Technology is changing the way people work and how they live

Technology is changing the way people work and living habits, subversion of the traditional society.

Ten years ago, perhaps no one knows that in a year's time there will be a telecoms product called the iphone, and no one knows that over the next few years, the product will subvert most people's perception of the phone, the Internet, and even the product that creates a business ecosystem based on the mobile end, This is the mobile Internet ecology that everybody sees today.

Five years ago, perhaps no one knows that in five years after the Chinese electric Chamber is so developed, you do not even have to go out, the Internet can buy the necessities of life, and within a few hours can be sent to your hands. In a few years this process will be shorter, really need to be, this is what we see today, the Chinese-style electric dealers.

Similar changes abound, and these are the power of technological innovation.

Technology industry, no forever Giant

The development track of science and technology industry is reviewed. You will find that after each technological wave, there will be a group of "giants" companies, most of them because of the last wave of technology to stand up. Yahoo So, Google so, 3M so, Nokia is also so, the cycle, this rule has not changed, it seems that the entire technology industry will not be forever giant, Bill Gates has said "Microsoft from bankruptcy is always only 18 months."

The main problem is the innovation ability of the enterprise, and the innovation ability is completely attached to the individual such as "person", relative to the manufacturing, development and other mechanized processes, people are difficult to control, because everyone has independent thinking, and can not be copied. We can also understand that "innovation depends on people, talent is difficult to find", the issue of talent is perhaps the problem of all technology companies are facing.

And Lenovo to this problem, the adoption of the "from the masses, to the masses," the self-circulation mode, or a mode of creation. Lenovo through the media (Sohu) in collaboration with the "Create a customer contest", the use of Sohu's own influence to attract potential talent, and good project participation in the process to explore potential talent, potential projects, and the use of Lenovo in the commercialization of the experience, resources to help its commercialization, and finally achieve and create a double win.

So, what exactly is a visitor?

Creators, from the English word "maker", refers to those who do not profit as the goal, and strive to turn ideas into reality, the main use of open source software and hardware for user experience level of innovation, rather than technical aspects of innovation, we can also be understood as a micro-innovation. Lenovo mobile phones in the Qualcomm processor, Android system based on a round of innovation, thereby enhancing the user experience.

The creation of a guest is also an attitude. Just like Lenovo's copy of the creation contest. "Those great changes are often inspired by flashes of inspiration, achievements in the practice of perseverance, those who refuse to wait for change, in pursuit of crazy ideas and to do the end of the people, is a customer."

The creators are a wave, as Chris (editor-in-chief of the original Wired magazine) described as "the imminent industrial revolution is custom, personalized and small-scale production, which may be unreliable and inefficient under the traditional mass-industrialized manufacturing line, but it is so simple to combine with a personal computer via an internet platform."

Lenovo, using group intelligence to promote scientific and technological innovation

If one's wisdom is limited, then the wisdom of a group of people cannot be imagined. Lenovo to create a customer competition is the use of this group of wisdom to promote scientific and technological innovation, the competition focused on "intelligent electronic products, smart furniture users, data visual design, innovative apparel design" four major areas, aimed at the creation of innovative results to benefit the public.

During the contest, a total of more than 50,000 creators competed to create nearly 100,000 entries and more than 700,000 people participated in the voting. Here, everyone is a creator, there is no origin, occupation, age, gender, only "fun" products. Many creators themselves are products of the user, but also the creator of the product. So they represent the user to a certain extent, more can create the product that the user hopes for.

Not only that, this time the creation of the competition Lenovo also used the ethnic effect. Through Lenovo to provide the platform, Sohu and other media continued to report, creators in the competition will also form a group of their own death powder, and even in the future through the public-chip model will create the creative results of the creation of customers (let users customize their favorite products, by Lenovo small batch production), and sold to like the creative results of users.

Lenovo Group vice president, China CMO Weijianglei said: "The competition has reached a number of the most, become China's largest, submitted works, the largest number of participants in the Creative collection event." Through the competition platform, more people have been concerned about the private innovation force, innovation is no longer the expertise of a few, an innovative technology civilian, innovative ideas manifested in the creation of the movement is underway, ' the era of Creation ' has come. ”

However, for China as a whole, the era of creation will be the most beautiful period, but also "China to create" to "China to create" the historical moment. So let us look forward to the creative results of the creation of the final product to become a reality.
