Entropy will become an important symbol of the viability of cloud computing products system

Because of the essential differences between new and old companies in the Internet, old companies are largely unable to adapt when new trends emerge, according to the article by Eric Jackson, a contributing contributor to the Forbes website. This can be supported not only by theory, but also by precedent. As a result, Google and Facebook are likely to disappear completely over the next 5 to 8 years.

This point of view actually appeared a few years ago at the beginning of the cloud, but people don't think Google is likely to disappear in the next few years. In fact, as the article says, when revolutionary technologies emerge, traditional companies will be eliminated if they do not master new technologies. This is in line with the idea of an organization ecologist's "outdated responsibility" (liability of Obsolescence): The organization's internal product strategy becomes increasingly difficult to adapt to their environment over time. This is likely to be a reasonable explanation for the changing situation in the global science and technology industry today.

Entropy is an important symbol to measure the viability of an information product. Under the same external conditions, the low entropy system has a longer life time than the entropy system.

Entropy is essentially a mandatory rule, in a closed system, each of its members have the right to equal access to the system resources, ultimately achieve balance, balance means dead. Some scientists speculate that the universe in which humans live is an isolated system, which, despite being an ordered, unevenly distributed system, will be dead in accordance with the rules of entropy, without the impetus of external energies. Of course, this is only one of the assumptions, not necessarily the truth, so there is no need to worry.

Therefore, in the era of cloud computing, the current international It giants are also very likely to be eliminated, for China's small and medium-sized micro-enterprises, if it can master the real cloud computing core technology, take full advantage of China's market environment, to become the global IT giants the opportunity is great.
