In the distant era when people were carrying them, it could directly touch the blue sky of 148 meters with hundreds of thousands of huge stones weighing tons. It's like summer in new york. It is close to the equator, and its cloak has been raining for 4500 years. It still refuses to shrink its majestic figure, because it chooses the most stable support. It provides the most suitable structure for its grandeur.
It is ubiquitous in human life, not on the banks of the Nile, but in all fields of our social life structure.
Beijing Capital International Airport ranks second among the busiest airports in the world, with over 1400 take-off and landing flights every day. On July 2, 20 12 1 day, it was hit by a torrential rain that had never happened in 60 years. The road was flooded, the light rail was paralyzed, the vehicles turned off, 57/kloc-0 flights were cancelled all day, 70/kloc-0 flights were delayed, and nearly 80 thousand people were stranded at the airport.
Wang Lu, 29, is an employee of a foreign company. He lives in Wangjing, which is more than ten kilometers away from the airport. On the day of heavy rain, he went home early and witnessed the dilemma of the Capital Airport on the Weibo. At 22: 32, he made a tentative call to his city with less than 100 words. Is there anyone in Wangjing willing to volunteer to pick up the trapped brothers and sisters at the airport? Within an hour, this Weibo was forwarded 10950 times. Two hours later, when the convoy consisting of more than 20 cars arrived at the airport, it had grown into a convoy of 100 cars. Six hours before dawn, in Beijing with heavy rain, more than 300 off-road vehicles with double flashes carried more than 500 strangers from the airport to Yizhuang, Wangfujing, Gongzhufen and Huilongguan.
Human society has never lacked good wishes, but in the past long years, it was difficult to gather because of specific motives.
This behavior is not inspired by the internet, but because we are the kind of social people. We care about others, and the Internet really provides us with a means. Can directly understand, sympathize with others and empathize with others.
When information breaks through the barrier of time and space, the information energy it carries can have such a very magical power, which can condense knowledge, glow emotions and form a powerful social mobilization force.
The internet has made these once scattered bits and pieces beautiful, and instantly gathered fiery social energy. July 2012,21year, the misty lights persisted for a long time, enriching the night sky of modern human cities and the spiritual accumulation of a city. After a storm comes a calm, the sun rises, but the flashing lights at night still shine on the city for a long time. From midsummer to late autumn, its temperature did not dissipate, and its soothing power did not fade.
These organizations can be temporary and low-cost. You don't need to form a team in advance to complete a new task. When you see people get together and do things together, it's easy to imagine that without a formal boss, all the old rules will collapse and the new ones will take their place.
The typhoon named "Fete" rolled up the rain equivalent to 68 West Lakes in two days and poured it on Yuyao, which is only 1500 square kilometers in Fiona Fang. Although the disaster intensity and consequences caused by the rainstorm in the Capital Airport are different, they have won corresponding responses in the new era because of similar conditions of the times. The territory of Wan Li in all directions, and it forged a friend in need.
I am a volunteer from Ningbo and Yongkang, a hovercraft manufacturer, and the driver is improvising.
Several volunteers who got together temporarily received news through WeChat that two families were in urgent need of food, water and milk powder and had been trekking for more than two hours. Supplies were provided to two families for three days. Volunteers at the front line keep receiving messages from a man named Zhuoming Rescue Platform, whose head is thousands of miles away in Beijing.
Hao Nan, a dentist in Peking University Hospital, used his spare time to build a rescue platform with more than 2,000 volunteer netizens across the country. The "Fete" typhoon rescue team has drawn a straight line with the shortest distance between every concern point in Yuyao.
Angel, a girl from Wuxi, Jiangsu, learned about the psychological needs of volunteers through online meetings. After contacting the person in charge of an insurance company, the insurance company agreed to provide personal accident insurance for more than 1000 rescue volunteers in front of her.
Shen, a Yuyao native who works in Shanghai, has activated all his social circles, including Yuyao Middle School alumni and singles. Five hundred volunteers from Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo and Yuyao set up a complete passage from collection, transportation, receiving and distribution between Shanghai and Yuyao in just two days.
When the eyes of attention still stay in Jingkun, Xi 'an and Shenyang, the thoughts of concern have been transmitted to the red dot waiting to be read on WeChat, to the black reminder line of unread mail, to the forwarding of comments in Weibo, and to the mobile phone to receive new information.
Network technology has led to a complete change in the way of communication, and who everyone can communicate with has also changed. Therefore, the change of communication mode and the demand for network have created a new social structure.
