Redfin Technology

The advancement of the Internet has shortened the traditional geographical distance and connected the global population unprecedentedly. In the era of Web 1.0, information spread rapidly through the Internet, while e-commerce has risen to create great enterprises such as Alibaba, Amazon, Baidu, Google and Tencent. In the era of Web 2.0, the Internet has transformed from single-direction dissemination to the era of user-created content. The speed of information dissemination has further accelerated, content has evolved from text and picture to video, and online and offline interactions have become increasingly deeper. Business models such as social networking/O2O/short video/live streaming have emerged, and top companies such as Facebook, Twitter and Tiktok grew rapidly. Businesses and individuals spread more information around the globe and connect the world more closely. In the era of Web 3.0, social life and work have rapidly shifted online in the context of COVID-19. Supported by technologies such as blockchain, crypto, IOT, AI and 5G, the decentralization of the metaverse will reach an unprecedented level. Although anti-globalization is sweeping the global, the process from localization to globalization is subject to subjective and objective obstacles in different countries' ideology, ethnicity, culture, government regulation, etc, leading to increased difficulties for enterprises to operate across borders. But we firmly believe that people should be free, and should have the freedom to pursue their own happiness. Capital, technology, and talents should flow freely, and the flow will further boost the efficiency of the use of production factors, which in turn pushes the government to enhance its governance capabilities and credibility. In the era of decentralized Web 3.0, globalization will eventually return, and the world will become better again. Redfin will focus on connecting the world with technology for the sake of present and coming generations.
