Collect information
In the industrial age, the information collected is mainly consumers-middlemen-terminal manufacturers. There are too many levels of middlemen. It is not surprising that they are level one, two and ten. The ability and efficiency of collecting information can be imagined.
Data age
The first type is also consumer-intermediary-terminal manufacturer, but the intermediary is at most two levels; the second type, data is directly passed between consumers and terminal manufacturers.
Data processing
For example, the feedback from consumers in the industrial age has been collected by countless levels of middlemen, and finally to the terminal manufacturer. In the data age, there are few intermediaries and the transmission speed is very fast. More advanced is that consumers and terminal manufacturers have already interacted with data.
Data dissemination
Only useful real information can be called data. In the industrial age, data dissemination, we are terminal manufacturers to traditional media, may have to pass through a layer of advertisers, and then through intermediaries to our consumers.
In the data age, terminal manufacturers go directly to consumers, or terminal manufacturers go to consumers through new media, or terminal manufacturers still go to consumers through traditional media.
Frontier companies in the data age have opened up the entire industry chain and the entire data.