A single mother with cancer left a last wish before she died, hoping that the online shop "Magic Bean Baby Cabin" where she lived online would not close because of her death. This is a gift she left to her daughter-a guarantee for the future survival of her six-year-old daughter. On April 8, 2006, the young mother passed away after seeing her six-year-old daughter on her way to kindergarten. Thus, the fairy tales created in the new period began. In Hangzhou, Chengdu and Xi 'an, magic bean mothers from all over the country began to write the legend of magic beans. Today, this online shop run by strangers has existed for eight years and has never been closed. In the past eight years, some mothers who gathered, alternated, were on duty and volunteered to operate through the Internet are joining or leaving for various reasons, but their ranks have never shrunk. This is eight years without a special organizer, eight years without a specific owner, eight years of obligation, eight years in a row, and eight years that we can look forward to countless. Eight years have passed, and the screen, keyboard and optical cable have completed this endless relay in the territory of a vast country.
The internet has produced the power to attract each other. Countless people who also have caring feelings have become powerful self-organizing forces, which is a completely sustainable force. Humans have combined countless diamond-like group actions in a brand-new way of organization and contact.
The reason why groups have attributes that individuals don't have is that the way we organize individuals makes groups superior to individuals. Think about carbon, connect carbon atoms in some way, and you will get soft black graphite in a pencil. If carbon atoms are connected in another way, hard and transparent diamonds will be obtained.
This gathering of good energy is the wealth given to all mankind by the new era. All information can create an unprecedented momentum of the times with an invisible face and at a speed that our experience cannot understand.
We all have dreams, hopes and imaginations. However, no one teaches us how to dream. We just act, but without education, these girls can only go so far by dreaming.
1998, 14-year-old Hugh Evans lived in a slum in Manila during his trip from Australia to the Philippines, and he realized the injustice brought by human destiny. When the boy began to grow up, he began to establish a fund and formulate an international poverty alleviation fund, with the goal of ending the extreme poverty of global citizens in 2030.
At present, there are still as many as 57 million children in the world who have no chance to receive basic education. In this affluent age, this is unacceptable. A child dies every 3.9 seconds. Such a tragedy can be avoided through simple immunization. In this prosperous time, this situation is unreasonable.
Evans had this seemingly unreachable dream, not because of his background, education, money and IQ, but because he was born in the Internet age.
The charity network platform headquartered in Australia has changed the previous charity model and mobilized people with different skin colors, different languages and the same dreams all over the world in the form of points. In the past three years, 275,000 people from Australia, New Zealand, Britain, the United States, Canada, Colombia, South Africa, Pakistan, India and other parts of the world have participated in the World Poverty Alleviation Program. It provides educational opportunities for more than 40,000 extremely poor teenagers all over the world.
Therefore, the Australian government has decided to increase the global aid to the poor from $6.45 billion to $654.38+0.075 billion within three years.
We will emphasize certain policies and objectives, and influence the business community and the government to take reasonable actions through the power of public campaigns. Our volunteers are all over the world now, because people want to participate in various activities through their own organizations, which is really exciting. Because we believe this is a global movement. Global citizens know no borders.
In the past history, human beings gathered the goodwill of all people in the form of pyramids and formed specific organizations to carry out rescue. In the Internet age, people can take the earth as the platform and human beings as the scope, and everyone may gain moral strength comparable to that of world-class charitable organizations in the past.
As long as there is * * * agreement, infinite fragments will instantly produce efficiency and produce power that makes all mankind admire themselves. The idea of encouraging each other to create a better life has become as simple as flipping a coin in the Internet age.
"Coin" is the code word for the last "flash" activity on the Internet. In Spain, a small town with a population of over 100,000, a little girl threw a coin into the hat of a street performer, and a miracle happened. One hundred residents with various musical instruments gathered from different directions in an instant to create a solemn spiritual gathering.
In the past, mankind has been longing for and creating exciting grand festivals, but this is an annual carnival where traditional talents can gather. This is a four-year Olympic Games, and only the power of the world can present it. It was a five-year or ten-year military parade that could only be organized with the help of the state. The reason why it attracts worldwide attention is that it needs to consume huge organizational resources. A coin dropped by this small town reflects a new era, and the symphony of 100 people reflects that human beings are the epitome of the global village. Is this the normal state of human spiritual life organization in the future?
In the industrial age, no matter what kind of political system, every country is faced with the problems of the expansion of government institutions and the self-growth of administrative levels. Even in the British Isles, known as the birthplace of modern politics, there has been an extremely ironic scene.
British TV series Yes, Minister
How many people are in our department now?
Our department, we are very small.
Small? How small?
I don't know.
Two thousand people? Three thousand people?
