Today (September 7), the first China Digital Carbon Neutrality Summit Forum was held in Chengdu. At the main forum in the morning, Wang Jian, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and expert in cloud computing technology, delivered a speech. Wang Jian said that today's digitalization is the electrification of a hundred years ago. Digitalization will impact the next hundred years.
Wang Jian also mentioned that in 2000, the American Academy of Engineering selected the 20 greatest engineering and technological achievements of the twentieth century, and the first one was electrification, followed by automobiles, airplanes, computers, the Internet, and so on. Everyone may be surprised, why can electrification be in the first place? Because a lot of people put this thing behind their heads, because humans have almost done such a thing. It can be seen that today's more familiar from cars, airplanes, all the way to the computer Internet, are ranked after electrification. A lot of people have a very big feeling after reading this list, if there is no electrification, probably a lot of technology today would not have happened. Digitalization may play the same role.
