人類の技術革新のスピード一覧
毎週楽しく読ませていただいたいる中島聡さんのメルマガで、人類の技術革新のスピード一覧が紹介されていた
・最初の道具:340万年前
・火:100万年前
・ベッド:20万年前
・弓矢:6万年前
・楽器:4万3千年前
・紙:紀元前2世紀
・火薬:9世紀
・印刷機:12世紀
・蒸気機関:16世紀
・写真、電話、電球、自動車:19世紀
・人工肥料、テレビ、抗生物質、核兵器、コンピューター、インターネット:20世紀
・スマートフォン、人工知能、CRISPR、mRNAワクチン:21世紀
これを見ると本当にすごいことだ。アインシュタインが人類最大の発明は「複利」といったというが、人類の進歩も、複利のような勢いで、最近は怒涛の進歩。この勢いだと、本当に猿の惑星、終末の日も近い??

List of the speed of human technological innovation
In Satoshi Nakajima’s newsletter, which I enjoy reading every week, he presents a list of speeds of human technological innovation.
First tool: 3.4 million years ago
Fire: 1 million years ago
Bed: 200,000 years ago
Bow and arrow: 60,000 years ago.
Musical instruments: 43,000 years ago.
Paper: 2nd century BC.
Gunpowder: 9th century.
Printing press: 12th century.
Steam engine: 16th century.
Photographs, telephones, light bulbs, cars: 19th century.
Artificial fertilisers, television, antibiotics, nuclear weapons, computer, internet: 20th century.
Smart phones, artificial intelligence, CRISPR, mRNA vaccines: 21st century.
This is really amazing to see. Einstein said that the greatest invention of mankind was “compound interest”, and human progress, like compound interest, has been raging lately. At this rate, are we really close to the Planet of the Apes and the End of Days?
