2016 is coming to an end soon, looking back on this year, we have witnessed countless possibilities and impossible. In this year, the international politics surging, the world economy develops slowly, but 2016 years Internet circle is very not peaceful, the hot incident frequency, these events some let us be excited unusual, some let us bitterly.

High-tech, need repair

1. Samsung bombing event

Samsung this year originally wanted to take Note 7来 front back to the IPhone 7, unfortunately, because the aggressive design caused the battery problem, and then triggered the user's hand note 7 battery explosion event. Samsung said at first that it would not recall the Note7 in China, but as the event continued to ferment, Samsung Note7 stopped selling and recalled all, and the fate of the Andro was over, but in this event, Samsung's arrogant attitude towards users in China was impressive. The explosion not only lost Samsung and Apple a higher chance, but also blew up Samsung's long-established brand reputation, which is far more serious than the direct loss caused by Galaxy Note7. It seems that to get out of the shadow of Galaxy Note7, Samsung needs more than just better, safer products, but also a long-term brand building in the future.

2. Fake news and misuse of social media

Google, Facebook and Twitter have announced that they will fight false news, hate speech and social media abuses in their own way. Facebook, Twitter and Google have been blamed for this year's U.S. presidential election because of the huge number of false news and even voter votes that have been affected by these platforms. Twitter is offenses more severe because it has ignored abusive rhetoric on its platform, such as racial assault and threat of violence, and has not taken a proactive approach. For Facebook and Twitter, false news is becoming a worsening problem. On both social media platforms, it seems that users rarely verify the source of news messages. To make things worse, Twitter is a breaking news and a place where some citizen journalists spread their news, and it's the main source of bad news.

3. Virtual Assistant

Virtual Assistant Market Competition is very fierce, currently divided into two major categories: one is the apple Siri, Amazon Alexa and other representative of the comprehensive virtual Assistant, the other is Amy as the representative of the Office Assistant. In some relatively harsh tests, these virtual assistants are unable to perform some of the most common tasks. Alexa, for example, has appeared in the "Super Bowl" Bowl commercials, but still can't answer who took part in the Super Bowl game. Google Assistant can not order meals, also can not call takeout. Siri does not have a sense of direction and the direction of the map is unreliable.

Technology has been repaired

1. Wireless Internet access

Over the past year, Tp-link, Asus and Netgear have introduced the latest router products. These products become smarter and wireless transmissions are faster. In addition, Google and startups Eero make it easier to build WiFi networks, especially for non-technical people.

2. Virtual reality

The virtual reality is finally coming, and it's better than we thought. At present, the more leading companies in this field include Oculus, Facebook, Samsung, HTC, Valve, Sony, and, of course, Google. Most of them revolve around the content of the game, thus restricting the user base, although VR technology has made considerable progress this year.

3. Streaming video Live

This year with the rapid development of network video live streaming, all kinds of video streaming applications are endless, video live content is full of tricks. In the first half of the year, 320 million Chinese netizens watched the webcast. But this year, Twitter's Periscope and Facebook live have made mobile video streaming simple and popular with consumers. The popularity of streaming video broadcast has made network video an important medium. Check out your Facebook news feed to see how often people publish videos, and then compare the frequency of sending pictures and text, and you'll find that video is irresistible.
