Bai Yansong asks Internet people three questions: 1. If Internet knowledge makes the rich get richer and the poor just buy some cheap things on Taobao, what's the point of the Internet?
2. If Internet knowledge makes big cities more convenient, everyone yearns for it, and house prices become higher, while small cities just play video games on the Internet, what's the point of the Internet?
3. If the Internet only makes life in the city better, but makes our countryside still work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and depends on the weather to eat, what is the significance of the Internet?
First of all, Bai Yansong must be angry words. If he is willful, he is not so much blaming the Internet as asking for most people. I admire Mr. Bai's courage and high spirits. When I was in high school, I watched the news station Bai Yansong, which was still very handsome. I hardly watched TV in the past five years, and suddenly I went to see my eyes. Mr. Leblanc has become a man with a beard and stripes on his face, just like a hero in the Water Margin who hates evil.
A little look shows that Mr. Bai's Internet Three Questions can't be regarded as a proposition or a topic, and it is admirable to do something for the common people. However, with the development of society, people who dare to speak or know how to speak in the whole society have become the middle class of this society, and all the focus cultures in the world will pay more attention to this class, and the development of the whole society will revolve around how to make the middle class rise.
Mr. Bai's "Three Questions" actually means "I don't care about how the Internet can make a better life for the middle class in first-tier cities, but how those who are in dire straits can get them involved in the Internet, how they can get benefits from the Internet, and how they can make money and find a place in the Internet".
No one can say that the Internet belongs only to the middle class in this society, because the vast majority of netizens have not participated in various armies bought by buy buy. If most of them participate in e-commerce in China, it will take at least 21 or 31 e-commerce giants to meet this scale, but it is unrealistic to look at this, so in fact, the development of e-commerce is also targeted at those middle classes who have the money to boldly buy from buy buy. But if you do it too obviously, it will cause the anger of those who won't spend it, so most of them will only make up a dream, which seems to be a dream that most people can realize.
A lot of reports are about putting a top hat on Mr. Bai and talking about the economy. But you forget that you are not politicians, and your words are at best complaints and at most dissatisfaction with economic policies.
In fact, the lie that the Internet made buy buy buy cheaper really won't go on. In fact, the Internet makes the enterprises that are not expensive to live in the entity more expensive, while the e-commerce with less cost and labor cost at most makes buy buy buy and keep the price before the e-commerce without getting cheaper. But the profit is higher.
e-commerce, when artificial intelligence comes, almost all the work that people need to do will be replaced by machines and software. This is a disaster for everyone, including those who make software. Because the barrier of doing software is broken, the demand for software is likely to drop sharply instead of increasing.
I saw a scientist at TED say that the threat of artificial intelligence is a political conspiracy, which was put forward by politicians for political achievements. People in the future should think about how to live for what, not just for a job.
But I want to ask, if you lose your job and have no money, what's your first thought? Isn't it looking for a job? Don't you think about what I live for instead of filling your stomach when you are hungry?
Improving productivity is just an excuse. Businessmen always focus on profit. Will they do it if there is no profit? And unlike ordinary people, I earn almost enough, and businessmen just maximize profits indefinitely. And what we want to oppose is this unscrupulous business model that maximizes profits.
The Internet three questions are like a big stone thrown into a cesspit, splashing a excrement flower. Can we see the truth in the hearts of businessmen from this shit flower?
