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.
