Sinopsis

"Lost Inventions Explained" explores the fascinating world of forgotten technologies, examining why some innovations thrived while others faded into obscurity. The book challenges the idea of linear technological progress by showcasing ingenious devices from ancient civilizations to abandoned prototypes, revealing that societal acceptance and resource availability often dictate an invention's fate, not just its inherent merit. For instance, advanced metallurgical techniques of the ancient world were lost, only to be rediscovered centuries later. 

 
The book adopts a multifaceted approach, drawing from archaeological findings, historical documents, and scientific analyses to reconstruct the stories behind these lost inventions. It presents case studies from various historical periods, including ancient marvels, Renaissance-era inventions, and 19th and 20th-century prototypes, to illustrate the complex interplay between technology, society, and economics. 

 
Each chapter builds upon the previous one, progressively revealing how understanding these "forgotten technology" examples can inspire new approaches to problem-solving and promote sustainable innovation today.

    Attention is not just receptive, but actively creative of the world we inhabit. How we attend makes all the difference to the world we experience. And nowadays in the West we generally attend in a rather unusual way: governed by the narrowly focussed, target-driven left hemisphere of the brain.  
    Forget everything you thought you knew about the difference between the hemispheres, because it will be largely wrong. It is not what each hemisphere does – they are both involved in everything – but how it does it, that matters. And the prime difference between the brain hemispheres is the manner in which they attend. For reasons of survival we need one hemisphere (in humans and many animals, the left) to pay narrow attention to detail, to grab hold of things we need, while the other, the right, keeps an eye out for everything else. The result is that one hemisphere is good at utilising the world, the other better at understanding it.  
    Absent, present, detached, engaged, alienated, empathic, broad or narrow, sustained or piecemeal, attention has the power to alter whatever it meets. The play of attention can both create and destroy, but it never leaves its object unchanged. How you attend to something – or don’t attend to it – matters a very great deal. This book helps you to see what it is you may have been trained by our very unusual culture not to see.  
    Ways of Attending is expertly read by Mike Fraser. The cover design has been adapted from a Cajal original drawing, and used with permission of Legado Cajal (Madrid).

    In the beginning, there was wonder. 
    Before mathematics had its symbols and before physics had its laws, humanity looked up at the stars and asked the oldest questions: What is this universe? Why does it behave the way it does? What governs the rising sun, the falling apple, or the arc of a thrown spear? 
    Out of this awe, two great languages of understanding were born. One used precision and abstraction. The other used observation and experimentation. Mathematics and physics siblings in the search for truth grew side by side, sometimes in harmony, sometimes in tension.

    The pressure to "be digital" has never been greater. 
     
     
      
    The digital revolution is here. It's changing how work gets done, how industries are structured, and how people from all walks of life work, behave and relate to each other. To thrive in a world driven by data and powered by algorithms, we must learn to see, think, and act in new ways. We need to develop a digital mindset. 
     
     
     
    But what does that mean? Some fear it means that in the near future we will all need to become technologists who master the intricacies of coding, algorithms, AI, machine learning, robotics, and who knows what's next. 
     
      
     
    This book introduces three approaches—Collaboration, Computation, Change—that you need for a digital mindset, and the perspectives and actions within each approach that will enable you to develop digital skills you need. With the digital mindset, you can ask the right questions, make smart decisions and appreciate new possibilities for a digital future. Leaders who adopt these approaches will be able to develop their organization's talent to prepare their company for successful and continued digital transformation. 
     
     
      
    The surprising and welcome secret is that developing a digital mindset isn't as hard as we think. Most people can become digitally savvy if they follow the "30% rule," or the minimum threshold that gives us just enough digital literacy to understand and take advantage of the digital fabric woven into our world.
