Economic Wheel - Dual-wheel Driven Social Developing Mode
[经济之轮 – 双轮驱动社会发展模式]
1. Introduction
When we look at the
history of our human society, we can clearly and easily conclude that
technology development is the impetus to drive the development of our society.
For a long period, this kind technology development aimed at exploring and
occupying the natural resources as more as possible and as fast as possible. We
are proud that we can have advanced technologies to utilize natural resources.
However, this single technology wheel driven mode is
incomplete because it ignores the balance between natural resource and human
consumption of natural resource. So here I would like to advocate a new
viewpoint for social development named as dual
wheel driven social development mode. In this mode, environmental
improvement is weighted same as technology development. The progress in
environment can also lead the society to develop to a new level and
revolutionarily change the face of our society.
This mode provides us
a more accurate reflection on the internal mechanism to achieve a perfect and
long-standing social development. This mode concludes our scattered
understandings on the truth of the nature and social development to a simple
theory.
2. Dual-wheel Driven
Social Developing Mode
Single technology wheel driven mode is well known to
nearly everybody. Here I would like to emphasis on the dual-wheel driven social development mode which I proposed.
Figure 1 shows more
details about the dual-wheel driven mode.
This mode weights environment as equal as technology. Technology development
has impacts on human society with the convenience and efficiency it provides.
The difference of technology and its application among countries make it
possible for one country to get global resources (natural resources or other
resources) easily through the trading of technology products. The country with
technology advantages will gain capital surplus and can re-invest the capital
in technology innovation to continuously keep its leading position in improving
human life with new technologies. There are many examples in this area, such
as: the invention and application of electronic power, the invention and
application of computer, the invention and application of optical
communication.
Now let's look at
environmental factors. The environment advantages for a country do not means
protecting environment without doing anything, it means improvement of
untouched or damaged environment, supply of beneficial ecosystem, balanced
supply of needed resources, supply of human culture and tourism resources.
Country with such advantages can also export with its excellent tourism
resources and environment management mode to win capital to re-invest in the
environment issues.
Environment
and technology are not totally separated. Environment related technology will
also change the face of human life greatly, especially when we look at it
globally. When we focus on these two issues, we may create a new era of human
society: Post- Agriculture Society which
may be the best development form of our society.

3. Dual-Wheel Driven
Mode and Post-Agriculture Society
Under single-wheel driven mode, we have
achieved great success. We are proud of our achievements. We even think we can
not only find the nature of the nature, but we can also control the nature with
the nature we know. We do have controlled some of the natures, we dig tunnels,
we build reservoirs, and we fly in the space. However we also produce many
unexpected results: the changing of the global climate, the expanding of
deserts, the shortage of waters across the world, the widening of the
ozonosphere empty hole, the disappearing of species. Some of these progresses
can not be easily recovered. So what's the problem? It's because we do not pay
more attention to the environment when we explore natural resources with
advanced technologies. With dual-wheel
driven mode we can keep both technology innovation and environment
innovation. Environmental protection is not just to keep the natural resource
untouched. That's my different thinking on environmental protection. The
application of environment innovation will finally change the face of our
society to Post-Agriculture Society
or other name you can word it. Some of the characteristics of agriculture
society are: dispersed and self-supplied unit, reusable natural resource, etc.
What will we get with the possible invention in environment in the future?
Let's
see some tomorrow’s pictures:
·
Power supply: if we can find the
truth of photosynthesis, maybe we can use tree and plant like facilities to
supply electronic power;
·
Water supply: if we can apply the
water recycling system in each house or building unit, maybe the seasonal rains
plus little public water supply system are enough;
·
Buildings: if we can find a plant
label to be applied to our buildings, maybe we can automatically adjust the
temperature and humidity of our living room;
·
Road: if we find strong
grasses which can bear the heavy weight and erosion of vehicles, we may change
the reflection of sunlight and reduce the city hot-island effects;
·
Reproducibility:
Natural resources we used all can be recreated;
·
Oasis Technology:
Deserts around the world can be transformed to green lands with some kind
environmental technologies;

Conclusion
So that's what the
environment technology will change our society to a Post-Agriculture Society. With the developed information
technology, we can work and collaborate at home or in any place in the world.
This provides us the availability of dispersibility,
self-supply and reusability.
Just like the famous Indian Poet Tagore told us in nearly one
hundred years ago: “God is waiting for
the human being to return to their childhood in wisdom”。 The dual-wheel driven mode provides us a better
way to recover the bad effects by the single wheel driven mode.

