The reasons that hinder China's innovation

In addition to the four major inventions, China also invented how many great things? The plane is not, the train is not, the car is not, the electric light is not, the telegram is not, the telephone is not, the computer is not, the Internet is not!

A little closer to the Internet. Why would Yahoo have Sina, Sohu? Why would Google first have the search, Baidu? Why would there be a Twitter before the rice, Micro bo? Why first have the pintrest only beautiful say, Mushroom Street? Why does Amazon have to be the first, Jing Dong? Why EBay has Taobao, Pat, this is why?

Is it because the Chinese are not smart enough? Of course not. The result is good, the Olympian champion, basically is the Chinese!

One of my colleagues gave it to me yesterday he was thinking about a problem: "A lot of people teach us not to reinvent the wheel, so who's going to invent the wheel?" Yes, why are all kinds of wheels not invented by Chinese people? Now no company is not talking about innovation, but copying foreign innovation has become a habit, we have habitually brought over a foreign wheel, and then transformed into a Chinese-style wheel.

Who is hindering our ability to innovate?

Noon colleagues asked me if I have a good network album recommended, requirements are: at least 1T space, speed, stability, the most important is to be free! Another colleague said: I heard that the Internet has a high-definition version of the "West Tour" free download, the evening to download to see.

Another colleague said that his classmate had married a foreign programmer and was the initiator of log4j. Log4j is an open source package, free of charge. But a lot of users and companies will find this promoter and donate to him because they use this package. Sadly, it is hard for these donors to find the names of Chinese people.

Wait, is it free to stifle innovation?

Of course not. Domestic free things, like foreign there is a free existence.

Is it because the Chinese are accustomed to consuming free things that lead to a decline in innovation ability? Also not, if these are free, the habit of free also nothing bad!

So who is stifling the innovative power of China's internet?

The answer is ourselves, our mindset, the "feedback" mentality that we often forget and seldom realize.

We are used to taking and forgetting to give.

The Sina Weibo I opened three years ago, account "Taobao Ghost Foot Seven" has more than 120,000 fans, Weibo letters open, in addition to the seller came to ask questions, there are some strangers often send some requests come over, "ghost teacher, our company engaged in activities, can you help me forward that activity micro Bo?" " 7 elder brother, I am looking for a job recently, write a resume, you help me to turn. ”...... I was curious to know why these people want my help.

My micro-letter (account Taobaoguijiaoqi) opened less than two months, more than 10,000 people subscribe. A few times at the end of the article test from the media ads, some usually never speak to my fans to send me a micro-letter said: "7 elder brother you don't add ads, then I will cancel the attention!" There are several times because I was too busy, a few days did not update, some people reply to the micro-letter said: "Boring, but also a cop-out, tomorrow no update will never cancel the attention!" My reply at that time said: "You cancel now, do not wait later." ”

Actually, I'm not feeling well. People who like to write articles know that writing a good article out is really not easy. I finish my work every day, about 10 o ' hour after the beginning of writing articles, finished with the revision of at least two or three hours, I believe that other authors are similar. But most fans are used to reading these articles for free and don't think about what the author has done behind the scenes. (Of course, some fans will give me thanks and encouragement in the micro-letter, thank you!)

Wrote a good article, there will be a lot of media reprint, they copy the content of the past, the regular media, the department on my name, but will be my micro-signal and personal introduction part of all removed. Not even a name. They are also used to getting, but forget to give back to these media authors. The authors who have just begun to play with the media want their micro-signals to be exposed.

Taobao also encountered similar things, many sellers complain Taobao search did not give him the flow, complained that Taobao did not give him support policy, complaining about free activities every time, complained that customer service phone is not good to play ... Not to say that these sellers have a mentality problem, I can understand them, competition is very fierce, Taobao also has a lot of places not perfect. To cite these examples, we just want to show that we are used to obtaining and forgetting to give back.

I myself too, before I like to download software to crack, watch pirated movies, watch free books. I love to see the fantasy novel, many of the previous beginning of the serial novel fee section, I have to search the Internet to see free. In order to find a software to crack the software, sometimes spend a long half a day. (In fact, some software is only more than 10 yuan).

But now I'm starting to change, and I'm going to pay for the VIP chapters like books, I hope the author can continue to refuel, I will go to the cinema to see a film, I hope the director has a better film out; I will download some fee games, because my daughter likes this game, I would like to thank the author; Because Weibo has given me a lot of fun, I want to thank Sina, I will pay for the first instalment, because micro-letters help me a lot ...

Once and a few sellers friends tea chat Exchange Taobao experience, there is a year of sales not small sellers are proud to say: "I do taobao these years, never spend a penny to buy ads, are relying on their own operating activities and repeat customers." "The Friends around me admired, and I admired it," he said.

But then there was a seller friend said a word, let me feel very deep: "I am not so, our sales are not low, but I let the company spend some advertising fee to buy through train and drill show, not because I do not buy ads do not good, but I think I made a lot of money from Taobao, but also should let Taobao earn some money. So the ecology can be balanced. "To tell the truth I admire his state of the extreme, not because he said to let Taobao make money, but because of his business philosophy, his feedback mentality." He is the Jianguo of the sea.

Writing here seems to have nothing to do with Internet innovation. It really does matter--

Imagine if someone would have been inspired to send me a thank-you note because I had written an article that would be rewarding to him. Even stay up late, next time I will continue to write, writing is also a kind of innovation; if some people sponsor a free software, even if they don't have much money, The authors of this free software are certainly encouraged redouble efforts to develop, and perhaps newer ideas come out; if someone often a community forum to see jokes, feel very happy, the initiative to build a community webmaster some sponsorship, webmaster may not be so utilitarian, not to put so much weight loss breast Yang Yang ads, Maybe have the energy to make a new social networking site ...

What is happiness? Be needed "is happiness. When a person is needed by society, it is a self-fulfilling realization. This time the creative ability will be much better than the food and clothing problems. Feedback is to express your need for his results.

At this time, you should really understand my point of view. Who kills the creative power of China's internet?

The movie "Miserable World" is a great film, after more than 10 years, there is a scene that I still impressive. Jean Valjean, who had been released, stole the bishop's silver and was arrested, but the bishop helped him cheat the police, and finally gave Jean Valjean the silver, and Jean Valjean asked the Bishop why he did it. The bishop said to Jean Valjean:

"A long time ago, I knew that life is giving, not getting, let me pay, as in return, promise you will pay." ”

Do not expect everyone to give, as long as one day, we have more and more people, in the acquisition of feedback, our innovative ability will automatically recover.

Look forward to that day, around us, countless bright innovators full of blood resurrection!

PS: This article is my personal life feelings, such as the beginning of the article, the topic is too big, I write an article can find the answer. That's what I wrote, you see. I declined to argue with the experts! At the same time, I am very grateful to micro-BO Micro-trust fans on the internet to give me encouragement, your support is my motivation to write.
