Tired of living in a fast-paced city, you can't afford to relax in the quiet countryside. Even though you can convince a utilitarian mind to be indifferent for the moment, it is difficult to leave your love for a convenient information network. Thanks to modern technology, we no longer have to wait in the lobby of the Office as we used to make a daily call or wait in the lobby of the Office. communication networks are spread all over the world, even a mountain who visits himaya can connect to the Internet through a wireless network node with a signal amplifier between the Nepalese mountains. when modern machines are integrated with high-tech components, the user experience is also greatly improved, I believe that Moore's driving cars on the road must be comfortable and comfortable, but only IT technology and Moore's Law are hard to achieve, watt's car is essential. The material created by the industrial society is the foundation of our survival. We cannot rely only on virtual bits to live our lives. Let us face the reality. As the most powerful and most effective means of information transmission in modern society, the Internet has changed the way people live, work, and entertain. Jack, CEO of GM. Welch once told The Wall Street Journal that the Internet is the greatest change in his life-jack. Welch was born in 1936. What is Internet? The Internet is online for tens of millions of people around the world. Every person sitting in front of a computer can find the information they need in a very short period of time. In addition, everyone can communicate with each other, intercommunication, making friends, or talking about business ...... You only need a few dollars a day and can use it unlimited times at any time ...... Connect to the world. At present, the number of Internet users worldwide has exceeded 1 billion, and the annual value created by e-commerce has exceeded trillions of dollars. This huge revolution has taken place in the past decade, and the most representative product of the Industrial Age automobile took more than half a century to enter the middle-class family. We entered the golden age of the information age together with the whole world. We have seen more and more news reports about the information age replacing the industrial age. The fact is that it technology is not omnipotent. On the contrary, with the rapid development of the IT industry, our dependence on the industrial age is also increasing day by day. There is no denying that the Internet is a real revolution, but it is not mature enough. The most powerful part of the Internet is its weakest link-large, complex, and chaotic. High Technology is everywhere on the Internet, the rich information and fancy pages attract people's attention and satisfy the spiritual needs of viewers. What is lacking on the internet is material. No matter how many small commodities are, they must also face the delivery challenge, developed e-businesses cannot send chewing gum to customers by email, and distribution requires convenient and efficient transportation. Most of the time, it takes only a few minutes for us to complete online order and payment, but we have to wait two days or even a week before receiving the order. Many contestants who are challenging the limits of the survival of the Internet cannot even look forward to soy milk fritters when they are the most hungry. In the real world, there are very few people who plan their food in advance, instant meals are still the most reliable and safe way to eat. In addition, there are too many uncertain and unreliable factors on the Internet. Not every website can ensure that the system runs normally all the time. Customers may experience unpleasant experiences when traveling wrong, in addition to the economic losses, the worse effect is that the trust in the website will go straight down. In many cases, many companies prefer to do key things in the traditional way. Therefore, after credit consumption, we always receive bills sent by banks at home or at the company, if it is an email, it is likely to be ignored or automatically deleted as junk information. The industrial age has created a rich and material world for us. In contrast, the application dedicated to the Information Age is somewhat monotonous. Although computers are already very powerful, most families only use them to write, play video games, chat online, and enjoy music or movies, the number of users who create multimedia content accounts for a very small proportion. The application frequency is usually no more than twice a week. The number of users who frequently use financial statements or scientific computing functions is even negligible. Thanks to Moore's Law, the performance of electronic products doubles in a short period of time, and the pace of metabolism is also proportional to it, the result is that computers that run fast a year or a half ago don't bother to look at them any more, in the face of applications that require several GB of hard disk space and several hundred megabytes of memory capacity, these seemingly non-strange metal boxes are already worthy of the name. In a sense, consumers are paying for it technology travel, although we have also paid for some of the price, but in general everything is still moving towards a positive aspect. The price of IT products is getting cheaper, but it can no longer be as durable as it was originally. Is the information age running too fast? Or is the industrial age too slow? This is a difficult question to answer. However, it is certain that the integration of the two eras is getting closer and closer, and different channels complement each other in different links at different times to achieve the goal. In the industrial age, the emergence of information technology is not the end but the continuation and expansion. Please do not forget that industrial production is still the mainstay of the whole society. Let us be grateful to the starters of modern civilization, such as Bell, the inventor of the telephone, rather than Watt ).
