A rewarding learning experience so far

The internship is coming toward its end. I liked the experience so far. It provided me a great opportunity to go inside the industry I am interested in always but did not find enough exposure to it. With the internship, I got access to the whole eco-system of the industry, from the technology trend, to the institutions involved in it, to the major players in the market, and most important, the people working in it. They are hard-working with professional training, and always explore new technologies and research new topics. They also have enjoyment in their work and complaints. But when work begins, they bring out 100% attention and effort for it. This kind of spirit impressed me. But without the internship, I will have no way to go near to these people; we are separated by the service interface, through which I require their services and they provide them, and no more beyond the request and supply. Another important point is the potential market growth identified during the project. China developed rapidly and after these decades, the accumulated effect on people’s disposable income is very obvious. They can afford more high-end products, and in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, their GDP per capita is near developed countries. So my observation is that for emerging countries like China and India, their process to become developed countries will be a new way different form history examples; they will not follow a way we find from western countries or Japan and Korea. They are big at territory and population, and there will be no way for all the areas and people in different part of the countries to become basically equally economic developed - that will require such great resources that the earth cannot provide without sacrificing welfare of other countries. The possible development way I think may be some big cities enjoying high level of development as in rich countries, and a large number of cities having medium development level but still greatly improved from the past. This medium cities will become a big market requiring a good balance of quality and price.
