Drones, originally developed for military purposes, weren’t approved for commercial use in the United States until 2013. When that happened, it was immediately clear that they could be hugely useful to a whole host of industries—and almost as quickly, it became clear that regulation would be a problem. The new technology raised multiple safety and security issues, there was no consensus on who should write rules to mitigate those concerns, and the knowledge needed to develop the rules didn’t yet exist in many cases. In addition, the little flying robots made a lot of people nervous.
Such regulatory, logistical, and social barriers to adopting novel products and services are very common. In fact, technology routinely surpasses society’s ability to deal with it. That’s partly because tech entrepreneurs are often
insouciant
about the legal and social issues their innovations birth. Although electric cars are subsidized by the federal government, Tesla has run afoul of state and local regulations because it bypasses conventional dealers to sell directly to consumers. Facebook is only now facing up to major regulatory concerns about its use of data, despite being massively successful with users and advertisers.
It’s clear that even as innovations bring unprecedented comfort and convenience, they also threaten old ways of regulating industries, running a business, and making a living. This has always been true. Thus early cars weren’t allowed to go faster than horses, and some 19th-century textile workers used sledgehammers to attack the industrial machinery they feared would displace them. New technology can even upend social norms: Consider how dating apps have transformed the way people meet.
Interestingly, the same institutional disorder that pervades nascent industries such as drones and driverless cars is something I’ve also seen in developing countries. And strange though this may sound, I believe that tech entrepreneurs can learn a lot from business people who have succeeded in the world’s emerging markets.
Entrepreneurs in Brazil or Nigeria know that it’s pointless to wait for the government to provide the institutional and market infrastructure their businesses need, because that will simply take too long. They themselves must build support structures to compensate for what Krishna Palepu and I have referred to in earlier writings as "institutional voids." They must create the conditions that will allow them to create successful products or services.
The word "insouciant" (Para. 2) most probably means______.
选项
A、indifferent
B、impartial
C、incapable
D、insensible
答案
A
解析
词汇理解题。根据定位词定位到:艾章第二段。原文指出,在采用新产品和服务方面,这种监管、物流和社会障碍是非常普遍的。事实上,技术的发展通常超过了社会的应对能力。这在一定程度上是因为科技企业家往往______他们的创新所引发的法律和社会问题。该句说明,科技企业家只注重了创新的诞生,而不关心自己所创造出的新的产物所涉及的法律和社会问题,故A项为正确选项。