引言
当我们回望人类社会历史的时候,我们可以清楚而容易地得出结论:技术发展是推动我们社会发展的动力。长期以来,这种技术发展旨在于尽可能快地挖掘和占用自然资源。我们感到自豪的是我们可以拥有先进的技术来利用自然资源。
然而,这种单一技术轮驱动模式是不完全的,因为它忽视了自然资源和人类消耗自然资源之间的平衡。所以在此我想提出一个被称为双轮驱动社会发展模式的社会发展新观点。在这种模式下,环境改善与技术发展拥有相同的权重。环境的进步也可以导致社会发展到一个新的水平,并革命性地改变我们的社会面貌。
这种模式为我们提供了一个能够具有完美性和长期性的社会发展内部机制的更为准确的反映。这种模式将我们对自然和社会发展的真理的分散理解总结为一个简单的理论。

双轮驱动社会发展模式
单一技术的轮驱动模式是人所皆知的。在这里,我想强调我提出的双轮驱动社会发展模式。
图1显示了双轮驱动模式的更多细节。这种模式将技术和环境的权重视为相同。技术发展对人类社会的影响在于其所提供的方便性和效率性。技术及其在各国之间的应用的差异性使得一个国家能够通过技术产品的贸易轻易地获得全球资源(自然资源或其他资源)。具有技术优势的国家将获得资本盈余,并可以将资本重新投资于技术创新,以不断保持其在利用新技术改善人类生活方面的领先地位。在这方面有许多例子,例如:电能的发明和应用,计算机的发明和应用,光通信的发明和应用。

现在让我们看看环境因素。一个国家的环境优势并不意味着保护环境而不做任何事情,而是意味着改善未受接触或受到破坏的环境,提供有益的生态系统,平衡供应所需资源,提供人类文化和旅游资源。具有这样优势的国家也可以以优良的旅游资源和环境管理模式出口,赢得资本并重新投资于环境议题。
环境和技术并不完全分离。环境相关的技术也可以极大地改变人类生活的面貌,特别是当我们以全球的视野来看待它的时候。当我们关注这两个议题时,我们可能会创造一个人类社会的新时代:后农业社会,它可能是我们社会最好的发展形式。

双轮驱动模式和后农业社会
在单轮驱动模式下,我们取得了巨大的成功。我们为我们的成就感到自豪。我们甚至认为我们不仅可以找到自然的法则,而且我们也可以利用我们所知道的自然法则来控制自然。我们已经控制了一些自然界,我们挖隧道,我们建造水库,我们在空间飞行。然而,我们也产生了许多意想不到的结果:全球气候的变化,沙漠的扩大,世界范围内的水资源短缺,臭氧层空洞的扩大,物种的消失。其中一些进展是不容易恢复的。那么问题是什么?这是因为当我们用先进技术探索自然资源时,我们没有更多地关注环境。采用双轮驱动模式,我们可以保持技术创新和环境创新。环境保护不仅仅是为了保持自然资源不受接触。这是我对环境保护的不同想法。环境创新的应用会将我们的社会面貌最终改变到后农业社会或其他你可以命名的名字。农业社会的一些特点是:分散和自给自足的单位,可重复使用的自然资源等等。在未来的环境中我们能得到什么可能的发明呢?
让我们看一些明天的图片:

让我们看一些明天的图片:
·
电力供应:如果我们能找到光合作用的真相,也许我们可以使用树木和植物一样的设施来提供电力;
·
水的供应:如果我们可以在每个房屋或建筑单元中应用水循环系统,也许季节性的雨水加上小的公共供水系统就足够了;
·
建筑:如果我们可以找到一种植物标签应用到我们的建筑物中,也许我们就可以自动调节我们居室的温度和湿度;
·
道路:如果我们发现可以承受重的车辆的重量和侵蚀的强壮的草科植物,我们可以改变阳光的反射并减少城市热岛效应;
·
可再生性:我们使用的自然资源均可以再生;
·
绿洲技术:世界各地的沙漠可以通过某种环境技术转化为绿地;
4. 总结
这就是所说的环境技术会将我们的社会改变为后农业社会。随着信息技术的发展,我们可以在家里或在世界上的任何地方工作和协同工作。这就为我们提供了可分散性,自给自足和可重用性。
正如著名的印度诗人泰戈尔在近一百年前告诉我们的那样:“上帝正在等待人类以智慧回到他们的童年”,双轮驱动模式为我们提供了一种恢复单轮驱动模式所带来的副作用的良好途径。
