In China and even in the world, Huawei is a wonder. Although it started producing mobile phones not many years ago, it has become one of the most famous phone companies.
Now Huawei has got third place at the mobile market, just following Apple and Samsung. After seeing more of its smartphones were sold last year, Huawei appears to be more confident in its bigger goals.
“We hope that in three years our market share can be the top two and in five years our market share can be the top one, ” Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer(消费者) Business Group, said in a recent TV interview.
The company sold 108 million smartphones in 2015, compared with 2014, the number increased by 44 percent, though it was much smaller than Apple’s 231. 5 million iPhones and Samsung’s 317. 2 million smartphones.
“The number of our smartphones is still growing, ” Yu said, “and our company is expecting an increase of 30% in smartphone shipments(出货量). It’ll be a great success.”
Although Huawei’s smartphones sold well in Western Europe and China, the market in the US is another example. Yu said that the company was “so late” to the US. However, we are trying hard to raise our market share there in the next few years.

Do you know that there’s a possibility that you may live forever? You will have computers which are 1,000 times more intelligent than Albert Einstein, one of the smartest scientists ever in the world? Yes! All these may happen in 20 years or more. In the next 20 or 30 years, the world will change much faster than ever before because the change of science and technology will be simply breath-taking.
Computers will take human personalities, as well as the ability to understand words and their meanings when you speak to them. Tomorrow’s computer will be so developed that it can have a face-to-face chat with you like an old friend. In fact, you don’t even have to speak to it. Just like a friend, the computer will also have the ability to understand your thoughts.
However, will computers take over the world? Probably not, for people will also get superhuman abilities. They may never die. “Unless a person is unlucky enough to die early from an accident or a disease, he has a good chance of not dying at all. Genetics (基因学) will make this possible.” says Pearson, a British futurologist as well as a trained physicist.
Recently there have been many reports about discovering the code of the human genome, which decides many facts of heredity (遗传). This finding will make it possible to repair damage (修复损伤) caused by age and disease, keeping people young forever. Besides, if people suddenly die, it would be possible to recreate them with the help of the genetics.
So we have the reason to believe, with the development of genetic engineering and computer science technology, human beings will have superhuman abilities and the possibility of being young and alive forever. While at the same time, computers will be much more intelligent than we can magine. Then who will control (控制) the world?
