The forming of Technology is a historic and diversiform way.In the past,Philosophical Heckling on technology take technology as a whole.We should pay more attention to specific technology for its own technical analysis and investigation after "Empirical turn".NBIC convergence technology is the current frontier of technology development.It is more than ten years since the introduction Convergence technology.Nanotechnology,biotechnologyy,and information technology has already made a major breakthrough in industrial production,mainly in brain science have also made significant cognitive science research.It has made many breakthroughs between the four technologies such as nano-biotechnology,-information technology.It is also has great significance from the perspective of ontology research on converging technologies for our understanding and exploring the law of development of NBIC.What is the nature of converging technology;how they are converging;what point is the result of technological convergence;What is the difference among technology convergence,the evolution of technology,integration of technology and other related concepts;What is the background and causes of technology convergence;It is needed to explore further the relationship between converging technology and new technological revolution,etc.Converging technologies reflect the unity of material,emergence of technical system as well as unity of philosophical analysis and synthesis and so on.Convergence make the"nature is a common link,a unified whole" philosophical proposition to be reflected at the technical level;converging technologies emerge fully explain the special nature of the technology system "as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts.";converging technologies also suggests that we should pay attention to two ways of combination integrated development process analysis,so as to continuously create new technologies.Converging technologies also highlights the technical convergence of this new technology development.Technology convergence principle also be used to interpret a breakthrough technology to drive advances throughout the technology group.Interpretation and technical evolution,technology integration,technology development process of technological development in different ways,the current convergence of technology to promote technological development through the integration of technologies.Convergence of nanotechnology,biotechnology,information technology and cognitive science and other technical convergence promote modern technology to the fine and intelligent direction.Principle of technology convergence can also be used to explain technical breakthrough of technology progress.Development converging technologies depend on its own power,but also social needs external power.Development of converging technologies have been related to human beings.Technology is no longer just an intermediary between man and nature,has been involved in the construction of human beings.Development of converging technologies bring new social impact and ethical dilemmas,such as Ethical issues of man machine unification,human enhancement.We need new technical specification and ethical norms to regulate the development of converging technologies.If we dig deep into the potential of convergence technology,and strengthen the technical basis of social development through technology integration,then the social development of material production and spiritual and cultural production is not only feasible,but also feasible.The ideal of a rich man’s life is no longer impossible,we should and will have a bright future!...
