Indeed, the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. What are the changes reshaping the world today? What are the driving forces behind the changes? Everybody has his or her own readings. There are different angles to answer the questions.
我的哲学老师曾告诉我，经济基础决定上层建筑。下面，我重点从技术和经济发展的层面谈一谈。
My philosophy teacher taught me, “the economic base determines the superstructure”. Therefore, let me focus a bit on the technological and economic aspects.
畅销书《世界是平的》的作者托马斯·弗里德曼认为，2019年年度词汇是“深”。
Thomas L. Friedman, the author of the bestseller----The World is Flat, recently declared the word of the year for 2019. The word is “deep”.
In his opinion, technology moves up in steps, and each step, each new platform, is usually biased toward a new set of capabilities. Around the year 2000 we took a huge step up that was biased toward connectivity, because of the explosion of fiber-optic cable, wireless and satellites. Connectivity suddenly became so fast, cheap, easy for you and ubiquitous.
the internet of things, artificial intelligence and cloud computing melded together and created a new platform that was biased toward abstracting complexity at a speed, scope and scale we’d never experienced before.
Around 2007, we took another big step up. Smart phones, sensors, digitization, big data, Over the last decade, advances in the speed and scope of digitization, connectivity, big data and artificial intelligence are now taking us “deep” into places and into powers that we’ve never experienced before. I’m talking about deep learning, deep insights, deep automation and deep artificial minds. Things are going deep.
Right now, we are living in a more globalized world, where we are now totally interconnected and interdependent. Technology is transforming every aspect of the modern world and offering us unprecedented promise and some unprecedented challenges.
面对挑战，正如富兰克林·罗斯福在他的首次就职演说中所说，“我们唯一值得恐惧的是……恐惧本身。”
In the face of challenges, as Franklin D. Roosevelt put in his first inauguration speech, “the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself.”
面对变化，发展是硬道理，发展是解决所有问题的总钥匙。人民对美好生活的向往是我们前进的动力。
In the face of changes, development is absolute principle and the master key to address all problems. People’s aspirations for a better life are what drive us forward.
To forge iron, you need a strong hammer. A bird standing on a tree is never afraid of breaking branches. Why? Because it does not believe in branches, but in its own wings. In face of uncertainties and unpredictabilities, what we need to do is to rely on our own wings. Only by doing so, can we fly freely in the wind of changes.作者: yiyi 时间: 2019-9-16 19:08
