智慧型手機改變一切，顛覆正要開始
💡The advent of the smartphone marked the merging of man and machine. These devices might not be embedded into our forearms just yet, but they have so seismically changed how we operate and interact as humans over the past decade that we’re all effectively cyborgs now. We’re each wholly devoted to these tiny unknowable machines, rarely out of hand or at the very least rarely out of reach.
智慧型手機的問世象徵著人與機器的融合。雖然這些裝置尚未植入我們的前臂中，但在過去十年來，智慧型手機已大大地改變了人類的操作和互動方式，以至於現在的我們都可說是經過改造的生化人。我們所有人都對這些微小而未知的機器投注全心全意，幾乎人手一機，絕非遙不可及。
🍀IBM’s Simon Personal Communicator, which was released in 1994, was the first touch-screen machine to merge phone, email and PDA. It took 2007’s first-gen iPhone, however, to spark the smartphone’s rise from novelty to ubiquity. In early 2010, hand-held devices took a major leap, with global sales doubling from roughly 50 million devices in the first quarter of that year to about 100 million in the fourth quarter. Smartphone-sales-per-quarter eventually surged to a peak of more than 400 million units during the final few months of 2016.
1994年即問世的IBM Simon 個人通信器是第一台將電話、電子郵件和PDA功能整合再一起的觸控式手機。然而，2007年第一代 iPhone才真正激起智慧型手機的風潮，智慧型手機從奇貨可居變成無處不在。2010年初手持式裝置的銷售急速飛漲，全球銷量從當年第一季的五千萬部手機暴增到第四季的一億，整整漲了一倍。在2016年最後幾個月裡，每季度銷量飆升到歷史峰值，銷售量超越四億部智慧型手機。
🎯As our digital addiction grew, so did our dependence on apps, said Shawn DuBravac, futurist and the bestselling author of “Digital Destiny: How the New Age of Data Will Transform the Way We Work, Live, and Communicate.” The ease that each little temptress of an icon offered, whether to call an Uber, order Seamless or find a mate, created the “disruption” that defined the 2010s. “All the good that smartphones have brought—and all the bad they’ve brought—over the last 10 years is because smartphones made transactions easier,” said Mr. DuBravac.
未來學家暨《數位命運：數據新時代如何改變我們的工作、生活和交流》一書作者肖恩・杜布拉瓦克認為，隨著人們對數位成癮，我們對於應用程式的依賴性也同步增加。一個個app圖示都能提供無比便利性，好比Uber共乘、訂購Seamless食物外送服務或是尋找社交伴侶，一同締造了2010年代所定義的「顛覆式創新」。「過去十年來，智慧型手機帶來的所有好處—以及隨之而來的種種壞處都是因為智慧型手機讓交易變得更容易。」杜布拉克說。
