In thinking about intelligence, a product might not quite fit our definition of "smart," but I believed that no matter what technology was used to make what kind of product, its ultimate essence...
Was that really the case? So, when development was still in its early stages and faced so many limitations, if we drew boundaries around ourselves and forcibly pursued this kind of intelligence, perhaps it was not what this era needed most. That was this episode of Technology Relativity. Next time, we'll switch to another topic and talk with everyone again. Hello, everyone. It was another episode of Technology Relativity. Last week, we tore apart plenty of bizarre smart hardware, but there was a second half to that story we hadn't told. In fact, nine times out of ten, these products came from all kinds of crowdfunding platforms at home and abroad. By my estimate, China alone had more than a hundred crowdfunding platforms. So today, let's talk about crowdfunding's past and present. Once, I explained what crowdfunding was to my mom. I said it was when someone had a startup project.
