The Internet is called the Internet only by computers, and the computer is the product of the scientific and technological development of modern civilization. Therefore, most people regard the Internet industry as a high-tech industry and Internet enterprises as technology-driven enterprises. For an Internet professional, the popular saying is: the website.
There are two levels of technology requirements in the Internet industry. At the user level, the simpler the better. At the developer level, it's pretty complicated. It is reasonable to believe that 90 per cent of people who go online do not actually know what HTTP means or what is called "hypertext" or "database", but this does not affect the increasing number of people accessing the Internet. As one famous person said, you can only eat eggs. Why must you go to see the hen who laid the eggs?
Too many Internet users are so numb to technology that they don't care whether a website is written in Php or Java, or whether it's an SQL Server or an Oracle database in the background. But the idea is not to say: develop "programs" that make most users feel easy to use. Because, in general, this is the equivalent of making a really deep technical system.
People in the IT community generally agree that FireFox is a better browser than Microsoft because IT is said to have fewer bugs and has a lot of plugins to help the browser do more. It may be stronger than IE, but it does have less market share. The reason for this is that you don't need to download and install Internet explorer, and with FireFox, you have to go online to find the software, and it takes a quarter of an hour to download and install it.
The power of business has made IE's market share an important entry point in the Internet world: the number one browser. The power of business also allowed it to defeat Netscape, the first dominant browser. Technology is not everything.
Let's take a look at Google, the business marvel of an online society. It took only ten years to grow from a tiny speck to an empire. Many people think this is due to the skill of Sergey Brin and Larry Page, two Stanford computer PHDS, but the truth is that the empire was not built independently by the two men with the ideal of "open freedom" hackers. Behind the organization, there is a flash of business intelligence.
In Google's decade, a lot has happened. But two things matter most to the company. The first was the introduction of Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins Caufield&Byers, two venture Capital funds, in its first round of funding. The two funds, which have invested a total of $25m, each put a person on the board: Mike Moritz and John Doerr. They have built behemoths such as Sun, Intuit, Amazon and Yahoo.
The second thing that's more important is Eric e. Schmidt joined as chairman and later as chief executive. This gentleman is also known as the "old fox" in American business circles. He once turned Novell into a profitable company.
Google's success is not technological, but commercial. Technology and websites are just tools to make money. So, I've never thought of myself as a web site, as an alternative, as a business. It's just that there are artificial houses to do business, and I run websites to do business. Since it is business, I seldom develop things that have no custome
