Facebook announced they're acquiring Oculus Rift, a virtual reality platform, for $2 billion.
Facebook宣布斥資20億美元收購虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)廠商Oculus Rift。
Yes, the social network is buying a VR helmet-maker.
是的沒錯(cuò)，社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)巨頭Facebook收購的是一家虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)頭盔生產(chǎn)商。
The dominant reaction to the move could be summed up in three letters: WTF.
這一壓倒性收購行動(dòng)可以用三個(gè)字母總結(jié)：看未來(WTF：Watch The Future)。
We see the acquisition of a piece with recent moves by other technology companies. Google bought Nest, a home automation/robotics company, and a passel of robotics companies. Apple is negotiating with Comcast about building out a TV service on the cable company's pipes. And Facebook itself recently has supposedly been in talks to buy a drone maker.
最近其他科技公司的收購行動(dòng)也引起我們的注目，Google收購了家庭自動(dòng)化/機(jī)器人生產(chǎn)公司Nest，以及一批其他的機(jī)器人公司;蘋果公司正在和康卡斯特(美國的有線系統(tǒng)公司)協(xié)商，意欲借該有線電視公司的通道開啟電視服務(wù);Facebook最近有可能發(fā)起商談以收購無人機(jī)制造商Titan。
What do they all have in common?
這些收購有什么共同之處呢?
All these moves are about technology companies looking to create businesses off the computer/mobile screen. In a world where smartphone sales growth is going to level off soon, where social networking growth has already slowed, where everyone already uses Google ... where do companies go to continue the revenue growth that is baked into their current share prices?
所有這些收購案例中，科技公司都在尋求涉足非電子/移動(dòng)領(lǐng)域?，F(xiàn)狀是智能手機(jī)銷售增長趨于平穩(wěn)、社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)用戶增長緩慢、Google搜索引擎也已經(jīng)人人在用了，各大公司如何繼續(xù)保持收益增長、維持股票價(jià)格呢?
Maybe they go after a share of TV money, or bet on the Internet of Things, or get in early with the explosion of consumer robotics.
通過分割電視收益、押注物聯(lián)網(wǎng)、或者搶先進(jìn)入暫未火爆的機(jī)器人消費(fèi)市場，他們也許能達(dá)到自己的目標(biāo)。
These massively valuable companies need to grab some land in whatever big technology wave comes next. And they are starting to buy where they think the fertile territory is.
這些市值巨大的公司需要抓住科技領(lǐng)域先機(jī)。所以他們開始收購本公司認(rèn)為有前景的公司。
