Kevin Kelly:

Kevin Kelly (Kevin Kelly, 1952 ~), publisher of global overview magazine and editor in chief of Wired magazine. His editor's "global survey" is Jobs's favorite magazine. Comrade Joe's most famous phrase "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" is from the global survey.

In his book "runaway" published in 1994, Kevin Kelly mentioned the concepts of popular wisdom, cloud computing, Internet of things, virtual reality, agile development, collaboration, win-win, symbiosis, co evolution, network community, network economy and so on. The concepts put forward more than 10 years ago have become reality, or are rising or even hot.

The 1999 movie "the matrix" is a metaphor for Kevin Kelly's observation and prediction of Internet culture to some extent. Out of control is also one of the three books that the film director requires the main actor to read. In 2006, Chris Anderson, the author of the long tail, commented on the runaway website on Amazon's website: "this is probably the most important book in 90s", "probably the smartest book in the past ten years".

Li Kaifu:

Um... Do you need to introduce him? He has worked as an executive in apple, Microsoft and Google, and is now the chairman and chief executive officer of innovation works.

Zhang Xiangdong:

He graduated from information management department of Peking University in 1999. In 2003, Deng Yuqiang, the two class friend of the same bedroom in Peking University, and 3G (portal CEO), joined hands with Chang Yingming (the current 3G portal COO). Nowadays, as the largest wireless Internet portal in China, 3G portal has created an independent and free mode of wireless Internet in China.
