Microsoft CEO Ballmer: Internet will monopolize media in 10 years

Declaration from Steve Ballmer, the big monkey and CEO of Microsoft: He gave an example of his son playing Xbox compared to when he was young watching TV, in order to prove his prediction is correct, very easily and convincingly.

Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive officer, recently said in an interview with The Washington Post that in the next 10 years, the global media, communications, and advertising industry will undergo a revolutionary change! And boldly predicted that "in the next ten years, all media consumption will be through Internet channels. At that time, traditional print newspapers and magazines will no longer exist, and everything will be issued in electronic form."

If someone had said this 10 years ago, they would definitely have been considered crazy. Back then, let alone the Internet, even using a computer was a luxury. At that time, most of the items on our desks were basically a telephone, a pen holder, and file folders, and there was often a large piece of glass under which company rules and regulations, personally favored prose poems, or family portraits were placed. But looking at today's desks, if there isn't a computer, what a backward company it must be. With the popularization of PCs and the widespread application of the Internet, many users' traditional habits, such as making friends, watching movies, reading news, searching, and entertainment, have already changed.
