　　“I hope the book will offer something for everyone: for the older generations to bring back fond memories of their work which have changed our world for the better; for current Government and industry leaders to assimilate the analyses of the present status and the forward suggestions to foster a better future for the local ICT industry; and for the young ICT practitioners and students who are contemplating their careers, to realize that the industry will continue to grow with plenty of exciting jobs and opportunities to fulfill their dreams, and to learn from the hard work and dedication of the past generations; for the generic historians and even the public in acquainting with the rapid advancements of our industry and the major social changes that they have created; and for fellow ICT practitioners to further contribute their experiences and ideas so that a comprehensive histrorical documentation and futher perspectives of our industry will emerge.” –Anthony O
