Intelligent booking requirements

6 in the morning. Mr. Zhang, chief executive of one of Shanghai's largest information and communications technology companies, is enjoying the pleasure of shaving in the morning. The built-in screen in the shaving mirror rolled up the morning news feeds as usual, showing the order according to his requirements - first local news and then international news. He used voice start control to select several messages that need to be read later, and then sent them to his smartphone.

Then the mirror showed his day's activities: hosting a video conference at the company's headquarters, finalized the upcoming organizing ceremony of the global network City Award, attending the celebration in conjunction with the world telecommunication and information society day, and the last important event was to celebrate his 21 th birthday for his granddaughter in Australia. The screen confirmed that the cake he had bought with his wife had been delivered to his son's home in Melbourne.

15 years ago, in 2010, World Expo was held in Shanghai. Compared with 15 years ago, the world seems to have changed. It is unthinkable that Mr. Zhang thought that the massive global financial crisis in the last 2008-2010 years turned out to be an important turning point, an opportunity caught by the world in a timely manner.

Without that crisis, it may take decades to deploy the necessary global broadband infrastructure. However, the information and communication technology stimulus plan in the world has completed the work in just a few years, effectively promoting the extraordinary development of the economy, technology and society.

Because a day ago, Mr. Zhang used his cell phone to lock windows and doors and open alarm devices and monitor probes before he left the apartment.

{page_break} smiled at the thought of what was going to happen in the apartment. From the moment he leaves, the vacuum cleaner will be cleaned by house and then automatically charged. The washing machine is checking the labels on his clothes at this time to ensure that they are cleaned with the correct cleaning procedures. The shutters of the apartment capture all the sunlight that can be collected and use it as a source of hot water. The refrigerators connected to the Internet ordered the necessities to the nearby shops and the materials he planned to hold for the weekend family feast for the lady who came home from Australia.

In the afternoon, he had not arrived home, and all the items he ordered had been placed in the electronic control freezer at the door waiting for him to arrive. When the goods are delivered, he only needs to send a password to the refrigerator by using his mobile phone, so that he can accept the food in the cabinet.

The road to work is smoother.

Mr. Zhang opened his car lock with his cell phone, instructed the car to send him to the company, stopped halfway, and fetched the ordered coffee. The car used advanced GPS data and real-time traffic information to find the best route, and then integrated into the busy morning traffic flow.

In his view, one of the biggest changes in Shanghai was to ban the manual driving of motor vehicles. The benefits brought to everyone were very exciting: congestion was greatly relieved; traffic accidents were dropping sharply; people everywhere could enjoy more leisure and personal space no matter where they drove. In addition, because quiet electric cars completely replace the noise of rumbling gasoline and diesel cars, the feeling of tranquility and fresh air on the road every day is really a joy.

The car ran smoothly into the cafe where it could be driven, and the robot attendant handed the latte coffee every morning. This time, he made use of his cell phone to make coffee and make the necessary payment. It's paper money and coins. How did people cope with it in the past? He could not help thinking to himself. The robot thought it was reasonable and wished him a safe journey.

On the bus, Mr. Zhang changed the news he chose earlier to his portable news screen, and read his voice records on his cell phone, which helps him to summarize later. As the car passed through the city smoothly, he saw all the reform measures taken by Shanghai to save energy and reduce pollution.

At present, all buildings in the city have the ability of self cleaning and carbon neutralization. Green water has achieved self circulation, and the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been treated. Natural light, wind energy, solar energy and rainfall are carefully recycled to maintain the efficient operation of the city. Public transport is smooth and efficient. For the 25 million residents of Shanghai, the most important thing is that public transport is almost free for passengers. The funds come from comprehensive fees such as private vehicle purchase tax, carbon tax and advertising contract, all of which are supported by the intelligent information and communication technology monitoring and certification system.

Before he arrived at the company, Mr. Zhang made a quick health check-up with his smartphone and sent data through the medical monitoring system he used. The system told him everything was normal, but his blood pressure was slightly higher than last week, so he needed several additional tests when he made the next comprehensive check-up. But there is nothing to worry about at the moment.

cut short the work day

As usual, the office's day goes very fast - at least in part, thanks to efficiency improvement, which reduces the current official working time to just 6.5 hours a day.

{page_break} spent most of the morning on the technical arrangement of the next series of global networked city awards, through video conferences and other networked City colleagues. Later this year, the award ceremony will be held in Shanghai. As a well-known CEO, Mr. Zhang is excited to see that the number of networked cities has increased from about 30 in World Expo in 2010 to hundreds of today, and the number of networked towns and networked villages is also increasing.

At the beginning of the afternoon, Mr. Zhang, together with the CEO and local government officials of many companies, attended the activities organized by Shanghai in conjunction with the world telecommunication and information society day (WTISD). This year coincides with the establishment of the ITU 160th anniversary, a special institution celebrating the UN's information and communications technology. Mr. Zhang thought that without the ITU's work, the world would be far from what it is today - and Shanghai will not make such great progress with the development of information and communication technology.

15 years ago, ITU combined with World Expo in 2010, hosted the world telecommunications and information society day in Shanghai for the first time. Mr. Zhang recalled the event with deep affection. It was his granddaughter's 6 birthday. On that day, he told granddaughter the importance of information and communication technology to change the future -- he was right. Today, communication technology has been everywhere and can be continuously enjoyed by people at any time and anywhere.

Celebrations for an overseas granddaughter

At 3 p.m., Mr. Zhang was sent home, and he had enough time to prepare for his granddaughter's birthday party. At 4 p.m. local time, at 6 p.m. Melbourne time, he passed the video conference system to connect his son's home and watched his granddaughter blow out 21 candles on the cake. This marks a real number of professionals stepping into the ranks of adults. And he was delighted to have a special gift on his granddaughter's birthday to invite her to Shanghai, one of the most digitalized cities in the world.
