Mobile terminals and cloud computing will be the priority of IT industry

The recent closing of the Boao Forum for Asia, the annual meeting, is a gathering, brainstorming. With readers concerned about the future development of IT industry, as well as how technology innovation and other issues, science and technology daily reporter interviewed Microsoft Global Senior vice President, Microsoft Asia-Pacific Research and Development Group chairman Dr. Zhang. He said the word "secret": Market, technology and many other needs will promote IT industry technology innovation, cloud computing, human-computer interaction and other technologies will lead the IT industry a new round of revolution.

Mobile terminals and cloud computing will be the priority of IT industry

Zhang that, from the ipod to the iphone to the ipad, Apple's success in changing the rules of the IT market has profoundly affected users ' habits and needs. With the advent of mobile internet and cloud computing era, people access to the Internet more and more, not only traditional operating systems and browsers, micro-mail, mobile payment and other emerging applications has become a user access to the Internet is an important way. The core of competition in the future IT industry is the scramble for Internet "portal" and cloud computing.

Dr. Zhang said that Microsoft, in response to the changing situation, proposed a "mobile terminal priority" "cloud priority" development strategy. Microsoft will pay more attention to the integration of software and mobile devices and cloud computing, and build a new business model of "Device + service". On the one hand, through the promotion of Surface tablet computer, the acquisition of Nokia into the mobile terminal equipment market, and continue to maintain in the server and game hardware market share, on the other hand, using their own technical advantages, to use Microsoft equipment to provide users with advanced cloud services.

Human-Computer interaction technology will bring about a new round of IT industry change

A few years ago in science fiction movies, often appeared computer and people to talk, read people's movements and expressions of the scene. These "future technologies" are soon to come true, and now it's a common thing to ask Siri what the weather is like today, or to play a game of body games at home dancing. While it's not always possible for these devices to fully comprehend your intentions or even react to the irony, this is still an exciting step forward for human-computer interaction technology.

Zhang that after years of research and development, voice, multi-touch, computer vision technology, such as human-machine interaction has been developed rapidly, with large-scale industrialization, commercialization of the foundation. In the near future, people will be able to use eyes, gestures, movements, voice and other intuitive way to a variety of electronic devices more accurate orders, computers, television and video game consoles can "sense" these instructions. This will be another profound technological change in the IT industry. In this process, the software is the core of technology breakthrough, a variety of embedded platforms, applications and services, human-computer interaction tools, as well as new development patterns and presentation mode, are inseparable from more advanced software-driven support.

Market and many other needs will promote IT industry technology innovation

Talking about how China's IT industry to develop technological innovation, Dr. Zhang mentioned a word "necessity". Demand, especially in markets and technology, should be the driving force behind innovation in the IT industry, he explained. At present, China's IT industry does not have too many cutting-edge technology, technological innovation is still a long way to stay. Thanks to the enormous capacity of the market, China's IT enterprises rapid development, scale efficiency is obvious, but on the other hand, this also makes some domestic it enterprises complacent, lack of awareness, the external power to carry out technological innovation is insufficient, unwilling or afraid to enter the forefront of technical fields.

With the increasing demand of users, the competition in the future of mobile terminals, cloud computing and human-computer interaction has just begun, Zhang said. Under the background of globalization, it enterprises at home and abroad will compete for this huge emerging market, and Chinese enterprises ' opportunities and challenges coexist.

Today, the pattern of China's internet has undergone profound changes, those who rely on the "cottage" and follow the trend in the market "cake" of the IT enterprise life is not easy, want to attract users, only innovation, need to come up with truly ingenious new technology. It enterprises only change the development mode as soon as possible, increase the investment in research and development, and strive to develop cutting-edge technology to adapt to the future market demand, in the fierce competition to survive. "Jungle Law" will eliminate a group of weak technical innovation market participants, but in the long run, the benefit of the vast number of Internet users and the Chinese IT industry.