There are about twenty-three thousand people.
There are 23 thousand people? Are they all from our administrative department? Are these 23,000 people just to manage other administrative personnel?
Hmm.
Let's do a time work statistic and see who we can get rid of.
Minister, we did this statistic last year.
How's it going?
According to statistics, we need to add 500 people.
In the course of its operation, the public organizations of human society have abundant motivation to reproduce themselves, and each level will not only pursue its unique interests, but also expand the level itself. British scholar Parkinson fully observed this phenomenon. His statement was named "Parkinson's Law" by academic circles. At the beginning, the federal government of the United States had only three departments, and each department had only a few employees at that time. At present, the US federal government has 15 administrative departments and dozens of directly affiliated institutions, with about 2.7 million employees. In the 2 1 century congressional speech, the president of the United States is still expressing his inexplicable helplessness.
This is my favorite example. At present, the salmon in the freshwater lake is under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but if the fish swim into the sea, it is under the control of the Ministry of Commerce; If these fish are smoked, things are more complicated.
In the past, top-down management was adopted. This was necessary at that time, because top-down communication was the best way when information was not circulating.
In the long years, in all layers of human social structure, a lot of information is lost and distorted. Internet has penetrated the solid rock layer of society, making all adjacent or distant layers face each other. Identity, wealth and region are no longer the rights or shackles of communication. Everyone's communication energy broke through the hierarchical barrier and began direct communication from top to bottom.
When Obama announced his participation in the presidential election at the end of 2006, he directly faced countless people at the bottom. The campaign team used social tools such as the Internet to launch publicity activities. The homepage on social media, videos on video websites, the sending of emails and the replies from campaign websites are always permeated with the voice and dynamics of this candidate. The approval, opposition and hesitation that were once difficult to capture became the clear basis for the team to adjust its strategy.
The enthusiasm and willingness of the people at the bottom mobilized by the Internet has been transformed into a record number of donations and volunteers. Netizens use thousands of photos to form Obama's head, which is very popular. "I secretly love Obama" made by female netizens leads all the way. Hundreds of designs designed by people with campaign signs are very popular on the Internet. Creators from the Internet pushed the first African-American presidential candidate to the White House.
The president knows the power of technology and people must unite. What is exciting is that in the past five to seven years, thanks to these technical tools, we have witnessed the explosive growth of this cooperation.
Obama, who claimed to let the Internet penetrate the high wall between the White House and the people, set up the White House Digital Strategy Office, which is directly responsible to the President, and appointed the chief network officer. Public inquiries collected by the White House website column are answered by the Commissioner. Show the same questions summed up in the online survey to the parliamentarians. Analyze the focus of public concern before the implementation of the policy.
In fact, in the face of a new era with new energy every day, all important countries are forced or willing to take new actions. There are more than 50,000 government websites at all levels in gov.cn, China, and Weibo at all levels has hundreds of millions of fans. The British government clearly stipulates that all government departments should have accounts on major social networks and publish two to ten messages every day. The Korean government named its own government website "e-government", and visitors can get all kinds of documents published by the government electronically by subscribing to e-mail.
Today, all large, well-registered systems are in decline. On the contrary, in the horizontal network, people can connect, separate, meet and disperse, and the form of the whole social and political organization is changing. We talked about the post-industrial society, but "post" just doesn't understand.
Once human society is born, there is an eye-catching center, and the pyramids are generally piled up one by one. In the Internet age, the stones at the top of the pyramid can easily touch the deepest rocks. No matter where the stones are, there is the hand of God in the new era.
Wechat, 500 million; Sina Weibo, 500 million; QQ, 800 million; Facebook, 12 billion. In these amazing and growing digital fields, it is not the numbers that suddenly rise, but the voices and people behind them.
20 1 365438+1October1,the Ministry of Public Security issued a new regulation, and six points will be deducted for running a yellow light. This is the yellow light of a country with more than 1 100 million private cars and more than 200 million drivers. Just after the morning peak of the implementation of the new regulations, tragicomedy about yellow lights began to flood the Internet. On that day, Weibo, with the label of "yellow light", always ranked first in popular search. Sina Weibo has only one day 1, and there are nearly100000 articles about yellow light in Weibo. There are more than 100 rear-end accidents caused by the yellow light emergency stop uploaded by netizens in Weibo. The power generated by the Internet makes the story of Huang Deng a common topic for all people in China.
Before the advent of the internet, no media allowed anyone to express their views in a larger range than the people they could gather. Now all of a sudden, you can express your opinions on the Internet, Wikipedia, Weibo or any other service. Hundreds, thousands or even hundreds of people can see it, which has the effect of destroying traditional media and becoming the only media to express their views publicly.
