技術(shù)統(tǒng)治者成為新貴

????但從社會經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)的角度說,，在這個生物科技統(tǒng)治的未來也并不是眾生平等。各種新技術(shù)將在我們周圍涌現(xiàn),，馬丁說,，那些掌握尖端技術(shù)的人將會成為社會的精英。這和當(dāng)今的智能設(shè)備文化相比似乎并沒有太大差別,，能有最新版的智能產(chǎn)品是社會和（或）經(jīng)濟(jì)地位的象征,。但iPhone只是一個物體，而身體和大腦卻遠(yuǎn)不止是配件或裝飾品那么簡單,。改善認(rèn)知功能的能力給一些人帶來的優(yōu)勢遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過擁有一個屏幕更出色的智能手機(jī),。

????馬丁說，技術(shù)的統(tǒng)治者將成為新的貴族,。那些擁有最好的技術(shù),、而不是最多物質(zhì)的人（很有可能有人會兩者兼得，但并不一定）,，將會成為社會頂層1%的新精英,。

Technocracy, the new aristocracy

????But from a socioeconomic standpoint, not everything is going to be fair in this bio-technologically augmented future. Technology will be avalanching all around us, Martin says, and those who have the best technology will be society's elites. That may not seem so different than today's gadget culture, where having the latest iteration of iProduct can be an indication of social and/or economic status. But the iPhone is an object. The body and brain, on the other hand, are more than accessories or adornments. The ability to enhance cognitive function will put some people at an advantage that goes far beyond better screen resolution on one's smartphone.

????The technocracy will be the new aristocracy, Martin said. Those with access to the best technology, rather than those with the most material stuff (the two very well might go hand-in-hand, but not necessarily), will be the new one percent.
