摘要：
人类技术历史可以分为农耕文明、机械文明、电气文明、信息文明和数字文明五大时代。数字全球化开启了数字文明时代，赋予技术异于以往所有文明时代的新内涵。数字全球化具有全球互联、全局数字智能化、全球数字社会化三大特性，使纯粹的技术中立更加难以存续。“数字连接关系”是数字全球化时代技术中立的标准。越是深度触及“数字连接关系”的技术，技术所涉及的连接关系越具有群体性，越难以保持中立。技术决定论将数字技术引发的数字革命视为技术脱离人类控制并最终超越人类智慧的客观规律，是技术中立的代表性论调，从后果、目的等视角审视技术也可能产生技术中立幻象。数字技术发展的现实表明“数字连接关系”存在被干扰、扭曲和破坏的情形，对技术中立的侵蚀正在制造纷争和风险。追求霸权的国家、追求超限度政治利益的实体、追求超额利润和垄断地位的公司等是数字全球化时代技术非中立化的主要肇始者。

Abstract:
Human technological history divides into five eras: agricultural civilization, mechanical civilization, electronic civilization, informational civilization, and digital civilization. Digital globalization starts the digital civilization era, endowing technology neutrality new connotation different from other civilization eras. Digital globalization has three features: Global connectivity, comprehensive digital intelligence, and global digital socialization, which render pure technology neutrality difficult to survive. “Digital connectivity relationship” is the standard of technology neutrality in the era of digital globalization. The more technology touches the “digital connectivity relationship”, the more difficultly it sustains neutrality. The reality of technology development demonstrates that there are circumstances where “digital connectivity relationship” is interrupted, distorted and damaged, thus the erosion of technology neutrality is producing conflicts and risks.
Key words:
digital globalization,
technology neutrality,
digital technology,
technology civilization
