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.
According to Paragraph 1, what can we learn about the author’s attitude towards inventors?
选项
A、Cynical.
B、Critical.
C、Objective.
D、Sympathetic.
答案
C
解析
从第一段中我们可知,作者对发明者持怎样的态度?[A]愤世嫉俗的。[B]批判的。[C]客观的。[D]同情的。题干问作者对发明者所持的态度。根据第一段最后两句话可知,作者一方面肯定了这些发明者和善、睿智等积极的一面,另一方面却觉得这些发明者无法和那些非精英的普通大众相比,说明作者对发明者的态度比较客观,[A]“愤世嫉俗的”、[B]“批判的”和[D]“同情的”都与作者的态度不符,所以选[C]。
