????知名科技博客Gigaom此前突然宣布關閉，令一眾忠實讀者和才華橫溢的記者深感意外。不過，對《財富》雜志和我們的讀者而言，這成了一場機遇。

????Gigaom的記者一直是科技報道的領軍人物，在他們筆下，科技正改變全球商業的各種基礎，從移動云計算、大數據和機器學習、傳感器與智能制造、清潔能源技術到先進機器人和無人機……各種技術革新引領我們奔向新一輪工業革命。懂行的企業領袖深知，必須了解這些新技術將如何變革他們所在的行業，否則就只能等著先參透其中奧妙的人顛覆他們的商業模式。

????而我之所以如此激動，是因為Gigaom網站的核心成員——六位最出色的行業資深記者已經加盟《財富》雜志。

????在此，我要向新同事斯泰西?希金博瑟姆、馬休?英格雷姆、巴布?達羅、凱蒂?費倫巴赫爾、杰夫?羅伯茨和喬納森?凡尼亞表示熱烈歡迎。助理執行主輯亞當?拉辛斯基領導下的科技報道團隊一直表現優異，如今力量進一步壯大了。（實際上，新同事的工作已經開始了，本期雜志上，斯泰西貢獻了一篇“數據區塊鏈”相關報道。）

????長期以來，科技版塊一直是《財富》報道的重心。可我們越來越深刻地意識到，這場革命并非僅限于科技業，而是對各行各業都有影響。不僅首席信息官和首席科技官應關注科技變革，每位努力把企業做好的管理者也應密切關心，無論身處哪個行業，無論職位高低。

????在這個風起云涌的新科技時代，很榮幸讀者選擇《財富》作為向導。正是這種動力，推動我們的數字化業務快速增長，紙媒雜志贏獲業內殊榮，會議業務獨樹一幟并不斷夸大。學無止境，希望在這段旅途中能繼續與你同行。（財富中文網）

????The collapse of the respected tech website Giga?om was an unfortunate surprise for its devoted readers and talented journalists. But for Fortune and our readers, it has turned into an opportunity.

????The Gigaom journalists have been leaders in covering the technologies that are transforming the very foundations of global business—cloud and mobile computing; big data and machine learning; sensors and intelligent manufacturing; advanced robotics and drones; and clean-energy technologies. Together these innovations are hurtling us ?toward a new industrial revolution. Savvy corporate leaders know that they have to either figure out how these technologies will transform their businesses or face disruption by others who figure it out first.

????That’s why I am thrilled that we are bringing the very best of what Gigaom had to offer—six of that site’s finest and most plugged-in reporters—into the Fortune fold.

????I am pleased to welcome Stacey Higginbotham, Mathew Ingram, Barb Darrow, Katie Fehrenbacher, Jeff John Roberts, and Jonathan Vanian into our already prodigious team of tech journalists, led by assistant managing editor Adam Lashinsky. (Stacey kicks things off this issue with a story on “block chain” tech.)

????Technology coverage has long been a focus of Fortune’sjournalism. But increasingly we recognize that this revolution is not just about the technology industry—but about every industry. And it is not just the concern of the chief information officer and the chief technology officer; it is the concern of every executive in every job in every industry who is focused on business success.

????Fortune is honored to be your guide through these tumultuous technological times. This is the motivating spirit that guides our fast-growing digital efforts, our award-winning print magazine, and our distinguished and expanding conferences. We hope you’ll continue to join us on the journey. We all have a lot to learn.
