China missed the industrial revolution, but didn't miss the internet

[Editor's note: Some scholars believe that the Internet is the only great invention that can be tied to a steam engine at present.] Carefully pondering, the United States, Europe, the three major economies are worth pondering. The United States is strong because he seized the opportunity in the Industrial Revolution and the Internet revolution, while Europe, although the first to seize the opportunity of the industrial revolution, but in the internet revolution is somewhat desolate.

Evening Wine Bureau, there are two friends let me very sigh. One from Chengdu to Beijing to receive an award, has not met for several years, asked him to open the bookstore, only to know that the door has already closed. Think of that year, "31 bookstore" This font size, in Chengdu that is a symbol, literary youth flocking. The other is my hair small, although we are all in Beijing, but not a few times a year, mostly stained with the light of the party.

The decline of Friends bookstore, because when Amazon and other online bookstore impact, small and I met very little, because a lot of things through micro-letter communication is done.

These results are all brought by the monster called the Internet.

A former friend is the beast. The impact on the traditional business system; After a friend, it is this monster for the impact of life style, so that "friends become netizens." You see: Chat software After the rise, walking home rag less; after the rise of E-commerce, the real sale of the day; After the rise of internet reading, traditional literature died ...

Some scholars believe that the Internet is the only one can be tied with the steam engine of the great invention.

The steam engine let the world into the industrial era, and the internet to make the world into the Information Age gateway. In the 20th century century, the inventors of the internet had not foreseen that their mere connection to two computers would bring about social change.

As of September 2014, a total of 69 billion dollars above the market capitalisation of super companies, mainly in the United States, Europe, the three major economies. The United States, in particular, accounts for nearly half of the total number of super companies in 33. Europe, the birthplace of the industrial Revolution, followed, with 21 seats – but mostly manufacturing companies, and none of the new-it and internet-industry companies were among the "super clubs".

In the third China, there are 9 big crocodiles among hundreds of billions of dollars worth of money, in addition to Taiwan's TSMC, the remaining 8 mainland enterprises, 6 of the Central enterprise giants-Mobile, PetroChina and the four major state-owned commercial banks, the other two are the internet "upstart", Tencent and Alibaba.

To some extent, such a super corporate Atlas is the epitome and projection of global economic competitiveness. For example, Europe, the list of hundreds of billions of market capitalisation, advanced manufacturing (automotive, machinery, biomedical manufacturing, etc.) occupy a large proportion. For example, Germany Volkswagen, Daimler, Siemens, France, Connaught, Switzerland Novartis, British GlaxoSmithKline and so on.

Europe as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, its advanced manufacturing industry has been leading the global manufacturing trend, is really strong "high value manufacturing" level of the world's factory. Unfortunately, there are no IT companies in Europe's billions of market-listed companies. Internet without Borders, the United States Internet has dominated the Internet field in Europe and America, the glory of the European nautical era seems to have gradually gone.

Carefully pondering, the United States, Europe, the three major economies are worth pondering. The United States is strong because he seized the opportunity in the Industrial Revolution and the Internet revolution, while Europe, although the first to seize the opportunity of the industrial revolution, but in the internet revolution is somewhat desolate. The Chinese market is a wonderful flower, missed the industrial Revolution, so the internet revolution as a straw.

So the question is, what's the strong Internet technology? Internet revolution, are we ready? How to deal with the subversion of the Internet to the traditional domain?

Most people look at it in the early days of the internet, using just a new thing like radio, television or mobile phones, unaware of the revolution it will bring. So in this process, produced all sorts of sigh. It was then gradually discovered that some traditional things were in the doldrums, or were directly replaced by virtual models created by the Internet.

The historical change that the dream produces is terrible, the Internet, is originates from the human to break through the time space the sharing desire, and eliminates the traditional status, the privilege dream. The first computer and computer communication is only the transmission of the word "LOGIN", and now, people can use the network instead of the original other than tactile communication, to build a social network with the real society.

As the father of the Internet Taylor said, "No matter where you are, you are online."

It seems that the past things like a defenseless city, one after another by the "fall", panic and overwhelmed spontaneously. Trance, we found that around the bookstore gradually less, around the photo studio slowly less, around the CD shop gradually beautiful music ... We have not remember, the last time the telegram was monkey, the last time to buy software in the physical store is horse month ...

Behind this big change "movement" is not "the internet is fierce like a tiger" but we are not ready. Not only are ordinary people unprepared, even the Internet revolutionaries are unprepared. Ma Yun Horse ma These two horses are expressed in different occasions, the company's development beyond their imagination, many are not yet carefully prepared to rush to the horse.

Humans have been preparing for the industrial revolution for thousands of years, but have not been prepared for the same level of Internet revolution ... Whether you are ready or not, the wings of this internet monster have been waving ...
