions in processing information, a major transition happened
evolution'?
From this social evolutionary society as a whole has become indispensably
perspective, the digital and the dependent on digital technology
biological are merged when:
, Weaver said there are 3 kinds of problems of simplicity
problems that we have been working
on in the history of social science- problems of averages
problems of organized compelxity
weaver: problems of simplicity science before 1900 was largely concerned with 2
variable problems (temperature/pressure,
population/time, etc)
The first wave of scientific a small number of interrelated variables
advancements focused on:
weaver: problems of averages large numbers, we ignore the details of each
individual variable.
we work with the averages, probability theory
science of averages requires assumptions
The second wave of scientific averages of many (rather unknown) variables
advancements focused on:
weaver : problems of organized modeled w/ simple averages of a small number of
complexity interacting variables
predicted new types of electronic computing
devices -- to deal w/ problems that were once too
complicated + will inspire dev of new methods of
analysis
Why is it limiting to study society with societies contain more than 2-3 variables and are too
the dominant scientific methods from complex to be modeled with aggregate averages
the 19th and 20th century?
hierarchy of science (PCBST) physics - chemistry - biology - social - technological
highest level of pyramid social emergence
