“Hardwares” and “softwares”
June 13, 2008
Yesterday, I saw a travel site with the standard warnings about China — don’t let exotic Asian women trap you on the street, watch for fake RMB, and so forth. Hey, you too might wind up naked on YouTube if you mess up!
This statement under China caught my eye:
Though China’s hardwares (buildings, decoration etc.) are chasing very fast but the softwares (thinking, mind-set and attitude) and people’s mind-set have at least 10 to 15 years difference. What an interesting and elegant way of capturing the zeitgeist.
The table on that page is worth the price of admission. Priceless.
