How should we respond to the 5G era? Talking about the prospects and career planning from the perspective of the Internet industry

The 5G war is in full swing, so what are the countries fighting for? Why do we say that this is a major change that has not happened in the world for a century? And why do we call it "a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial revolution to accelerate the reshaping of the world"? So, how should we respond when we are in it?

This question was raised by a college student, and I am first answering this question for college students. In fact, it is also a question that each of us is concerned about.

After reading this article, you will know what computer language you need to learn and what preparations to make now.

Today, we will start from two industries to answer these questions.

This article will focus on the two major industries of manufacturing and service industry and explain from three perspectives:

1. Why do we talk about manufacturing and service industries?

Yes, why manufacturing and service industries? Isn’t 5G affecting the software and Internet industries?

You can say yes, and you can say no.

Let's look at Huawei, a representative of the manufacturing industry. Is Huawei a manufacturing industry? Yes, it manufactures products, such as mobile phones, base stations, servers, and other products. Then, each product is combined with software and chips, so where is the software industry?

Let's take a look at Haidilao. This is a restaurant, which belongs to the service industry. But is Haidilao just a service industry? The entire process behind it, the ingredients, including various production automation, service software, self-media promotion and operation, how many characteristics of manufacturing industry do these have?

Therefore, in today's world, manufacturing and service industries have been integrated because of software and chips. Manufacturing is doing service business, and service industry is also doing manufacturing business. The connection point is software.

It should be noted that chips and software are essentially the same thing. In fact, the software industry also has the characteristics of the manufacturing industry to a certain extent.

2. What does the 5G era bring to the manufacturing and service industries?

3 terms: decentralization, personalization, and high-speed iteration

Behind these three words, there are three technology groups and one demand.

• High-performance cluster technology provides powerful computing capabilities, but before the emergence of 5G, the migration of computing performance was a big problem, and we were unable to achieve real-time response to large-scale calculations over long distances.
• 5G technology solves this problem. 5G successfully migrates computing performance across large distances in time and space, causing traditional central clusters to decline.
• High-speed transportation technology, represented by high-speed railways, highways, civil aviation, etc., has made the logistics system unprecedentedly efficient.
• People's pursuit of a better life has led to a pursuit of individuality that has never appeared in history. The diversification of the market and the rapid changes in demand have put forward new demands and brought new opportunities for the manufacturing and service industries.

3. Development of the Internet Industry and Career Planning

At the beginning of the Internet, it seemed to be a personal toy. As the Internet develops, it has covered almost all industries. So I will classify the Internet industry into the service industry and the manufacturing industry. Because it is everywhere.

In the following, I will equate the three words "Internet", "chips" and "software" and refer to them all as "software".

The future of the software industry is moving towards flattening. What is flattening? There are only two poles: one is the application pole and the other is the basic pole.

• The application side faces the end users and provides solutions and products for them. The characteristics are small team and large output.
• The basic level, facing the application level, provides the basic library and algorithm system for the application level. The characteristics are large team, global collaboration and high specialization.

So where do we stand as individuals?

This requires you to measure and evaluate yourself, whether you have great potential at the basic level or have great ideas at the product level.

There are two languages ​​we need to mention here.

Go and python.

• Go is known as the C language of the Internet age, and provides powerful development performance and convenience for the basic layer architecture.
• Python is a glue language that has great advantages in connecting the basic layer and the application layer. At the same time, its efficiency has been highly recognized by the software industry. This is why so many basic libraries are equipped with Python language interfaces.

So, if you ask, what language is good to learn?

Then perhaps these characteristics are what we need to ask ourselves.

It should be noted that language is just language, and behind it is the relevant professional knowledge background.
