Mobile internet and mobile phone a new way to Yaan earthquake rescue

    Wenchuan The great pain of the earthquake just calmed down, the earthquake again hit Sichuan Yaan. "I thought I was going to die," said a netizen who was nicknamed "Meaningless_" on April 20 morning 8:8. The epicenter must be in Lushan County! My house is broken! "     This Weibo is the earliest news from the quake zone. Subsequently, official news: April 20 8:02 A.M., Sichuan province Yaan Lushan County occurred 7 magnitude earthquake, focal depth 13 kilometers, the degree felt strongly. Earthquake Lushan County and surrounding area communication, power once large area interruption.      After a few 10 minutes, she again on the Micro-blog voice: "Still shaking!" Many people were smashed, the county house has been destroyed. Natural！ Many relatives are not connected, telephone impassability, life is fragile. "     April 20 The day, she posted a 13-piece message outside her home after the quake. Among them, 8 tweets were released before 10, and the text and picture information of the tweets became one of the few information available to the outside world within two hours of the Yaan quake.      Think back to the Wenchuan earthquake 5 years ago, when social media had not yet sprung up in China and people were relying more on the Internet, television and radio. From the Wenchuan to the Yaan quake, five years ago, the rescue force based on social platforms such as micro-blogs and micro-letters was unthinkable in the quake, and now the power of the earthquake relief effort is commendable.      After the earthquake, science and technology enterprises immediately showed a unique role. Communications operators first time to advance to the disaster areas to repair communications lines, Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba and other internet companies to donate money the first time, and through their own scientific and technological means to assist in disaster relief.      Disaster relief, in the praise of the same time, also exposed many problems, such as the Internet Enterprise tracing platform is different, information miscellaneous can not be screened to lead to inefficient. The two sides of social media are beginning to emerge. The openness and interoperability of information relies on the self-awareness of individual companies and lack of co-ordination, and the Internet companies ' coordination mechanisms based on disaster relief and the construction of open platforms or organizations are the next direction for people to work.      Mobile internet and mobile phone spawned new rescue channels      Ministry of Statistics shows that the number of Chinese mobile phone users reached 640 million in 2008. By the end of 2012, that figure had reached 1.1 billion. In the second year after the Wenchuan earthquake, the Ministry issued 3G licences in 2009 for smartphones based on 3G, and smartphone users are now moving toward a 500 million figure. Previously, in China, 2.5G-based smartphone users had just reached 50 in 20080.      No doubt, smartphone users grew 10 times times in 5 years, witnessing the development of 3G and the popularity of smartphones, and the emergence of a group of mobile Internet applications represented by social applications. In contrast to the point-to-point distribution of telephone and text messages, social networking points and multiple-spread features make it more efficient and more widespread to advertise and share information.      The 2011 earthquake in Japan, the Internet and mobile Internet value has begun to highlight, in the communications network into congestion, micro-bo, SNS, smartphone applications are fully used for tracing relief. In the Sichuan Yaan earthquake, social media has become an important way to understand earthquake news, and it has also become a way for the people to maintain the relief order and the public opinion to supervise the relief work.      Five years of information release priority upside down, mainstream media to give way to Umebo, micro-mail, such as media platform. The operators and equipment companies have been using Weibo for the first time to inform them of progress, faster than television stations and portals, and even TV and portal information from Weibo, compared with Wenchuan, a network portal and vertical media.      In the official media can not be the first time to obtain information or experience, microblogging users spontaneously called for attention in disaster relief, such as to avoid major traffic arteries. Users also in micro-Bo and micro-trust friends in the circle released after the earthquake self-help measures, earthquake relief for other users to reference. Because has experienced Wenchuan, Yushu and so on the big earthquake, people's experience is more sufficient, the response earthquake disaster is more calm.      At the same time, in the micro-letter, a group of micro-letter public accounts opened. "Lushan Earthquake Relief Account" published in Sichuan Yaan Lushan earthquake, the latest situation, rescue information, tracing and news of Ping An. Sichuan Yaan Propaganda Department also opened "Sichuan Yaan" as the official platform for the earthquake information release. Sichuan satellite TV Yaan Hotline, CCTV comments on these public accounts and Sichuan satellite TV, CCTV news channels, such as the implementation of information linkage, the whole day rolling broadcast news relief tracing. The value of      data is more prominent. After the earthquake, the phone can not be dialed, but there are many netizens through the micro-letter circle of friends to publish messages through the micro-letter of peace and exchange of information. "Micro-group, a variety of information exchange, including airport information, earthquake confirmation information, local information." "A netizen in the earthquake occurred after the departure to Chengdu, said."      