Chapter 334: Don't talk about people behind your back
"IT, the future belongs to the IT era, people's lives will change because of IT, each of us will be inseparable from IT, IT will enter every corner of our lives, especially when IT and the Internet are combined, our lives will change dramatically because of IT. Qin Feng recounted some things that would happen in the future.
For example, Qin Feng said that in the future, he will work from home and will do everything through the computer. Of course, Qin Feng didn't say anything more. For example, the Internet will be so integrated into every corner of life that no one can leave.
If these words were to be spoken, Professor Venn would probably be shocked, and even think that Qin Feng was a monster.
"Yes, yes, you're really good. You can have such a forward-looking view, Fang, you are not as good as your student. By the way, do you know about blockchain and distributed ledgers? This is a topic that I've been working on with my students recently!" said Professor Wayne.
Blockchain and distributed ledger? Qin Feng thought about it, this English word is a bit tongue-twisting. It is a very professional English word, which ordinary people can't understand at all.
Qin Feng is also currently learning IT, so he knows this word.
In simple terms, this is a shared, distributed database, which means that each participant in the network independently saves and maintains a synchronous copy of the database.
A distributed ledger is nothing but an infinite record of transactions processed in a network. The record is shared with all participants in the network, who are often synchronized with each other. This ensures that all participants keep the same copy of the record.
New transactions are validated by leveraging the record history of all transactions. Because all participants keep the same copy of the ledger, the entire network can easily detect operational attempts without relying on a single trusted central authority.
Qin Feng explained according to a vague concept in his mind.
In the middle, there were naturally some mistakes, but Professor Wayne did not point them out, but listened to Qin Feng's understanding. What he wants to know is how much Qin Feng understands this, not how much Qin Feng understands and whether there are mistakes.
If Qin Feng understands everything and is not wrong at all, then do you still need to come to him to learn? Then you don't need it!
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to have a very good understanding of the subject I am studying. I think you should come to our school right away. I will be able to send you an invitation letter right away and I will help you apply for a full scholarship. Qin, don't stay in Tsinghua anymore, although Tsinghua is also a famous school, but compared to the world, compared to our Reed College, it is still too bad!" Professor Vane immediately sent out an invitation.
Professor Fang was stunned. At the beginning, through various efforts, he barely won half of the scholarship. Unexpectedly, Qin Feng chatted with him, and he directly won a full scholarship, and directly followed Professor Wayne to do research, which was too good.
"Professor Wayne, can I think about it!" Qin Feng said.
"Qin Feng, what do you want! Coming here to do research is far better than studying in China!" Professor Fang was anxious, what a good opportunity this is.
"Fang, don't speak. Qin, why don't you want to? Can you tell me your reason?" Vane asked.
"Because I still want to study more in China. Also, I'm very young, I'm not even 15 years old, and I want to come back to research in two years. Qin Feng said very bluntly, "I am also a student at the Huaxia Jingcheng Conservatory of Music, and I am the best student." I can't just walk away. ”
"What? You're still a student at the conservatory? God, a musician who learns IT, and knows it so well, is better than many of my students. They've learned from dogs!" exclaimed Professor Wayne.
IT and music, that's not going to go well at all. Between the two sides, there are too many gaps. It's incredible.
"Qin, I'm more interested in you. Still, I respect your ideas, and I'll give you time to think about it. Before you leave the U.S., I hope you will be able to tell me about your decision. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Fang, take Qin to the academy and let him feel the academic atmosphere of Reed College!" Professor Vane got up and left.
After Qin Feng and Professor Fang sent Professor Wayne away, Professor Fang sighed again and again.
"Qin, do you know how good this treatment is? You are still thinking about it, you should agree to it immediately!" Professor Fang complained again and again, "Such a good opportunity, do you know that the entire Reed College, no, how many people in the United States dream of it? The tuition fee of Reed College is at the same level as Stanford University, and Professor Wayne is willing to take you to study in person." Oh my God, you're hesitating!"
"Professor Fang, don't be so excited. Didn't Professor Vane refuse!Besides, I really can't leave!" Qin Feng shrugged.
"Then you should say yes too. And then I said I would wait two years. You still think about it!" Professor Fang complained.
"Although Reed College is good, maybe Stanford, Berkeley, and Pennsylvania will invite me in the future?" Qin Feng smiled, "These schools are no worse than Reed College!"
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that this was the only place where Jobs went to college for half a year, Qin Feng would really not be uncommon.
Professor Fang was speechless. This kid, well, he's a genius, so he has this qualification.
Subsequently, Qin Feng followed Professor Fang and walked around Reed College, and easily found Jobs' name and introduction on the alumni list.
"Steve Jobs? Have you heard of him? His Apple is good, but unfortunately, it's a bit out of place in this open world. Apple's system is too closed and too conservative. In particular, Jobs was a very arrogant paranoid, so he was driven away by Apple. However, he was able to create Apple from scratch, but he is also legendary. Professor Fang was obviously a little unhappy that Qin Feng was paying attention to Jobs.
There is a bit of slander in these words.
"That's because Apple's board of directors is stupid. They got rid of Steve, and now they're about to go out of business. They're just a bunch of idiots. A voice came from behind the two of them.
The two turned around, and it was a blonde beauty.
"But one thing you're right, he's an arrogant paranoid!" The blonde beauty also made up for Jobs.
Both of them were stunned.
"Hello, I'm Fang, and I used to be a student at Reed College. Professor Fang introduced himself and said.
"Your assessment is very biased, although he is an arrogant paranoid, but he also has his personality. And he's smart and forward-looking. The blonde beauty didn't introduce herself, she just accused Professor Fang of not.
"Can you understand our words?" Qin Feng was keenly aware of this.
"I can understand a little, but I won't speak!" The blonde beauty looked at Qin Feng, "What do you think of Steve Jobs?"
