Abstract
[eng] Having located the present technological changes in the Christopher Freeman's classification, this paper displays the importance of the interference of new technologies diffusion with the growing intricacies between national economies. Hence, international networks of collective cleverness are under extension and offset the growing number of single owners of small fragments of this cleverness. The main consequences of this transformation are less the spreading unemployment than the revelation that, from a macro-economic point of view, the rythm of technical progress has slowed down for 15 years, and the development of a middle class of skilled technicians replacing workers and employees. [fre] Après avoir situé les changements technologiques actuellement en cours dans la grille conçue par Christopher Freeman, cet article met en évidence l'importance de l'interférence de la diffusion des nouvelles technologies avec l'interdépendance croissante des économies nationales. Il en résulte un développement de réseaux internationaux d'intelligence collective qui contrebalancent l'augmentation du nombre des dépositaires uniques d'une parcelle de cette intelligence. Les principales conséquences de cette transformation sont moins dans l'extension du chômage que la révélation du fait que, considéré d'un point de vue macro-économique, le rythme du progrès technique reste orienté à la baisse depuis quinze ans, et que se développe une classe moyenne de techniciens qualifiés aux dépens des ouvriers et des employés.
