CHINA'S USE OF INTERNET DOMINATING OVER WEST & USA
What the story i am going to share is actually based on visit of famous British anthropologist Tom McDonald nearly 4 years back, in a town named Anshan in China.We can see the increasing trend of people of china in the light of his visit.Initially Mr Tom MacDonald set up his temporary residence in that village Anshan.Anshan is small town type village situated between the two big cites of China Beijing and Shanghai.The basic purpose and object of his visit was to observe and study the way of native people using social media (internet) in their daily routine life.In the beginning they were a little bit confused and felt perplexed at his decision.They struck with wonder to know that why this man decided to live over here in this backward town.Basically this was not developed or advance town.It was a backwater town that is why many people were reluctant to live in this town.There were no glimpses of technical progress in this area and this was the vital cause behind the isolation of this town.All this picture of Anshan was shown by Tom MacDonald.
You can come across a lot of literature and other written material pertaining to the China's use of internet which is limited to their elites class,living in the big cities.But here in Anshan the situation is quite different and amazing.McDonald was not only pleased but also surprised to see tremendous and innovative on line world.There is a great wrong concept that Chinese internet is a little bit boring and not entertaining as that is of UK or USA. Actually these people are entirely unaware of the ground reality of these people and area.IT is more surprising that Chinese users are extremely creative mind and innovative and their use of internet is incredibly lively.It seems just like celebrating a carnival or happy function.
During the course of his stay in China McDonald visited the University of Hong Kong where he had long interaction with different people regarding the China's digital world ,its use and common trend of people along with their tradition development.According to the McDonald on line carnival is the best example related to Chinese use of internet.Even the connectivity in Anshan is better than west which is really amazing development.Even they were in possession of 4-G technology which is not available in many places in west ,i would like to quote example of my home town York shire where this 4-G is not available so for.It is really a very interesting situation and contrast that now days people living in rural areas,villages are enjoying modern and advanced life style and this trend is increasing rapidly with the passage of time.In other words we can say that use of internet in China is bringing great internal and domestic revolution but gradually and slowly.
There is no doubt that China is making progress bu leaps and bound and has become economic super power by virtue of hard work and latest technology.China overwhelmingly surpassing all over the world including even USA ,UK France and Germany.China has left all the world behind in every walk of life particularly in economy.science & technology.Now they are ahead of the west and USA.The day is about to come when china's cities including villages will be role model for the world including America and other advanced countries.IT seems that bright future will be in the hands of china. After a survey it has been revealed that during the last decade ,China was included in the first four countries all over the world in having access of internet. According to the US survey in 2008 there are more than seven million net users along with high speed connection.Maximum users belong to the large populated cities of china and according to the an estimation approximately 178 million people use internet in the rural areas,just consider the example of town like Anshan where population is only 6,000. According to the McDonald an other very interesting aspect of this town was that they never rely upon the crossed-wires-instead of this there many people over there who are technical mind and knows the work related to internet and they consider themselves IT expert which is really amazing and interesting.People like to seek help from these IT expert to resolve their queries pertaining to the internet and with their own research these people were not only happy but also quite satisfied.People were keenly interested in two social network namely Q Q and We Chat and these are the most popular and famous social sites. Sina Weibo is an other micro blogging platform which is not popular with in the country as aforesaid social network,however this site is famous out their country but as regard its users they are very few. Q Q is like a supercharger face book for these people and in the same way We Chat is similar to Whats Appl.
Here people commonly abstain fro using regular email and instead of email they use apps,instant messaging with excitement.these people do believe and like on line friendship that is why these people are very emotional and sentimental regarding friendship.Due internet facility people interact with each other in an informal way by messaging.There is a lot of differences between the British social media and China social media.The people of Anshan resist and refrain from giving political comments .views,and messages on their respective profile pages.But you will think that perhaps it is because of censorship but no, no, not at all.Family and their relationship is the hub of their social media activities along with some interesting different types of saccharine images and messages.Main focus of these people on internet is technology and business which indicates the positive use of internet.He struck with wonder bu seeing colorful memes shooting and diversified type way of celebrating and expressing happy new year.Such type of local and native activity was really amazing and astounding.
Now let me finish my views,feelings and expression pertaining to the visit of McDonald which is in actual a mirror in which we can see the forth coming bright future of China.Now we can see in this era of IT and technology where great China is standing.China is dominating all over the world ,particularly west and gradually surpassing USA with the passage of time.Today China is super power and its future is more bright,glaring and sublime.
