Before long though it becomes clear to Danny that there is more to Nai Nai than meets the eye, and that they have more in common that he thought possible ... 'DANNY CHUNG DOES NOT DO MAT

Before reading this book, you probably had some moments of curiosity in your life where you questioned certain things about Korean culture. Why is there a Pepsi logo on the Korean flag? Why do Korean kids in my class only have like... three last names (Kim, Lee, Park)? If you are a K-Drama addict, and even took the time to watch variety shows with your favorite idols, your thoughts and interest towards Korea may have grown even deeper What does 'Korea' mean, and why do Koreans love kimchi so much? Maybe, if you're a Koreaboo, you may wonder why you become a year (or two years) older as soon as arriving in Korea, why there's so much drama in those street tent bars, and how Koreans drink so much soju from those infamous green bottles. And, probably the question on everyone's mind in 2020, why is BTS so dang popular (honorable mention: What the heck does "Gangnam Style" mean)?Well, if you get lost in translation, you can simply look up the word in the dictionary or on the latest phone app

物聯網（Internet of Things, IoT）是透過各式傳感設備，按約定的協議，把任何物品與網際網路相連接，進行信息交換與通信，以實現對物品的智慧化識別、定位、監控、跟蹤和管理的一種網絡。簡言之，物聯網就是「物物相連的網際網路」。其中涵蓋了感測（Thing）、網路（Communication）、智慧應用（AI Services）三個主要層面。網路通訊、感測器與物聯網設備、雲端服務的發展，使得物聯網應用不斷地擴展。 民生公共物聯網（Civil IoT, CIoT）：國外常用名詞為Public IoT Services，其意為政府透過IoT技術提供智慧化公用領域服務（G2C/G2B）。另一方面，除了消費市場物聯網應用外，企業市場物聯網IIoT應用商機更是龐大。IIoT的生態系包含應用服務、聯網載具、通訊、平台、應用服務與分析以及系統整合服務。其中，平台營收占比不高，但卻具備聚合生態系的關鍵角色。IIoT提供各應用領域轉型效益，如提升生產力、降低成本與風險等，客戶漸跳脫過往純硬體需求情境，轉而尋求完整的軟硬整合方案，帶動IIoT應用商機成長。 隨著AI與IoT快速匯流，及物聯網裝置未來將無所不在，越來越多企業致力布局打造AIoT解決方案，同時也開始思考如何將所蒐集的數據多元使用，並應用到各垂直領域，與客戶共同朝向創造社會新價值的目標努力。 中國大陸近期也積極推動工業互聯網發展政策，欲透過物聯網、大數據、人工智慧等技術，提升製造業能力，朝製造強國目標邁進。 此外，各種IoT裝置的電源問題一直是IoT應用擴大的瓶頸。近來採集光、溫差、振動、環境電波的能量，轉換成電力的「能源採集」技術出現突破性進展，可望實現IoT裝置之去電池化。除投入研發已有28年歷史的染料敏化太陽能電池技術課題獲得解決外，具優越機械強度的熱電發電元件，以及原本被認為難以實現之無需溫差的熱發電元件等新技術也陸續出現，與IoT裝置結合將可解決電源問題，進而帶動IoT應用邁向普及的新境界。 本書以物聯網發展為主題，彙整民生公共物聯網、工業物聯網等各面向發展趨勢，國際大廠智慧物聯網布局分析，以及物聯網發展下的智慧化應用案例，供相關業者或研究單位作為參考。

在以人工智慧（AI）為核心之新興數位科技的應用領域持續擴大下，「AI經營」將成為第三波數位革命勝出的關鍵。能否透過有效的「AI經營」，運用本身優勢與AI結合之加乘效果，開創出產品或服務的新價值，成為市場贏家，是各界注目焦點。近年在運算處理功能與網路傳輸速度持續提升、行動應用普及與社群媒體盛行、各種資料快速累積，且容易取得之下，人工智慧相關技術快速發展並進入商用化階段。人工智慧的發展除影響生活與消費型態之外，亦將造成工作型態等之逐漸改變，目前在各行各業應用可謂呈現無所不在的狀態。 以大數據結合AI而言，企業內部數據、政府公開資料，加上物聯網、社交網路、電子商務等新資訊應用形態，不斷產生數據，累積而成的大數據，已充斥在社會各角落。如何有效萃取、分析數據，並實際應用在各種領域，進行需求、行為、價格、風險、故障等預測，進而產生經濟與社會價值，是業者共同追求的目標。但如何從這些數據資產中找到合適的應用，也成為企業在數位轉型時期的發展重點之一，近年愈來愈多公司以代理的方式提供大型或中型企業數據分析的服務，以此協助不同領域之公司在銷售、服務或是設備上的各種數據判讀。 此外，AI或IoT（Internet of Things）系統幾乎不可能是由一家廠商獨力開發，往往必須仰賴與外部企業、研究機構的攜手合作，才得以完成，因此也造成智財模式出現變化。廠商在開發AI或IoT系統時，就需利用專門業者提供的「平台」，相關成果也會匯集在平台上，以致智財將難由裝置廠商單獨持有，而需與平台業者共用。在AI、IoT相關技術與應用的崛起下，已逐漸顛覆廠商對智財的傳統思維，由於效益可進一步擴大，亦為智財模式帶來一股新風潮。 人工智慧的發展，逐漸成一種跨領域的重要技術核心，除了常見的醫療、製造等領域進行AI化外，愈來愈多商業應用如：ERP、行銷等領域軟體也採用AI進行加值。基於AI技術所發展出的產品或服務，包括AI化之軟體產品、AI／認知（如：圖像、語音、自然語言辨識／處理）產品服務、AI於嵌入式環境中之學習及推論相關工具服務等。 舉例而言，基於深度學習的快速發展，愈來愈多深度學習的學習及推論逐漸由雲端走向邊緣端，因此在企業邊緣端的環境中提供簡單易用的人工智慧工具及管理平台，可為企業加速打造模型、系統部署及模式最適化等工作。 機器學習工具及平台的快速發展下，現階段已有許多企業開始大量運用機器學習的平台來為自

Part of the experience of being alive in the twenty-first century is the feeling that your attention span is collapsing, along with those of everyone around you - including your children.

He tells us what he learned from spending three months off the internet, reveals the inside story of the war to grab our attention that is waged every day, and explores why those prescribing mood stimulants to 10% of children in schools are getting it so wrong.Drawing on more than two hundred interviews with the world's leading experts on attention problems, Stolen Focus moves beyond individual solutions towards a collective understanding of a problem facing us all.
