Chapter Four - Right People
The first wave: the internet was introduced to households
by companies like AOL. At that time, emails started
to become popular, it was a time for establishing the
foundation of the internet.
The second wave: driven by Google, Amazon, Facebook,
etc., which made accessing the internet, smart phones and
computers a daily necessity.
The third wave: the internet will penetrate into all levels of
people’s daily activities with the smart TV, refrigerator, and 279
automobiles, etc. It is expected that everything in the world
will be interconnected in the future.
These predictions seem to be far off but actually they are
close to us. How do the public understand and perceive
their role in the future?
That is why I like to observe and talk to young people
as they are always creative. Whether or not their ideas
are feasible, there is no doubt that there will always be a
pleasant surprise.