SCI-tech enterprises lack of co-ordination in each other      in praise of scientific and technological enterprise innovation at the same time, two days, internet companies also gradually burst in the exchange of information issues.      on the search platform, Google based on the existing find PeRson function, the first to launch the tracing service. Baidu, 360, Sohu has been on-line tracing function. But because of the data is not coordinated, the information is mixed, truly through these platforms to find a few relatives.      April 21 morning, Zhou 袆, due to lack of experience, 360 missing platform also do not ideal, imperfect, and then, he appealed, the Internet enterprises should put aside grievances and entanglements, suggestions 360, Baidu, Sohu and other companies sent a working group, work together, Strive for each missing platform as soon as possible to achieve data sharing, and the most likely to ensure the authenticity of data. "I hope this will become a regular and coordinated communication mechanism for Internet companies to confront natural disasters," he said. "Zhou said.      For Zhou advocated the opening, Sogou CEO Wang Xiaoquan to respond that Sogou has and Sohu opened up the tracing data, play the search and media of their respective advantages, I hope Baidu and 360 joined. Sina Weibo also said that the microblogging open platform has liberalized the call to Sichuan data calls.      Such action is commendable, but still rely on the internet company's consciousness. From the current situation, the current disaster relief technology enterprises are in a state of their own, the automatic use of their own business value and scientific and technological means of disaster relief, the science and technology industry has no similar open community or organizations to intervene, the lack of co-ordination between enterprises and synergies, resulting in unnecessary duplication of work and inefficient.      An internet company said that the greatest significance of the open community or organization of science and Technology is to become a platform, more efficient integration of resources, simplifying the value of public goods flow, avoid wastage, improve the efficiency of disaster relief.      The problem is, because internet companies in recent years War frequently, each other more stereotypes, it is difficult to consciously set up such a body. Besides, who is the right person to play this role?      "It is best to have a credible organization, can be a government, the government can integrate a variety of scientific and technological means to establish scientific and technological open organizations, but the integration process needs to be transparent, otherwise it will repeat the Red Cross credit lack of mistakes." One person suggested.      It Enterprise's life can not bear the weight      from disaster relief back to the industry itself. In 5 years, first Wenchuan earthquake, this year is Yaan earthquake. Sichuan suffered a heavy blow. For IT companies, these five years is the "westward" strategy of the most radical five years, the western Silicon Valley agglomeration effect has gradually emerged.      The frequent geological disasters will affect the future investment and daily operation in Sichuan?      The answer to many companies is not. Lenovo officials make clear that it will not affect future investment and development in the West。      In the past few years, Chengdu, Chongqing and other regional advantages, as well as scientific and technological personnel, human habitat environment, market space, transportation and logistics conditions, coupled with the establishment of Chongqing Cuntan bonded zone, preferential tax relief and convenient customs formalities, has attracted Intel, Dell, Lenovo, Foxconn, Compal, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Moon and other it giants settled in. For example, Intel, 2003, chose to invest in Chengdu Construction chip test packaging plant. Intel official said at the time that this is the Shanghai, Suzhou, Shenzhen, Xian, Chengdu and other cities for up to two years of study and comparison made after the final choice. The      Wenchuan earthquake did not appear to have affected Intel's investment in Chengdu. In February 2009, Intel moved Shanghai's manufacturing plant to Chengdu, where it invested $600 million trillion in Chengdu.      In the Wenchuan earthquake occurred, Intel, Microsoft, Motorola, Alcatel, SMIC, IBM and other IT companies in Chengdu, Chongqing Branch, only a very small number of employees were slightly injured, some of the company's factories suffered from a degree of minor damage, Most businesses return to normal office within 5 days. How big is the impact of      earthquake disaster on IT companies?      It is understood that in all of the current earthquakes, only the 2011 earthquake in Japan caused a significant impact on it enterprises. The main IT companies in Japan, such as Sony, Toshiba and Nikon, were affected by the quake, and their major factories were once shut down or stalled. Because these companies control the supply of raw materials, electronic components and so on, the earthquake also spread to the entire global IT industry.      One of Intel's employees said it would consider earthquakes when considering where to invest, but it also needed to be weighed against other conditions.      "For example, San Francisco is also a city where earthquakes often erupt, but Intel chooses it as its headquarters." But Intel will not build factories in Japan because Japan is a more earthquake-shocked city. He stressed that earthquakes are very different from multiple earthquakes.
