The situation of IT industry in Taiwan
The situation of IT industry in Taiwan
Sanders Lin
Hello, Eric, this is Sanders Lin. Today it is my pleasure to talk something about the main industry in Taiwan, IT industry, which consists of most of our revenue in all kinds of international trading activities.
In the fluctuated field, especially the IT industry, I would like to talk about our computer first. Today, most of Taiwanese IT companies for manufacturing computer hardware are just some kind of OEM companies. They have no enough coral technologies to design their own product, although they can do layout, SMT…and so on, most of them just receive the order and the original designing map from the lab of American companies, just like AMD makes orders to UMC, and Intel makes orders to TSMC. The margin interest of OEM companies, (in a word, they are just some kinds of factories) is few. Since there is not enough of our own abilities of designing in Taiwanese company, most of chipsets, layouts, programs…and so on, are not designed by Taiwanese company, it is not a good phenomenon and we have to focus on the field of R&D more in order to improve our own technologies and skills.
However, how do it? In my opinion, the basic science education is the best solution, even the total solution. If one person wants to be more intelligent, he/she has to learn more, thinks more, and grows or develops him/herself more. There nothing different form a country. Today, Taiwan relies on IT industry very much in international trading activities, but lack of R&D ability. So it is a good way that we focus on our basic science and basic courses (Literature, Linguistics, Math, Physics, Chemical…) not to support our financial field more,(to merge some small banks, or some awful financial revolution, I think it is just some kinds of political games). The IT industry is just one of examples, there are too many industry which we do not have our own creative skills. Why? Since we never develop ourselves, so we can not do it well!!!
Actually, I do not prefer some kind of industry, just because I have learn computer more than other students since it is very lucky for me that I have more opportunities to get knowledge and skills of computer. In fact, IT industry is a polluting industry, especially when I repair computers of my friends or classmates, it is always coming up to me: although we human beings “conquer” the world by IT products and skills, we have been leading some kind of “anti-nature” lives. Our thinking way and habits are far from our nature pr our environment. No matter what kind of religious you believe in, our God or Buddha never ask us to lead a “anti-natural” way. We have polluted our environment too much, so human beings have to save it, this is our social responsibility.
Now, I have to introduce some of IT products. This is our Flash Disk, or so we call as “USB Disk”. Some kind of flask memory, it consists of our memory card in DC(digital camera), PC or NB (notebook). So far the function of Flash dish is usb2.0, the transporting speed is 40 times faster than usb1.0. In the future, there will be some new products called usb3.0. Not only have more speeded than 2.0, but also more functions than it. When we use usb1.0 or 2.0, what we can do is just to save and read our data in the Flash memory disk. However, in the USB3.0 flash disk, all of your own OS(office system) are included in it. That is, when you link your usd3.0 disk in my computer, the interface of Windows will turn into yours, you do not have to change your habits to work in my computer. Sounds amazing!! maybe I do not have to buy a computer, just bring my usb3.0 disk included my own OS and all of my data within it, and link it into the computer in any computer lab, it is very convenient for everyone. Maybe there will be less people buying PC or NB in the future, I guess).
The situation of IT industry changes too fast and too much, and the products catalog consist of very huge and different items. Usb 3.0 is a good idea, so today I put it as the main product in my article, and I believe that it is a nice creativity, we Taiwanese need to learn the ability of researching and designing from foreign companies. I deeply hope that our government can concentrate on some important issues, not always play their politic games, and do something, our future in the IT field will be better!!
