Technology Bigshot Chapter 287: : Warning]

The news about the birth of quantum computers spread overwhelmingly in the scientific community, the technology circle, and the world Internet. The bigwigs in the technology circle and the industry leaders also jumped out to "spit" one after another. "Collective dispatch" is also a big sensation on the Internet. Driven by the celebrity effect, it is the core of the Internet, that is, how could the public lose their shadow under this "grand occasion".

There are many people who are concerned about the birth of quantum computers, but more people are gathered under the banners of those world giants.

"Haha, there is reason and evidence, the facts are in front of you, there seems to be no reason to believe it! The market value of 800 billion US dollars, my God!! Zuckerberg estimates that he will wake up laughing from his dreams now!"

"No no! You're wrong, that should be Jeff Bezos and Amazon, look at Bezos's emotionally magical tweet, even though the entire sentence is made up of one word at the same time , but the connotation is super rich!!!"

"Agreed, but am I the only one who thinks that way? I think Jeff now regrets why he only invested $30 million in d-wave? Why not $300 million? No! Why not just buy it Download d-wave~!!!”

"Hey, almost all the tech giants have joined this luxurious lunch, why is Gates silent? This is unscientific!"

"When did Page become so funny?"

……

Driven by a series of various effects, the Internet news during this period was "tragically" swiped by quantum computers, and it seemed to become the object of attention of the whole people. From these reactions, it can also explain the impact of this scientific and technological progress on the whole world. The birth of quantum computer has no less influence on the whole human beings than the birth of the world's first electronic computer "Eniac".

However, in the context of today's era, the speed of news dissemination is far from the era in which "Eniak" lived in the last century. As a result, once this invention that affects all human civilization appears, it will cause a sensation in the whole world. In almost a day, more than two-thirds of internet users and more than 2.7 billion people got the news on the same day.

The fluidity of information in the age of Internet sharing is once again evident.

……

In a certain area of ​​California, United States, a room with black and white colors is very simple and pleasing to the eye. An old man is sitting in front of the computer without saying a word. The room is slightly dark. At this moment local time is into the night.

The old man's face is covered with snow-white beards and white hair. He is over 70 years old. According to ten years ago, this age was regarded as the end of life, but in today's era, 70 years old Humans are only halfway through life.

"It's time for bed! Kevin!" A voice resounded in the quiet room.

"I will go to rest soon! You should rest too." The old man in front of the computer said with a vicissitudes of life.

This old man's name is Kevin Kelly. For this name, if a person considers himself a Silicon Valley person, if he does not know this name, he will be a Silicon Valley person.

Kevin Kelly is the founding editor-in-chief of Wired, a well-known American magazine, and he even has the title of "prophet". He has successfully predicted many Internet trends and megatrends in his book. Kevin Kelly made predictions at the end of the last century for the trends and concepts for the next two or three decades. Over time, until Today, his predictions have all come true, such as big data, cloud computing, 3D printing, blogging, screen reading, wikis, and the rise of Internet public wisdom.

Kevin Kelly is also known as the "Father of the Silicon Valley Spirit" and the "Godfather of the World Internet", well deserved.

However, when the "Godfather of Silicon Valley" at this moment looks at the computer screen, his face is solemn. In fact, he has not had many smiles in recent years.

He is paying attention to the latest news in the world at the moment. There is no doubt that the news he is browsing at the moment is about the quantum computer that has been "swiping" on the Internet recently. Just as the outside world was celebrating the entry of mankind into the quantum computer era, when Kevin Kelly heard the news, his face was not excited, not even joyful, but solemn.

He sat quietly in front of the computer, closed his eyes and thought, meditated for ten minutes, then slowly opened his eyes and took out a pair of glasses from the drawer. He could never need glasses again, but he did not choose to accept the "copy" "Technology" treatment to put yourself in a pair of healthy eyes.

After putting on the glasses, the sound of the keyboard gradually sounded, and each word formed a sentence, a paragraph, until it finally became a complete article...

"The news I saw today kept me awake at night, so late at night I was supposed to fall asleep and have a good dream, and I'm actually writing this, maybe you've guessed that the news I'm talking about is about What's up. d-wave and xlous have jointly built the first quantum computer in human history, which should be a moment of celebration for all mankind, and it is.

But when I heard the news, I suddenly felt a suppressed emotion. I tried to imagine the future, but I was greeted with suffocating depression and fear.

In the past ten years until now, technology has advanced too fast, really fast.

It is facing a crisis of out of control, and the development of technology is gradually facing a trend of out of control.

On the contrary, I strongly encourage everyone to embrace the big wave of technology. I think that whether it is a national government, an enterprise organization or an individual, it should embrace the general trend of science and technology in this era, rather than resist, resist or even prohibit the development of science and technology. There is no doubt that this is anti-human.

Under today's technology trend, subversive revolutions will take place in all walks of life, and they are all around us, right now. Specifically, you can refer to xlous as an example. And these disruptors do not come from the industry itself, such as the following examples that happened around me and in the near future: the disruption of the translation industry a few years ago did not come from the translation industry itself, smart homes and wearable smart devices and smartphones. The industry itself, as well as the medical industry, the entertainment industry, etc., all of which we experience personally are not from the industry itself, but new challengers to redefine the industry.

The most typical example of a challenger is xlous. I think everyone is familiar with this company. He has redefined the translation industry, the film industry, the mobile phone industry, the medical system and so on.

Some newly born technologies have become trends and trends. During this process, while we embrace the tide of technology, we will also feel anxiety and panic, such as artificial intelligence and robots, and the advent of the era of screen reading has redefined reading , the disappearance of paper books and the gradual disappearance of these things will make people feel panic, but we must finally embrace all of them, because all of these are big trends, big trends, and they are unstoppable. Any attempt to go against the flow And all the above will be devastated by the impact of the big wave. "

(ps: As a digression, do you see that the book lovers here have some longing for the future? Or are they a little scared? Of course, the reality is not as exaggerated as the book, but fortunately it is not as exaggerated as the book.) (To be continued.)
