Future development of the electronics industry

The vibration that Apple brings to this industry is too high. Many manufacturers, including DVD, DVB, mobile phone, and ebook reader, are affected. When everyone is not back, Apple has been quickly attacked and become an industry leader. In the past, Nokia, Microsoft, Intel, and other overlord, the seemingly insurmountable position was quickly surpassed. You have to lament that the world has changed too fast.

As an engineer who has been working for five years, on the one hand, he is under pressure for such rapid changes, and on the other hand, he is excited for this opportunity. Due to its own work in the development of DVB solutions, we have made some opinions on the development direction of the entire electronic product.

First of all, in terms of the development model, the current proprietary platform application development will certainly develop towards the open application direction, that is, the app store model, as will the development of DVD/DVB. In my current company, the UI, driver, and app are all self-developed. The customer needs a feature that must be supported by the original manufacturer.CodeThe first reason for the control is that the customer's technical capabilities have not been developed, so engineers are very tired and busy with various needs and have no time to perform in-depth and meticulous basic development. If it is open development, you can run everything on a single platform, then there will be a lot of applications, so that manufacturers can focus on platform development. This is also the reason why everyone is now in Porting andriod, and the general direction is here.

Second, there will be more and more applications for interconnection of various devices. In order to provide consistent user experience, the upper-layer development, PC/mobile phone/TV will become more and more consistent. Maybe a virtual machine is run on the IC, and its applications are all run on it, so JavaScript, HTML5, and Java become the main force of development. The original app development with C may gradually disappear. Of course, this is just my prediction.

This industry is increasingly becoming a game for big players. The industry leader has built powerful and complete technical Patent barriers, making it difficult for later entrants. However, in any case, as a common member in this industry, let yourself keep up with the trend of the times to have a foothold.
