From Internet to offline

People who work on the Internet are used to moving everything to the Internet: website browsing, email, Im, online office, file sharing ...... Even now, online ordering is popular. I wonder if I can book a restroom online in the future?

The Internet is an extension of human activity and another form of human activity. However, after we enter the internet, we seem to have evolved into a dead space. Our thinking is confined to the Internet circle itself. We also think that everything that has nothing to do with the Internet has nothing to do with us, we are no longer interested in it. We persistently try to copy all human activities to the Internet, otherwise we will never give up.

In fact, we overestimate the role of the Internet. We overestimate the Internet and ourselves. After dividing the Internet from the "Traditional Industry", we also divided ourselves into high-tech elites. In fact, we forced ourselves into a dead corner.

No industry is isolated, and the Internet is no exception. If the Internet is used as an isolated industry, it is definitely dead. As a supplement and extension of the traditional industry, the Internet industry may be more appropriate. That is to say, if we base ourselves on the traditional industry and enable the internet as a tool to serve the traditional industry, the Internet industry may look different. The fact is that the Internet will never replace some traditional industries, such as manufacturing, transportation ...... Because it is impossible for us to build cars on the internet, nor to penetrate the network cable into another corner of the world. The Internet industry is an eye-catching economy. The advantage of the Internet is information transmission. It is possible for the Internet to intervene in the hinterland of communications, television, newspapers, education, advertising, and other industries, however, some industries can only be supplemented and decorated.

Therefore, people who work on the Internet should not do the internet for the Internet, and our thinking should be more open. We should not bind our livelihood and business at the end of the network cable, network connectivity is just like losing your life. We need to combine online and offline, and offline may be more important, more real, and more direct than online. If we try to combine online forum discussions, business activities, dating, meetings, and other activities with offline ones, the situation and effect will certainly be quite different.
