企業應如何勾勒未來2020年「以人為本」的智慧生活商機?社群網路發揮了什麼關鍵性角色?雲端運算如何能兼顧資訊安全及生活便利?《創新發現誌(ideas)》邀請文建會副主委李仁芳、台經院副院長龔明鑫及金智教育首席技術官陳瀅,共同為讀者剖析。

Jen-Fang Lee: Information and communication products are becoming more and more convenient, and smarter as well. Like when I go overseas, I only need to bring my smart phone; no need to bring a camera. In addition to making calls and taking pictures, the iPhone allows me to check my e-mail anytime and take care of business, like a mobile office. Future lifestyles have already been significantly transformed. ICT constitutes Taiwan’s economic foundation; it is currently facing enormous challenges, but it is also an opportunity.
李仁芳:資通訊商品愈來愈便利,也愈來愈聰明,像我出國去,只要帶一支智慧型手機即可,不必再帶相機。iPhone除了聽電話、拍照外,還可隨時上網收信、處理公文,儼然成為行動辦公室。未來的生活型態已大大地改變。ICT是台灣的國本,目前面臨相當大的挑戰,但也是機會。

Min-shin Gong: In the next 10 years the IT industry will remain the mainstream, and hardware will be carriers for services and software—software and hardware will complement each other. In the previous era of the PC, CPU speed determined everything, but at the current stage speed is no longer required of hardware. Rather, in a lifestyle that focuses on the human experience, only software and services can meet demands, and as the industry paradigm has significantly shifted, companies need to be able to flexibly respond to the rapid changes in their surroundings at all times.
龔明鑫:未來10年,IT產業仍是主流,硬體是服務與軟體的載具,軟硬體相輔相成。以前的PC時代, CPU速率決定一切,但現階段,硬體不再求快,在以人為本的智慧生活型態中,軟體與服務才能符合需求,產業典範已大幅移轉,企業隨時要能彈性地因應大環境的快速變化。
