Recently, the research report "New IT" - New Picture of Digital Social Infrastructure" sponsored by the Internet Lab was held in Beijing. The conference released the first research report on the new "IT" in China, and invited experts and scholars in related fields to conduct in-depth interpretations on the overall trend of "new IT", key issues, and China's optional strategy.
Modern human society has experienced three paradigm shifts led by "old IT" industrial technology, "old IT" information technology (Information Technology) and "new IT" intelligent technology (Intelligent Transformation); "new IT" is in cloud computing, big data, Under the new environmental elements such as the Internet of Things, a new architecture is different from traditional IT.
The report adheres to the concept of "openness, innovation, cross-border and integration based on the spirit of the Internet", and comprehensively sorts out the connotation and extension of "new IT". At the same time, the evolution process and stage division of IT are reviewed, the new pattern of the future of "new IT" is looked forward, and the rapidly developing "new IT" model enterprises are selected, thus showing the current global development trend.
Fang Xingdong, founder of Internet Lab, said that IT is a very historical topic, and it is necessary to see how the industry is changing from a long historical period. For decades, the IT industry has been in constant change, to look at the industry from a deeper level, from a more open perspective to understand the evolution of the industry. Over the years, the ranking of IT companies around the world has undergone relatively large changes, and the original long-term top companies have been constantly replaced by new enterprises, and the logic and reasons behind this are very worth thinking about.

The new IT will become the infrastructure for the digital society
</h1>
Zhang Wenqiang, director of the Internet Lab Research Center, pointed out in the report that the new IT is based on the technology architecture of the end (intelligent Internet of Things terminal), edge (edge computing), cloud (cloud computing), network (5G), and wisdom (industry intelligence) to help all walks of life achieve intelligent transformation.
New IT has gradually become the consensus of the industry and will become the infrastructure of the digital society. IT technology is no longer the traditional information technology, but to provide the need for intelligent transformation, integrating artificial intelligence, 5G, cloud computing, Internet of Things and other technologies, services and solutions. Therefore, as a complete set of solutions including intelligent products, infrastructure and intelligent applications, the new IT has the core characteristics of cloud native, middle-stage, and AI intelligence.
For the ecological structure and future trend of China's new IT industry, The Internet Lab believes that the industrial ecological restructuring of new IT will be divided into three stages.
The first stage is the technical reserve stage. This stage will go through 3 to 5 years, focusing on grasping the key points, making up for shortcomings, and realizing the security and controllability of the domestic IT industry market.
The second stage is the ecological reconstruction phase (years 6-10). This stage will build a complete industrial ecology. It is necessary to form a synergy of the existing ecology and jointly build a Chinese autonomous IT ecosystem that combines software and hardware. Basically complete the ecological reconstruction of the domestic IT industry, and further create the advantages of the IT industry.
The third phase is the internationalization phase (years 10-20). At this stage, it is necessary to create a new global IT ecosystem. In the next 10 years, relying on the Chinese market, with the help of China's overseas new IT industry development to gradually move towards the international market, to build a global new IT ecosystem with "Asia, Africa and Latin America market as the leading market, And European and American markets as the auxiliary".

Real hard work is the opportunity for new IT
Xiang Ligang, a well-known observer of China's communications industry and an expert in intelligent Internet research, said that human beings need to change from the era of information transmission to the era of induction and intelligent analysis. New IT will play a very important role in this transformation process.
Xiang Ligang said in the opinion sharing that the "new IT" is to extend people's sensing ability forward, let people's original cognition of the world, and establish big data through induction capabilities. On this basis, through the algorithm, artificial intelligence processing power is established. In the future, it is necessary to move from digitalization to networking and then to intelligence, which is an unstoppable historical trend.
In the process of this transformation, a number of capabilities will form new integrated capabilities. These capabilities will not only affect consumption and thinking, but also affect all aspects of business models, social management and social production. With the emergence of new business models and business systems, the terminals used by users will also undergo revolutionary changes.
Xiang Ligang said that what the "new IT" should do to enter the production field is nothing more than three things, to enhance capabilities, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. In this regard, China has come to the forefront of the world, and when these capabilities and values are integrated, China has the ability to guide the world and set an example for the world.

