Good technology has its own flavor of human fireworks

The 2022 World Internet Conference held a few days ago was a lingering experience, and people were looking for their own concerns from all angles. One of the "hot spots" is that another batch of new technology products appeared at the Internet Conference. For example, the "Magic Mirror of Heart" (AI health detection terminal), which "brushes your face to recognize health status", and the "raspberry pie" computer, which "is the size of a business card", have attracted many people's attention, as well as the "eye movement input method", which allows users with frostbite to operate computers to complete input through eye movement and gaze. These dazzling "black technologies" belong to different application scenarios. But there are some obvious similarities, that is, they have directly improved the convenience of people's lives. At the same time, it is more universal. On the one hand, their prices are becoming more and more popular. Computers as big as "business cards" cost only a few hundred yuan, which means that most families in need can easily obtain them. In other words, new technology products are no longer a kind of conspicuous consumption, but become more and more "grounded". On the other hand, they are more responsive to the needs of minorities. The "eye movement input method", which is suitable for people with frostbite, is very representative. The combination of these two aspects is actually an important direction of current scientific and technological innovation, that is, to be closer to the life of the masses and constantly promote the revolution of daily life. In fact, such a feature is also an important difference between the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" and previous industrial revolutions. Klaus Schwab, President of the World Economic Forum, pointed out in his book The Fourth Industrial Revolution in 2015 that the new industrial revolution that mankind is ushering in is based on the third industrial revolution and will fundamentally change the way we live, work and get along with each other. It can be said that the "fourth industrial revolution" marked by networking, digitalization and intelligence will not only mean that more scientific and technological products will enter the world, but also further reshape our way of life and expand its power in the life world. In the past few decades, Chinese people have felt the most strongly that scientific and technological progress has promoted the change of daily life. For example, the commonly known "three major pieces of marriage" have changed from the original "watch, bicycle, sewing machine" to "refrigerator, color TV, washing machine", and then to "private residence, private car, mobile computer", "dishwasher, smart toilet and dryer". Recently, people's expectations for food, clothing, housing and transportation have completely exceeded the possession and acquisition of a specific tool. This is because the changes brought about by scientific and technological progress in daily life are comprehensive and have changed from single tools to scene transformation. It may be concluded that the new scientific and technological revolution has a prominent feature for the transformation of daily life, that is, its achievements are no longer limited to liberating the "labor force" and meeting a certain pain point of demand, but are committed to reshaping people's lifestyle and allowing science and technology to infiltrate into the life scene. For example, the birth of a large number of intelligent wearable devices, and the development of home oriented artificial intelligence, mean that people and technology, technology and life are increasingly integrated. On this basis, our work, life and even thinking
