The "IQ tax" we have paid over the years.

In recent years, some words marked "new" have flooded the internet and daily life. These new things accompany our lives. Whether it is "blockchain" or "big data" or "5G", "e-commerce" or "Internet economy", some have really changed our way of life, but some have no substantive function, just products packaged in old bottles and new wines, or have no practical application value at all.

Take the "blockchain" as an example. There was a lot of hype before, but I asked you what a "blockchain" is and what it can do. I believe many people can't answer what the blockchain can do. What's the value to us? Or how to make money. It's just hype. "Blockchain" is said to be a digital encryption technology. It is a database shared by * * *, and it was only an encrypted report when it was a child. In fact, this technology can be realized even without a "blockchain", but it is relatively closed and cannot be enjoyed. However, the "blockchain" also has shortcomings. For example, after decentralization, government supervision is relatively difficult, and it is easy to breed "gray industry" or "black industry". The so-called technology is not guilty, and only the users are guilty. But "blockchain" technology can greatly facilitate people with ulterior motives.

As for "big data", there is nothing to say. In the era when the so-called network economy did not exist, "big data" also had a name called "market research", so the appropriate "IQ tax" of "big data" is undoubtedly the key to changing the name to cheat money. There are still so many people who believe, none of them. If "big data" really has the advertised energy to change anything, then it will.

As for "e-commerce", it is a joke. It is said that "e-commerce" is innovation, but it is actually just a small vendor on the Internet. There are no independent business premises, most of them have no independent brands and their own supply chains. It can be said that there are completely three businesses, and only a few "e-commerce" have their own supply chain and brand awareness. If the state does not require e-commerce to have a business license, most e-commerce companies are not even individual industrial and commercial households. Why are only traffickers talking about "business"? The key is that many people advocate so-called e-commerce entrepreneurship. I don't know that e-commerce entrepreneurship is ultimately to increase capital for e-commerce platforms, even a senior migrant worker doesn't know.

Some people even make a big fuss about "5G". 5G has changed the way of life and updated the industrial structure, as if it is the future as long as it is supported, but "5G" is only a communication method and a service, and a service can change so much that human beings are really backward. At the same time, "5G" will not directly serve the public in a short time, and it is more an industrial application. At present, 3G and 4G networks have fully met the public's demand for communication and information exchange. After meeting the demand, the value of 5G will not be reflected. At the same time, even if the performance of the hardware system supporting 5G can keep up, can it really keep up with people's information processing ability? A 1000-word article is only tens of KB, and most people need 1 to 2 minutes to read it, and a song is only a few hundred MB. Then you need a few minutes to listen to it, even if it is a video. How many mobile phones have 4K screens? Can I see 4K quality? Give you a few grams of data per second. Have you digested it? It can be said that even a doctor will not read more than 100G (the text content is 1k=5 12 Chinese characters, 1G= 1048576k, 100G is 536870966. 100G is 260,000 books), while 5G can download 1 19MB of data every second on average, and the download speed of 100G is 17 minutes.

In this impetuous society, all nouns or coined words labeled as "new" can receive a wave of "IQ tax". The key point is that so many people are willing to pay, not only verbally, but also in action. For example, using P2P to absorb public deposits and making big money with so-called healthy and priceless "health products", it is the people who ultimately suffer. Speaking of new projects, relying on "blockchain" and "big data" will definitely stand on the side of "5G"? This is just an act of collecting "IQ tax". It is better to pay less IQ tax.
