How does technology evolve?

Some answers:

NTY Mag, Building One Big Brain by Robert Wright (2010).

TED Talks, How Technology Evolves by Kevin Kelly (2005):


And perhaps a prescient view? Darwin Among the Machines, by Samuel Butler (1863). Money quote:
Our opinion is that war to the death should be instantly proclaimed against them. Every machine of every sort should be destroyed by the well-wisher of his species.
