"Information and communication technology makes city life better," is the theme of the 2010 World Telecommunication and Information Society Day. In cities, ICTs are changing people's lifestyles and behavioral patterns and have become a catalyst for enriching and improving urban life. As Dr. Hamadoun Touré, Secretary-General of ITU, said, ICTs pave the way for a better future.
Dr. Hamadoun Touré added that for many city dwellers, life without ICTs is simply unimaginable. From television to mobile telephony and the Internet, ICTs have transformed the world, helping hundreds of millions of people to live, work and play in the most innovative ways. At the same time, ICTs are managing cities in innovative ways, especially in the increasingly integrated information society, exchanging information knowledge and communicating on the move.
A few years back, a group of scientists and futurists predicted that the real turning point in human history would be 2020. They believed that among the great changes that will take place in the first 20 years of the 21st century, there is no field with more rapid development, wider application and greater potential than information technology.
What impact will ICT have on our lives in the next 10 years? What will our information and communication life be like? Let's travel through time and space, to think about the future of the city's information and communication life.
Computer -- omnipotent intelligent terminal
In a restaurant near Jianwai SOHO West in Beijing's China World Trade Center, Mr. Wang could not wait to pull out his laptop just as he took his seat. "There is a document that needs to be sent to my colleagues quickly." Mr. Wang said. Many people, like Mr. Wang, are increasingly dependent on their computers and need to carry their laptops with them.
So what kind of computer will the future look like? What features will they have? Most consumers believe that the future of the computer will be equipped with image graphics, navigation, audio-visual, transmission, communication and all other functions of the miniature intelligent terminal equipment, computers will assume the role of audio-visual entertainment centers, information processing centers, network access centers, online shopping terminals, and so on multiple roles, and towards the fashionable, compact, intelligent development.
For example, are your elderly parents in good health? Is the child listening carefully in class? If there is such a worry, you can use the palm of the computer through remote networking to understand. Similarly, if people are in a strange city, there will not be the slightest panic, palm computer is like a cell phone like the shadow of the body, people can easily use it to get all kinds of information about the local area, but also through the palm computer online shopping, playing games, watching TV, listening to music, reading, chatting and so on.
Currently, major computer manufacturers are constantly developing new technologies and materials, and computers are gradually developing into intelligent, miniaturized, thin and light, and low power consumption.

With high-performance integrated chip, the future of the computer's performance will be greatly improved, and will eventually appear portable palm computer.
In addition, the interactive communication technology between people and computers is also making progress, more convenient human-computer communication. Future computers will be able to communicate directly with the user by voice. The function of the computer keyboard will be gradually reduced, people control the computer is no longer through the keyboard input text, but with voice to control, greatly facilitating the disabled.
In order to attract consumers, the future of the computer will also have a major breakthrough in the design of the computer will become more and more fashionable. And there will be more new materials applied to computers, even computer monitors, keyboards, etc. can be bent, folded, or rolled up like a newspaper, in the bag. In short, along with the leap in technology, the computer for consumers, will be a combination of life and work of the super machine, the computer's compact, intelligent features to meet the different needs of all types of users.
Intelligent transportation system -- let the road network at all times in the best state
Through the vehicle intelligent system can be real-time understanding of the traffic information data picture
You may wish to envision such a scenario: when the passengers waiting for a bus at the bus stop, through the electronic station not only can view the operation of each bus line When waiting at a bus stop, passengers can not only see the operation of each bus route through the electronic bus stop, including the arrival time, which bus arrives first, etc., in order to make the most reasonable choice, even if they are blind passengers, they only need to bring along the voice-guided blindness receiver, can be in a few dozens of meters away from the digital bus stops, to receive the voice information.
In the foreseeable future, the advanced information technology, data communication technology, electronic control technology and computer processing technology into one, applied to the ground traffic management system of intelligent transportation system, can be collected by a variety of road traffic and service information, through the centralized processing of the traffic management center, transmitted to the highway traffic system of each user, and ultimately make the traffic management department can be Automatic traffic diversion; transportation department can always grasp the dynamic situation of vehicles and reasonable scheduling; travelers can be real-time traffic mode and traffic route selection. In this way, the traffic on the road network will often be in the best state, maximize the capacity of the road and ease traffic congestion.
In the future, the intelligent transportation system will provide travel services for people from many aspects. Travelers can not only travel through the car before the computer and wireless communication equipment in real time to obtain all kinds of traffic information, such as road network conditions, traffic status, a variety of driving information, a variety of service facilities, location, etc., but also with the car positioning system to choose their own driving route, travel time, so as to avoid congestion road. At the same time, the system will also collect and process a large amount of road traffic information in real time, and then release it to the road electronic alert signs. For example, accident information, road construction information, public transportation schedules, weather conditions and so on. Travel service information, on the other hand, can provide a directory of the locations, operating hours, and business items of restaurants, hotels, parking lots, repair shops, hospitals, and other public **** facilities, which are available everywhere.
Smart Grid - Driving Changes in Family Life Patterns
Delayed making dinner due to traffic jams even if you get off work on the wrong day? Fear not. If you are fortunate enough to be a resident of a smart grid community, just click the mouse in the office before returning home from work, and the command message will be transmitted to the smart home appliance information center. The washing machine will automatically start to wash the morning clothes, the rice cooker will start to cook rice, the water heater will start to boil water at a set temperature - you can enjoy it when you get home. Such a lifestyle is not a distant dream, but can be realized in smart neighborhoods under smart grid construction.
Zhang Ning, general manager of the State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Company, said the first phase of the smart grid construction project in the new Eco-city will be completed by the end of 2011, and the families in the smart electricity district will be able to enjoy the full range of intelligent services mentioned above.
Smart grid services are far more than electric water heaters, air conditioners, refrigerators and other sensitive loads in the family power information collection and control, but also through intelligent power equipment to realize the meter query, property distribution, network value-added, medical and other special services, as well as emergency help, gas leakage, smoke detection, infrared detection in the integration of the home security system, and so on. The user side of the entire smart grid mainly includes power information collection system, intelligent power district, electric vehicle charging and discharging facilities, intelligent power business hall, etc., and people's lifestyles will be changed in the future as a result. For example, with the intelligent system of blind spot-free monitoring, a new type of real-time, efficient, reliable and interactive power supply and use relationship can be established, and the intelligent system will help enterprises and home users to carry out rational planning of the power consumption system and choose low-priced power consumption time, etc.
Intelligent power district users will also enjoy power fiber to the home, there are power outlets where there is an information network, not only information interaction, and even energy exchange.
The promotion of electric cars and electric bicycles is an important factor in an ecological low-carbon city, and the construction of charging stations and charging piles will provide a solid foundation. The use of electricity instead of fuel for cars will undoubtedly become another feature of smart cities.
According to preliminary calculations, a purely electric car consumes only about 7 to 12 kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers, and can travel 300 kilometers on a two-hour charge if it adopts a fast-charging mode. In addition to fast charging at the charging station, people traveling can use the battery replacement mode. In the near future, when the battery of your electric vehicle is about to run out, just drive the car to the charging station to change a set of batteries. According to the State Grid's plan, electric vehicle charging stations will cover large and medium-sized cities in China by 2020.
