It goes against everybody’s inner cynic to read a sentence like the following: We are on the verge of the greatest age of creativity and innovation the world has ever known. Consider the following idea. Things, broadly speaking, used to be invented by small, shadowy elite. This mysterious group might be called "The People Who Happened to Be in the Room at the Time". These people might have been engineers, or sitcom writers, or chefs. They were probably very nice and might have even been very, very smart. But however smart they were, they’re almost certainly no match for a less elite but much, much larger group: All the People Outside the Room.
Historically, that latter group hasn’t had much to do with innovation. These people buy and consume whatever gets invented inside the room, but that’s it. Until now it’s been kind of awkward getting them involved in the innovation process at all, because they’re not getting paid; plus it’s a pain to set up the conference call.
But that’s changing
. The authorship of innovation is shifting from the Few to the Many. The idea that lots of people, potentially everybody, can be involved in the process of innovation is both obvious and utterly transformative, and once you look for examples you start seeing them everywhere. Two things make this kind of innovation possible, one obvious and one not. The obvious one is the Internet. The other one, the surprising one, is a curious phenomenon you could call intellectual altruism. It turns out that given the opportunity, people will donate their time and brainpower to make the world better.
You would think corporations would be falling all over themselves to make money off this new resource: a cheap R&D lab the approximate size of the earth’s online population. In fact, they have been slow to embrace it. Admittedly, it’s counterintuitive: until now the value of a piece of intellectual property has been defined by how few people possess it. In the future the value will be defined by how many people possess it. You could even imagine a future in which companies scrapped their R&D departments entirely and simply proposed questions for the global collective intelligence to mull. All that creative types like myself would have to do is sit back and harvest free, brilliant ideas from the brains of billions. Now that’s an idea my inner cynic can get behind.
The change of inventors "from the Few to the Many" is due to
选项
A、the advent and availability of the Internet.
B、the common people are passionate in contributing their ideas to help others.
C、people are willing to donate their time and wisdom to make the world better.
D、All of the above.
答案
D
解析
发明创造的主体“从精英转向大众”的原因是[A]互联网的出现和利用。[B]普通人热衷于出点子来帮助别人。[C]人们愿意花时间和智慧让世界更美好。[D]以上各项均正确。根据题干关键词from the Few to the Many可以定位到第三段。该段第四句话提到了使这种转变成为可能的两个原因。一个是the Internet,另一个是intellectualaltruism,即“智力利他主义”,该段最后一句是对这一说法的解释,即“如果有机会,人们都会为了更加美好的世界贡献自己的时间和智慧”,所以[A]、[B]、[C]三项均符合文意,故[D]为正确答案。
