The challenge of the future

Our lives are changing rapidly in today's world, and the changes will be significant within the next 100 years.

No one can predict the coming years, decades, or centuries, but we can anticipate the rapid changes that will occur in the future.

The future of progress

When we think about the future, we must also consider the future of the conditions of progress. There are two types of progress. Horizontal progress or extensive progress and vertical progress or intensive progress .

Horizontal improvement means being able to replicate and improve on every possible practical issue.

Horizontal progress is extensive progress, which means that you can do anything that will work in practice to achieve progress widely, while vertical progress is intensive progress , which means that you can do something consistently and long-term and achieve success. In the horizontal progression model, extensive work refers to the process of progressing from “1 to n ” ( new thing) to knowing new things, while the vertical progression model refers to the process of working consistently from “0 to 1” (knowing nothing to knowing something).

In studying vertical and horizontal patterns of development... the vertical pattern of development suggests that going from knowing nothing to knowing something requires effort and difficulty.

It has been found that as a performer, you need to be able to do something that other people have never done before.

Horizontal progression is easier (and easier to try) than vertical progression because it starts with knowing something and then works to learn new things in a broader sense.

In fact, horizontal growth represents global development, known as globalization, while vertical growth refers to the gradual acceleration of technology.

According to the horizontal model of progress, which represents global progress, we must seek widespread progress to make what works in one place work everywhere.

China has been planning and working hard for 20 years to catch up with the United States today.

China has tried to imitate many of the products that developed countries use to improve its economy, which clearly shows that it has not stopped at the familiar, but rather has tried to learn new things in a broad, horizontal manner.

In the 19th century, China built many railways and improved its urban transportation system. In the 20th century, it expanded its manufacturing industry to the global level and gained a foothold in the market. Today, in the 21st century, it can still imitate all the famous products in the world and continue to expand its development in all aspects and sectors. China's development plans will go beyond the ordinary and continue to develop at a global level.

Vertical growth directly refers to technological progress, and in today's era of information and technology, America's Silicon Valley has emerged as the capital of all things technology.

Global development and technological progress are evolving in different ways, both in terms of form and method.

It's entirely possible for you to get both of these types of growth. However, you probably don't want to get both of them at the same time.

For example, the period from 1815 to 1914 was a period of rapid technological advancement and global development.

However, while 1971 was a period of technological advancement for China, it was not in a position to break through and advance to a global level.

Without any technological advancements, China had no chance of growth. During that period, China doubled its energy production and continued to grow industrially for another 20 years.

The study found that China's doubling of industrial production has led to a rise in carbon dioxide emissions and a doubling of air pollution.

If the world we live in becomes increasingly energy-scarce, then global development without new technologies will not be sustainable in the long term. Technological advances do not emerge spontaneously, but rather develop at a rapid pace through a process of evolution.
