Internet
of Things, IoT & Linda Din’s Invention
Written
by Li-Chang Kuo
For
the sake of answering the Calling from the Sovereign LORD, Linda Din left her easy-life
for resolving the jobless problem since 1986. Linda Din started a social
enterprise ‘Sanhornic Enterprise Ltd.’ (SEL) by trading the electronic
components like Audio/Video Connectors to earn money as seed-fund for
researching and developing a coupler—TranSmart Chip Card and its RF Transmitter
(TRD/Toller) which can be mounted on either the transaction and or
identification facilities to form a golden net that new jobs can be thus
created to meet the coming needs. Besides, Linda Din introduced her invention
officially at ‘Market Access’ of APEC 1998
Ministering Meeting to gain a bill of ‘Steering the Electronic Commerce’ and
explained that the information society in the near future must be via internet
doing businesses for everything in addition to the substantial stores; afterwards,
internet gradually be accepted by the people to do everything and to be
internet of things (IoT).
On
May 9, 2001, Linda wrote her ‘Preface’
as bellows:
About fifteen years ago, the
image that “the global economy is experiencing a recession and there is a
sudden increase of unemployed population that needs jobs,” kept on appearing in
my mind. A strong sense of mission to do something for the era has driven me to
devote myself to a long-term research on a new economy model that can solve the
problem of ‘global unemployment’. This model is a financial activation plan,
and it is also a ‘Rich Taiwan’ plan I’ve been proclaiming.
How to create a “Rich Taiwan”?
The key is ‘Private
Sector’s Initiative’, in which people kindly help each other and
work together to create and develop ‘the Intellectual Industries with
derivative value chains’ in order to promote ‘Technologicalization of Traditional
Industries’ and ‘Intellectualization of Technological Industries’. This model
of ‘Innovative Industry’ will also be used for ‘resolving the unemployment ’.
Such efforts have raised
many doubts by the pundits and have been criticized and slandered maliciously
by a cluster of scholars and exports. My strong religious belief has helped me
overcome these knife-like slanders for long time. In recent years, companies in
both Taiwan and the world have continued laying off people and shut down, and
the unemployment rate is climbing without ceasing, this is the best explanation
of why in these past years I have made every effort in ‘Innovative Industry’
and ‘resolving the unemployment’.
I must express my gratitude to
Dr. Ko-Wang Mei for his willingness to write the ‘Foreword’
for my book ‘Linda Din, A Lady of Rich Taiwan’. Dr. Mei was the President of
Police University and the President of Tunghai University. He is now the President
of ‘Taiwan Regional Development Institute’ (NGO), leading a group of talented
business people, government officials, scholars and researchers to contribute
their wisdom and passion to Taiwan ’s
development. His spirituality of cherishing the younger like myself reveals
itself all in the Foreword that I’ll just leave to the readers to find out
themselves.
In the 21st
Century, the knowledge-based economy has already turned into an intellectual
economy. People’s knowledge has greatly increased. Many things can be done by
the private sector. People’s power actively acts worthy of ourselves that will replace
passive expectations as the only way to help us rising and to meet the challenging
downturn.
The former American President
Bill Clinton once said: “Much of the work of
America
cannot be done by government; the solution must be American People through
voluntary service to others.” This statement is quite valid.
Today,
the ‘Rich Taiwan’ plan for the innovative industry and resolving the unemployment
has been underway quietly in the private sector with new hopes longing for
changing the worsening economy. The launch of a ‘Rich Taiwan’ plan will create
tremendous new business opportunities as well as purchasing orders
substantially to benefit those traditional industries and technological
industries.
Obviously, under a highly
globalization, the unemployment problem caused by the recession is happening in
every country. All countries are closely connected to one another and no
country can stay away from this karma. Although a country might luckily stay
out of the crisis for a while, someday it will get its turn. The solution is
for all countries to have empathy for others who suffer, helping each other and
working together to facilitate balanced development of ‘technological outcome’ synchronously
with ‘human
value’.
While the world economy is
experiencing a downturn, the ‘Rich Taiwan’ plan is a New Economy Model, I hope
Taiwan’s successful experience of economic recovery will be brought to the APEC
and the world in the future, serving as a guide for rebuilding the global
economy and a model to learn from, and leading the world to the road of wealth
and peace, ‘from
Rich Taiwan to Rich World’.
