一、迭代进化:工业时代与信息时代不期而遇人类文明进步的本质是用更少的人力和物力投入养活更多的人。人口繁荣,文明兴盛。在工业革命开始前一个漫长的时期,地球人口都呈现缓慢增长。直到十八世纪英国工业革命开始,地球人口呈现倍数级增长。从1600年的5亿,用两百三十年达到1830年的10亿;又用一百年时间增长一倍,1930年达到20亿;再用四分之三个世纪又翻了三倍有余,1960年30亿,1999年60亿,2011年达到70亿。
I. The Evolution of Iteration: The essence of the progress of human civilization in the industrial age and the information age is to feed more people with less manpower and material resources. The population is prosperous and civilized. During the long period before the Industrial Revolution, the Earth’s population showed a slow growth. Until the start of the British Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, the Earth’s population showed a multiple-order increase. From 500 million in 1600 and 230 million in 1830 to 1 billion in 1830; another 100 times more than double in 2000, reaching 2 billion in 1930; and more than tripled in another three-quarter centuries 3 billion in 1960, 6 billion in 1999 and 7 billion in 2011.
