皮特·泰尔一直在幕后推动着某些先进技术的的发展:他与人共同成立了Pay Pal,早期也投资了一些公司,比如:Facebook,Linkedin,特斯拉汽车公司。但是他认识到技术已经停滞数十年不前了。依泰尔之言,计算机和互联网的发展并未明显改善我们的生活质量。在泰尔的一本新书里,他提醒企业家们,传统的商业智慧正在阻止他们自己和社会这个整体在一些领域取得重大发展,如能源或健康。而在这些领域里,技术能让我们的世界变得更加美好,尽管他也没有给予我们关于怎样取得这样的突破的具体答案。在麻省理工科技评论的 Pete Thiel has been behind the scenes to promote the development of some advanced technology: He co-founded Pay Pal, early also invested in a number of companies, such as: Facebook, Linkedin, Tesla Motors. But he realizes that technology has stagnated for decades. According to Tellel, the development of computers and the Internet has not significantly improved the quality of our lives. In a new book by Thayer, he reminds entrepreneurs that traditional business intelligence is preventing themselves and the community as a whole from making major advances in areas such as energy or health. In these areas, technology can make our world a better place, though he does not give us specific answers on how to achieve such a breakthrough. Tech Review at MIT