Drivers' personal experiences and feelings on the road spread on Weibo, collided on forums and flowed on WeChat. The voice of internet convergence instantly attracted the attention of the whole country, and quickly gathered from the streets to the national decision-making level. 106,65438 issued a new notice. At present, the main violation of the yellow light signal is an educational warning, and no punishment will be imposed for the time being. There is only five days between the promulgation of the new regulations and the issuance of the amendment notice.
The Internet actually connects people together, and the other is to connect people with information. Because these two connections have actually greatly improved the efficiency of information dissemination and created efficiency.
In the industrial age, the will of the public is formed through the way of organization and the form of convention. The form of the convention means that a few members of society are doomed to be ignored by the will of the public, and their organizational will to defend the ignored rights always exists.
/kloc-at the end of 0/9 century, workers used primitive protest and organizational means to fight against powerful capital. With the deepening of the movement, workers' leaders realized the significance of joint action, and trade unions were established. By the 1920s, the number of American trade union members had reached 5 million. After nearly half a century of struggle, until 1935, the National Labor Relations Act of the United States was promulgated. Only when the trade union is recognized by law can workers have the right to have an equal dialogue with their employers.
Constantly neglected forces are organized to form an organism with public organization form and social self-organization form. People live in such an organizational normal. In the Internet age, the traditional normal experience and structure can no longer accommodate the social energy of Internet organizations. Information and communication technology has created an absolute few possibilities that cannot be ignored. Every sound faces the world, and every drop of water is equal to the sea.
Everyone has his own voice. Even if you are short and poor, locked in the basement and covered with banana peels and other rubbish, your voice is just like those of Gao Fushuai sitting in the swimming pool. As long as you have access to the internet.
You can say it gives individuals more power. It gives people a chance to speak. Many people, women, children and old people, didn't have their own voices before, but now so many people can make their own voices. You can see more and more decentralized power, group wisdom, or Twitter, or information, in various forms and types. There are so many people involved in decision-making now.
On April 6, 2008, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak signed an agreement to resume the import of American beef. To the surprise of the whole Korean political circles, in South Korea, where the annual import volume exceeds US$ 400 billion, this trade decision involving less than US$ 10 billion has set off the fastest wave of protests in the political history of South Korea. Within two months, nearly a million people protested against the March. Forced the cabinet to submit its resignation collectively, and the president publicly apologized to the people. Sophomore girl Park Ji-won unexpectedly became the star of this wave sweeping South Korea. Because it was her first post that summoned thousands of people with the same idea.
If you are so worried, you might as well go out. My personal experience is that people who feel the same way with me get together by chance, which happens in a flash, not what I planned.
Before that, the rumor that American beef may carry mad cow disease has been popular on the Internet. On the forums of some idol websites, a group of middle school students who have no right to vote and stand for election are the main force of this fermentation and brewing. Since then, the number of opponents gathered on the Internet has reached1300,000. Park Ji-won, who dreams of becoming a film director, just struck a match in front of this pile of firewood.
Regardless of status, age or even legal rights, the Internet is no longer the boundary of political life. This event, which originated from the desire of middle school students, gathered the attention of the whole country in two months, enveloped the whole society, and even the news all over the world boiled around it.
With the appearance of the Internet, people began to reconnect. In the vast world, they are connected with more and more people of all kinds. If they are influenced by it, they will change their ideas, and if their ideas change, they will change their behavior.
Ordinary people become the channel of the Internet, become themselves and become important historical actors.
The existing social construction, including the state and the government, has been listening to the voices of new things for a long time in the Internet age. No country or government can completely stay out of it. Understanding, adaptation, application and integration. Those who are far away from each other are no longer as far away from the core of the organization as they used to be. Those temples and pavilions that have not changed their appearance have different connotations more or less.
But the new era is too powerful to intervene in social organizations, and all the adaptations are still in the process of inadaptation.
20 1 1 in July, 2008, peaceful demonstrations to occupy wall street quickly rolled up in the global financial center wall street, sweeping across the United States 120 cities and four continents like a tsunami. The relationship between the vibration of butterfly wings and a storm is becoming more and more unpredictable and incredible.
Nothing happened, but suddenly there were protests and violent activities, which made people unprepared.
Internet makes people who have no voice before speak, but how do you know, how do you know whether those voices are the voices of hatred or unity, hostility or progress? So we can't simply associate value with technology. There is no causal relationship between the two.
I don't think the Internet is omnipotent, nor is it a utopia. I think the Internet will lead to more unprecedented problems. In the next century, the Internet will lead to more new problems.
