What is the future development direction of the Internet industry?

I. Future Development Direction of Internet Industry

According to the report released by China ICT Institute, the Internet industry in China is still in the stage of rapid development, and the Internet prosperity index continues to rise. The whole Internet is in the transitional stage from consumer Internet to industrial Internet. How to make good use of new technologies such as big data, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence to empower the development of traditional industries is the focus of Internet companies.

Second, the Internet winter

I think it is both an opportunity and a challenge for the Internet industry. The so-called internet winter is actually more of a process of removing dross and retaining the essence of the industry. In the 20 years since the development of Internet in China, too much capital has entered this industry, resulting in a batch of large Internet companies and many little-known small companies. But the industry has such a big living space that it is impossible for all companies to survive. Therefore, the cold winter of the Internet is better than the metabolism and survival of the fittest of an industry.

Third, the causes of the Internet winter phenomenon

The first point is that Internet companies should make normal adjustments according to the law of market development.

The second point is that the performance of the project did not meet expectations. According to the relevant data, the overall performance of domestic and foreign technology companies in 20 18 is not satisfactory, which is also an important reason for the decline in the market value of many large technology companies, and of course the second reason for the current wave of layoffs.

Third, the development prospect of the Internet industry is uncertain. At present, from their respective details, the whole Internet is in the transition stage from consumer Internet to industrial Internet. How to make good use of new technologies such as big data, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence to empower the development of traditional industries is the focus of Internet companies, but industry barriers are difficult to break, which makes it difficult to apply new technologies such as big data.

Fourth, the market changes too fast. Rapid market changes are an important feature of this year. The rapid changes in the market have led to some problems in the personnel layout of technology companies, and layoffs are often a common solution, which is also tacitly understood by major Internet companies.

Therefore, because of the comprehensive influence of the above four factors, the Internet market of 20 19 is unpredictable. However, even so, we can't conclude that the cold winter of the Internet has arrived, because it is still too early. After all, the development space of industrial internet is still very broad, and its potential has not yet been tapped, and it still has considerable market prospects. Once internet companies have figured out the development context, then this road can still be taken.
