The future development history of the Internet

The Internet has brought extraordinary opportunities to the world. Humanity has experienced agricultural society, industrial society, and is currently entering the information society. Information is another important strategic resource after materials and energy. Its effective development and full utilization has become an important driving force for social and economic development and an important production factor for economic development. It is changing people's production methods, Ways of working, living and learning. First of all, the Internet shortens the distance between time and space, greatly speeds up the transmission of information, and enables the full sharing of various resources in society. Secondly, the Internet has created more opportunities, which can effectively improve the production efficiency of traditional industries and effectively stimulate consumer demand, thereby promoting economic growth and promoting productivity progress. At the same time, the Internet also provides a good platform for cultural exchanges at all levels.

The Internet has indeed created a miracle, but behind the miracle, there are increasingly prominent problems that pose great challenges to people. For example, the information gap between the rich and the poor has begun to widen, and wealth distribution has become unequal; the openness and globalization of the Internet have promoted the sharing of human knowledge and the globalization of the economy. But it has also made network security and information security a very serious problem; network competition has become a high-tech competition and talent competition between countries and enterprises; the network has brought about the global circulation of information, and also intensified cultural penetration, and all countries have Working hard to defend their own online culture. China has a long culture. How to extend this rich culture on the Internet is a particularly prominent issue.

There are still other problems in the development of my country’s Internet. First of all, there is still a certain gap between my country's Internet and foreign countries. In terms of the total number of users, there are currently more than 200 million Internet users around the world, half of which are in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan and other countries. The number of Internet users in the United States, Canada, Britain, Japan and other countries is ahead of China. However, some organizations have predicted that in the next few years, the number of Internet users in China will jump to the top five or even the top three in the world. Because China's population base is too large, the penetration rate of Internet users is still very low. The Internet user penetration rate in Canada, the United States and Japan has reached more than 30%, while in China it is only 1.4.

Secondly, China's network scale is still far behind that of developed network countries. However, with the increase in infrastructure and the use of broadband technology, there will be steady development in network scale. Third, China's network management regulations are still relatively lagging and incomplete. It is necessary to revise the inappropriate parts of existing departmental regulations in accordance with the "Telecommunications Regulations" promulgated by the country, formulate new regulations for new businesses, and ensure that regulations are in place. Fourth, due to language and concept reasons, more efforts are needed to access Chinese information resources online. In addition, China's Internet industry requires in-depth thinking and research in terms of capital investment, business models, business concepts, and technological innovation. Some successful foreign methods may not work in China, so they cannot be copied and a model suitable for China's national conditions must be developed.
