In his book "What Technology Wants," Kelly writes: "Technology wants what life wants: Increasing efficiency; Increasing opportunity; Increasing emergence; Increasing complexity; Increasing diversity; Increasing specialization; Increasing ubiquity; Increasing freedom; Increasing mutualism; Increasing beauty; Increasing sentience; Increasing structure; Increasing evolvability".
Although specialization increased, teamwork became the norm.
The finding for intermarried female households is reversed, and gender-based specialization increases, when controls for human capital are introduced.
A follow-up study did not show that incubator specialization increased internal networking (Schwartz and Hornych 2010).
As specialization increases, so too does the value indeed the necessity of working with experts in fields and subfields outside one's own.
When agricultural specialization increases and moves to broader scales as a result of improved infrastructure and markets or other drivers, ecosystem functions can also be endangered at broader spatial scales.
This correlation has traditionally been interpreted as the result of floral specialization increasing speciation rates.
Vázquez & Simberloff [ 62] however refuted the idea that specialization increases with disturbance and two studies found the opposite pattern: bird communities in disturbed habitats were more specialized [ 74, 75].
However, the reduction in population size that typically accompanies specialization increases the effect of genetic drift, which is now able to fix more of the deleterious transpositions into the population.
Furthermore, increasing hospital specialization also increased their size.
Specialization may increase efficiency in some tasks, but diversification also has advantages.