We need to think fast to understand the new IT
Internet expert Hu Yanping said that "new IT" is not a abandonment of old IT, nor is it a denial of old IT. In the "end, edge, cloud, network, intelligence" architecture, no matter how far artificial intelligence goes, the "end" part is still very important, even more and more important. Whether it is c-end consumers or B-end enterprises, all aspects of the industry, including the industrial Internet and industrial informatization, everyone is experiencing the process of understanding changes.
In response to the industry's perception of industry changes after the epidemic, Hu Yanping said that some of the signals reflected in the current market may be considered by a considerable number of people to think that it is short-lived and local, but these signals are not a short-sighted phenomenon. For individuals in the "new IT" scenario, from the perspective of linear thinking and quantitative thinking, the growth of basic needs requires practitioners to understand with double-speed thinking to understand why this market has come again after 30 years and will usher in a new round of outbreaks.
This change of new IT is by no means a short-term phenomenon, and requires systematic preparation of the industry, from the observation level, judgment level, cognitive level, and ecological construction, technology, products, business, solutions follow-up, there will be a positive positive feedback on the consumer side.

Seize new IT opportunities to quickly develop resilience
Liu Xingliang, executive chairman of the Zhongguancun Digital Media Industry Alliance, summed up six excaliburs for the new IT, namely ABCDEF. Where A is AI, artificial intelligence, B is blockchain, C is cloud computing, D is big data, E is edge computing, and F is fog computing.
Liu Xingliang said that the changes between old IT and new IT that he understands are mainly the old IT era, which is about "subversion", while the new IT is more about "integration". The role of practitioners is no longer that of the disruptors of the past, but to make the industry better through the integration of technology and business innovation.
In the direction, in the past, the main focus was on the internal and corresponding industrial chains of the enterprise, while in the new IT era, it is necessary to face the overall industry and industry in the future, horizontally roll out, and the Internet of Everything. In terms of infrastructure, old IT and new IT have also achieved a shift from platform to ecology.
For the understanding of new IT, Liu Xingliang believes that in the new IT era, various processes should change from consent to intention. At the production level, it is necessary to change from giving it to people to using machines. And people go elsewhere to play their due role.
"The species that survive in the world are not the strongest, not the smartest, but the ones that respond quickly. Whoever can combine better, who may become an immortal species. Liu Xingliang quoted a quote from Darwin to summarize his views.

New IT-oriented intelligent transformation Node-type products will become a key link
Gao Fei, editor-in-chief of Zhiding Media, said when talking about the new IT that the biggest difference between the new and old IT is that the original IT is a technology, and the current IT is a concept, which is a transformation towards intelligence. The process of IT transformation has just begun, and in the process of transformation, "intersection" is a very important concept.
Gao Fei said that all of our technological dividends now are actually a continuation of the existing system a hundred years ago, the theoretical system has been exhausted, and now more is the use of existing systems in continuous excavation, this excavation process is "crossover". Associating one discipline or disciplines with another to form more intersections, such as the intersection of biological computing, biotechnology and computational technology, can lead to greater creativity. This "intersection" will form a "node"
The transformation process of new IT to intelligence, a large number of node-based products will become more and more important in the future. PCs are node-based products that span different fields. In the future, many companies will also become new leaders because of the node-type products created by PCs, or node-type technologies.
Goofy summarized the nodes in three important directions for this purpose. The first is the node of technology, such as IT technology, information technology and traditional manufacturing technology, and there must be a node between these three technologies.
The second is the node between the technology industry, and there is also a node between the technology and industry support. Now more of a chasm is between technology and manufacturing between different industries. The third is the node between consumer and supplier, supply and demand. Node-type products and node-based companies will become more and more important in the future, and this node is the process of forming an ecology.
At the "New IT" - New Picture of Digital Social Infrastructure Research Report Conference and Expert Seminar, experts and scholars in various fields made in-depth interpretations of the overall trend of "new IT", key issues, possible breakthroughs, competitive situations in various countries, and China's alternative strategies from multiple levels such as industry, technology, products and industries.
