As a famous computer scientist, Dr. Wu Jun put forward the conclusion that the past 50 years are the era of Moore's Law, and the next 50 years are the era when data is king.
His exact words were:
It can be said that in the past, the progress of science and technology, industry and GDP of our whole society depended on this Moore's Law. If we take away the telecommunications brought by Moore's Law from the past 50 years, we will find that our GDP may not only not increase, but also decrease. So this is the situation in the past 50 years. ?
Where will it go in the next twenty years? What will determine the direction of world economic development in the next twenty years? I think that if the past 50 years are the era of Moore's Law, then the next 20 years will be the era when data is king.
