The age of data tech to succeed IT era

By Hu Yuanyuan and Ouyang Shijia and Fan Feifei (China Daily ) Updated : 2017-12-04

In the past year, what transformations in the internet arena or the technology sector have the ability to influence our future or the future of industry? What do you think are the reasons for this transformation?

Chen Jin: Over the past year, we've seen that the internet is turning into the internet of things or IoT, step by step. With the development of big data, the IoT has gradually developed a solid foundation. It's said that Masayoshi Son, CEO of SoftBank, recently announced the acquisition of ARM Holding, a chip designer.

In the age of the IoT, chips may become a new connector, and will affect every aspect of our lives. Everyone will be connected through data as well as some entity ... for example, chips.

Nathan Blecharczyk: Sharing economy, closely integrated with internet technologies, is undoubtedly a major transformation and one that will have far-reaching implications for the future.

Airbnb has created a new home-sharing model that has redefined the way that people, particularly millennials, travel and communicate with different cultures.

When using Airbnb, guests and hosts get to meet people that they wouldn't ordinarily, and learn from cultural exchanges through interaction with people from diverse nations and backgrounds.

For Airbnb, sharing economy provides additional revenue streams for hosts and allows guests to explore new areas and contribute to local economies.

Gong Yu: In the internet entertainment industry, we believe that artificial intelligence, virtual reality, big data and other cutting-edge technologies are promoting the development of the industry.