Today, the information dissemination rules related to emergencies are explained in a statistical way. After the general emergency, text or video will appear on the Internet within two hours; About six hours, it may be reprinted by many websites; In about 24 hours, online posts will reach a climax. However, no matter what kind of social system human society is, how to establish a national public opinion emergency mechanism within 24 hours and create an organizational energy and a balanced and coordinated coping ability that matches the new era has never been a major proposition.
Because of the differences of civilizations, the whole mankind has not reached a consensus on the choice of basic political system. However, no matter what cultural heritage, different nationalities and countries find the same language in front of the same thing and organization, which is the modern education system born in the industrial age.
It was not until 17 and 18 centuries that Germany began to sprout an educational system suitable for industrialized organizational forms. Germany, with more than 300 feudal countries, tried to train loyal subjects and handy soldiers through education in order to strengthen its rule and military strength. They transferred the management of the school from the church to the state. 18 10 Humboldt university officially opened, supported by the king. It is the first university with modern significance. From 65438 to 0830, Froebel recruited a group of children in Flandenberg, England, and established the world's first preschool education institution, named "kindergarten". 187 1 year later, school education in Germany was gradually systematized and nationalized, and the compulsory education law was promulgated, which designated the eight-year primary education between the ages of six and fourteen as the compulsory education stage. In a short period of time, Germany scattered in hundreds of vassal States gathered into a huge industrial machine until it swept through western Europe. After the Franco-Prussian War, German Marshal General Mao Qi said that Germany's victory had been placed on the podium of primary school teachers.
After more than 300 years of improvement, school education has become the largest purposeful, planned and organized activity in human history. One sixth of the world's population, about one billion people, are framed in school organizations every day. Almost the same education system has been established in all mankind. (m.taiks.com) This is not only a process of knowledge transfer, but also a life process that defines the life rhythm of almost everyone. Education is the most self-fulfilling part of human organization. It is an important comfort for human beings in the dual world of spirit and material. This sacred pyramid has begun to face the impact of new era, new energy and new mode.
Scharmann Khan is an American citizen and has a distant relative in his hometown of Bengal. He holds master's degrees from MIT and Harvard University. In 2004, in order to help his cousin learn math, he put his own teaching video on YouTube, but he didn't expect hundreds of thousands of viewers at once. In the autumn of 2009, Khan made a decision to take video education as his future career, resigned and founded Khan Academy.
Children of the richest people in the world are also using it. Mongolian orphans also use it. They use the same resources. The result is that we have 100 million users in three years. When I read about it in a magazine, it became a big deal. I thought, oh, my God, it's true. But it just happened.
Khan doesn't have a large legacy and money, and he doesn't have the land of Stanford University, but he has an amazing means, and that is the Internet. So he created an unattainable legend in the history of human education. Today, Khan Academy has more than 5,000 teaching videos, which have been translated into more than ten languages, including Spanish, French, Russian and Chinese, covering all teaching subjects from children to high school.
Cousera, an online education platform founded by Stanford University professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Kohler, has 7.7 million registered users all over the world, including MIT, Harvard University, Tsinghua University, China and other famous universities around the world. On this platform, high-quality video courses are offered. Their common vision is that anyone can get a world-class education at any time and anywhere.
I think the arrival of these technologies will give everyone in the world a chance to receive a good education.
Large-scale open online courses allow us to communicate with 20,000 or even 50,000 people in a class through the Internet. Some people say that this is the end of the university. No, this is an expansion of the university. Everyone thinks that university refers to places like Harvard or Berkeley. No, universities exist at different levels. Do you need a fixed place after college?
Will there be a fixed place after college? Look at today's library-digital library. We don't need to move it to various buildings. As long as there is a network, there will be a library, no matter where.
Under the impact of the organizational energy of the Internet, will the whole world become a borderless school? Theoretically, in the future, only one teacher is needed for a course in the world, one equals infinity, and everyone on the earth enjoys equal right to education. This will be a pyramid that has stood for 4500 years, and it will be the most touching scene that can be witnessed on earth. Everyone can stand on the earth, share the world and touch the sky.
When the process of human spiritual growth is reorganized, it is accompanied by doubts, whether all people who own their alma mater may have feelings that make us nervous. A place where we will always store our good memories because we are far away from secular utilitarianism; Where friendship is always like water, the rhythm of our life is defined without hesitation because of the obscurity of growth; Where are those childhood friends who once belonged to everyone's kindergarten, those who belonged to everyone's primary and secondary schools, and those who belonged to the love under the tree on everyone's university campus?
