New trend: making life better
From narrowband to broadband, wired to wireless, copper to fiber...... The Chinese Internet, which has passed the age of 20, is changing China in its own unique way. What should the Internet look like in the next 20 years? See what the big guys say:
In the next 20 years, the Internet will change and shape all industries. Tian Suning, chairman of Broadband Capital, said that in the next 20 years, the Internet will change and shape all industries, and the so-called key areas such as banks, hospitals, education, and transportation will be Internetized. If the past 20 years have been the era of consumer Internet, the next 20 years will usher in the arrival of the industrial Internet moment.
In the future, a cow may be connected to the Internet. Because of his investment in Alibaba and his major success, Masayoshi Son, chairman of Japan's SoftBank Group, is known to more and more Chinese. "The capacity of computers will exceed the human brain in 2018, and this future is unthinkable...... In 300 years, we can safely say that microprocessors will be smarter than the human mind," Sun Zhengyi boldly predicted during the meeting that at that time the iPhone had appeared in the 32nd generation, mobile phones could store 500 billion songs, everything in the world would be connected through cloud technology, and everyone could be connected to thousands of devices, whether it was a laptop or clothes, shoes, or even a cow could be connected to the Internet.
In the future, the carrier's call service may be free. During the summit, Tencent head Ma Huateng said when talking about WeChat's "phone book" that WeChat's "phone book" is not competitive in the long run, because operators' call services may be free in the future. Operators are also seeing more and more the value of data, which is replacing the original value of calls and text messages. In this regard, Chang Xiaobing, chief of China Unicom, sighed: "I am very painful when I am OTT by others, and I am very happy when I go to OTT others, each other", Chang Xiaobing hopes that the old order will be broken and the new order can be established rationally, so that win-win cooperation can be achieved.
In the Internet age, privacy is not a big problem. In response to the hot topic of online privacy, Jack Ma said during the summit that privacy will not be a big problem. He believes that in 10 years, humans will be able to solve the privacy problem, and his reasons are: First, humans will adapt. Second, everyone is worried that there will be no traffic accidents on this road, and there will be traffic accidents where there are no traffic accidents. Robin Li also holds the same view, saying that for Internet companies, the privacy of netizens is actually a pile of data on the server, and no one will really take it out and take a closer look at what a certain person is doing.
In the future, as long as objects are converted into information, they can be searched. Zhang Chaoyang, chairman of the board of directors of Sohu, said at the summit that the concept of search in the future is different from the concept of the original PC era and will be almost equivalent to intelligence. In the past, in the PC era, people only searched for content on their PCs based on the HTML of web pages. The search for the future is a search for a relationship between a person, or a community and a person, or a search for certain items. All human language, communication, or Internet objects in nature can be converted into searchable objects as long as they can be converted into information.
New thinking: opportunities or challenges?
While the Internet brings opportunities, it also brings a series of new challenges in the fields of network security, financial supervision, and new media ecology.
It is necessary to reflect on the ecological situation of new media. Tian Shubin, president of Xinhuanet, said that the mobile Internet has driven the fission of the media ecology, and everyone has a microphone and the right to speak in the hands of the people. restrain self-discipline, control the microphone, and consciously maintain the credibility of the media. Tian Shubin suggested that it is necessary for the industry to reflect on the ecological situation of new media and take measures to prevent bad network ecology.
Cybersecurity issues need to be learned from the world. Du Yuejin, an expert at the China Cyberspace Security Association (preparing), said that now from the government to the people, they are very concerned about network security issues, which is also a good sign.
It is urgent to strengthen law enforcement in cyberspace. Wang Sixin, vice dean of the School of Political Science and Law of Communication University of China, said in a speech at the sub-forum on "Rule of Law in Cyberspace" that it is an urgent issue to strengthen the rule of law in cyberspace information management and strengthen the management and law enforcement of illegal and harmful information. ”
Financial supervision should be Internet-based. Cao Tong, president of WeBank, also put forward his own ideas on Internet financial supervision at the summit. He said that for this new model, financial supervision should be Internet-based, and the inherent characteristics of Internet finance are actually calling for a new and matching regulatory method. Cao Tong also said that for Internet finance, in addition to supervision, support is also needed.
New application: The light of the Internet
On the opening day of the summit, a theme exhibition called "Light of the Internet" also opened in Wuzhen, which not only focused on displaying the development history and achievements of the Internet, but also brought together the latest cutting-edge technologies and application achievements of the Internet industry at home and abroad.

"Create a healthy Internet TV ecosystem, so that people can conveniently obtain the high-quality TV content they need for a long time according to their hobbies and needs." Li Yiqing, chairman of Huashu Media, said in an interview with reporters at the Wuzhen Summit that Huashu is ambitious to promote the creation of a TV secretary plan to make people fall in love with TV again.

Vignette: The thoughts of the big guys
The Wuzhen Summit, which is full of bigwigs, is actually not lacking in exciting and interesting details, which have been talked about by many people in the past 72 hours, in addition to one "dry goods" after another, which may be one of the factors why the Internet is so fascinating.
In this summit, if we talk about exposure alone, there is no doubt that Jack Ma is definitely the first. It's not just because of what he and his Alibaba have achieved, but also because of his charisma.
On the eve of the opening of the summit, Jack Ma spent 45 minutes traveling to Wuzhen at night and ate a bowl of mutton noodles by the river in the town for 1 hour. It cost a total of 430 yuan.
In contrast, Jack Ma's speech at the opening ceremony lasted less than 5 minutes, and the number of words in his speech was only more than 500 words. A reporter took a photo, and Jack Ma temporarily handwrote a speech at the scene.
Every minute of the big guy is precious. According to media reports, on the way to the two venues, Jack Ma did not forget to change his clothes. From a casual red sweater a minute ago, it has changed back to a suit and leather shoes.
"Bickering" is also what the bigwigs are good at. A little detail of the venue that has been circulated a lot is that the host asked Bruce Sevier, senior vice president of Apple: Mr. Lei Jun said that their company (Xiaomi) may become the world's number one smartphone company in 5 to 10 years, do you have a sense of crisis about this? Bruce Sevier's reply was rather calm: it's always easy to say, but it's not so simple to do. And Lei Jun looked at Jack Ma and said with a smile: Dreams still have to be had, what if they come true. There was laughter at the scene.
Jack Ma said that Alibaba wants to cultivate more JD.com, because Alibaba's role is to help those with ideals realize their dreams. But Jack Ma also said he felt that Xiaomi did not need Alibaba's help.
In this regard, Lei Jun did not make a relevant statement, while Liu Qiangdong was unceremonious: Alibaba is different from JD.com, and what we want to solve is the problem of commercial cost and efficiency in Chinese society.
As we all know, in addition to being rich, these Internet tycoons who participated in the meeting were also tall and handsome, such as Ma Huateng and Robin Li, who were enthusiastically shouted by female fans when they walked the red carpet, and Robin Li was even hugged by flowers. But it is said that when Zhang Chaoyang appeared on the red carpet, he was not recognized by more people because he was too low-key, and in the venue the next day, when the bigwigs took the stage and sat down, Zhang Chaoyang was definitely the most eye-catching, because he was barefoot and wearing leather shoes, which was to carry out the "tide" to the end.
