In 1969, the internet was born, and it is less than 50 years old. In 1994, China officially connected to the Internet, and it has been 22 years since then.
What new experiences will the "prime of life" Internet bring us? At the Third world internet conference, all kinds of information, like the masts and spires on the giant ship at the time of the sea and the sky, took the lead in sending people a signal that "the future has come".
Convenient and efficient life is new
"I heard that I am not afraid of anything, but I am afraid that foreigners will speak Chinese … Imagine if I have a chip implanted in my brain or use artificial intelligence today, I can communicate with you directly in Chinese, and our communication will be easier." At the plenary session of this conference, the opening remarks of Langer, global vice president of Infosys Technology Co., Ltd., attracted a burst of laughter.
"Lao Tzu once said,’ A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step’, and every step takes us to a distant goal. The impact of the digital world on our lives is still relatively weak, but this change will bring incredible opportunities to help us rethink everything in life. " Langer believes that the Internet era has made it a consensus of enterprises to pay great attention to user experience, thus affecting the whole life cycle of products.
In the exhibition hall of the conference, China Digital Group, a leading enterprise of triple play in China, launched a high-definition intercom system that can be used on TV. Patients lying at home can connect to distant hospitals with remote controls and consult famous doctors about their "old problems". The staff said that this system is especially suitable for the elderly who are more familiar with TV.
The International Business Machines Corporation also announced the latest Watson 2016 artificial intelligence brain, which is also the first brain-like computer in the field of basic science. Chen Liming, senior vice president of the company, said: "It uses the latest atomic storage technology, and its processing capacity has been equivalent to 4 billion human synapses, and it has diagnosed diseases that are difficult for top medical experts in the world to confirm."
"Our home appliances, traveling cars and working equipment are no longer machines that passively obey instructions, but will be considerate of you and actively serve you. For example, windows will adjust their angles according to indoor and outdoor temperatures and lighting, and the car navigation system will also be connected to the city’s traffic management system, thus greatly reducing congestion." Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, said that the intelligent Internet will enable people to realize life scenes that they could not have imagined in the past.
And even if you go to court for a lawsuit, the Internet age provides a smarter choice. In the "online court" envisaged by Chen Guomeng, president of Zhejiang Higher Court, based on the "online court" pilot, the whole process of prosecution, filing, giving evidence, hearing, delivery, judgment and execution can be completed online, and the parties need not travel by boat, so the lawsuit is as convenient as online shopping.
Wide space for cooperation and mutual benefit
At the "Belt and Road" information forum, Yang Xiaowei, general manager of China Telecom, showed two charts produced by ITU. The charts showed that informatization development index in major regions of the world was unbalanced, with an average of 5.1, Asia-Pacific region was 4.7 and Africa was 2.53, while most countries along the "Belt and Road" were at a low level.
Yang Xiaowei said that in the next step, under the overall leadership of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Telecom will actively work to help the Belt and Road countries build an intelligent information superhighway, focusing on building high-speed information corridors and Pan-Asian networks in China, Myanmar, Europe, China, Pakistan and Africa, and will also actively build ring networks in Africa, Central Asia, Mekong River Basin and other regions.
"The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is the shortest route from China to the Middle East, Africa and Asia. We call it the Digital Silk Road." Amir Azeem Bajwa, general manager of Pakistan Special Communication Organization, said that Pakistan has 135 million mobile phone users and is fully prepared to connect with the world. "In the next few years, we will further expand cooperation with China, especially in the field of telecommunications. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor provides greater opportunities for the global economy, and our digital connectivity also provides great opportunities for economic growth."
"In recent years, countries along the Belt and Road have attached great importance to the construction of information and communication infrastructure and made positive progress in network interconnection and information development." Chen Zhaoxiong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that China is actively strengthening international cooperation with countries along the route, promoting the construction of international network infrastructure, constantly improving the level of interconnection with the route, and promoting the integration of people’s hearts.
Chen Zhaoxiong revealed at the meeting that the East Africa Information Expressway, as a pioneering project of China-Africa information superhighway, was officially launched last year, and the cross-border optical cable between China and Pakistan, as an early harvest of China-Pakistan economic corridor construction, started in May this year. Meanwhile, the national submarine cable projects such as Asia-Europe No.3 submarine cable and Asia-Africa-Europe No.1 submarine cable are about to be completed, and the space for Sino-foreign cooperation in application services continues to expand, and Alibaba is building a cloud data center in Dubai.
"Countries along the Belt and Road Initiative can encourage new cooperation and provide various cooperation opportunities in the fields of information infrastructure construction, Internet application, information content exchange, big data cooperation and intelligent manufacturing. The opportunities in these areas are unlimited. " Yang Xiaoya, Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union, said that ITU will continue to promote connectivity among countries along the route.
Strong synergy of rule of law and joint governance
Among the leading scientific and technological achievements released at this conference, a number of "governance tools" have attracted much attention: Kaspersky’s KICS software is used to protect industrial products and enterprise networks, which can detect abnormal phenomena in time and report suspicious orders in time to prevent risks in the industrial sector.
Pan Jianwei, an academician of China Academy of Sciences, emphasized the security of quantum communication technology. "Using the basic principles of quantum mechanics, with the help of the distribution of quantum keys, people can realize an unbreakable encryption method, and the extended wide-area quantum communication will make information more secure."
"Legalists, set points and stop disputes", and establishing a system for the Internet has also become the consensus of the delegates. Wang Binying, Deputy Director-General of the World Intellectual Property Organization, said that cyberspace should not be divorced from the jurisdiction of the law. Policymakers should put Internet-related international norms on the agenda and continue to explore international cooperation in Internet-related intellectual property law enforcement activities.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Samoa, Patu Sapolu, said that the Internet is a decentralized management of the use of global resources. There are many stakeholders in the Internet, including professionals related to science and technology, as well as entities in commerce and trade, as well as citizens, society and government policy commanders. Courts should play an important role in Internet governance.
In the far-reaching Internet field, co-governance should also be the meaning of the topic. Fang Binxing, an academician of the China Academy of Engineering and chairman of the China Cyberspace Security Association, believes that a little-accessed and globally shared cyberspace is a common space for human activities. For example, if cyber viruses are left unchecked, no country will be immune, and cyber attacks will affect a large number of victims. "The Internet allows countries to share a big ship. Countries should strengthen communication, expand consensus, deepen cooperation, and jointly build a community of cyberspace destiny."
"There are risks behind every progress. The risks in the virtual world are not virtual. Today’s security threats seem to be more extensive than ever." Former French Prime Minister dominique villepin said, "We need to build the global governance of online communities, have the global vision of the Internet to achieve peace in the online world, and also need a multilateral framework for cyberspace governance. In fact, just as the Paris Climate Conference reached relevant agreements, the multilateral framework in the Internet field is also achievable."
"The Internet has changed the order of the world. We need a new order to manage the affairs in the digital age. If we don’t give more people more power to manage the transnational Internet, we will have many problems." Fadi Chehad, former president of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, stressed that "our leaders must cooperate to establish order."
