Published in 1993, "Digital Survival" was written by Negroponte, the first generation of computer experts in the United States, especially with an unparalleled sense of informatization.

Liu Lang in his previous life read this book by chance when he was in college, it was already zero three years at that time, and nearly ten years have passed since the book was written, but he still didn't understand the content inside, as if he was reading a book from heaven, and ten years later, that is, one or three years, he read this book by chance at that time, and this time he finally understood the book, not that he had grown up, but that the content written in the book had appeared in front of everyone, even a primary school student knew what the Internet was.

In other words, the book is written almost twenty years ahead of this era.

Later, Liu Lang learned about the impact of this book on them in the memoirs of many of China's first generation of Internet people, and even many people really understood what the Internet is, what informatization is, and what big data is after reading this book abroad, and believed that the content written in the book will come in the future at some point, and then devote themselves to the wave of the Internet era, or be eliminated by this wave, or really become a trendsetter, and establish their own great cause.

It can be said that this book has become an enlightenment textbook for the first generation of Internet entrepreneurs in China, and has even had a profound impact on the enlightenment and development of the information age in the 20th century.

Liu Lang had written the book a year earlier with his own recollections, but it had not been given to Professor Wilson at the time.

It is now the end of 1987, and there are still six or seven years to go before the publication of this book, and in the 93 years of the previous life, computers in the United States have become very common, not to mention that every family has them, at least they have begun to be widely used, that is, in China at that time, some middle-class families were also equipped with computers, and the price of a 286 or 386 model computer was as high as 20,000 yuan, and the average family could not buy one with a year's income.

It is conceivable that the concept of digitization was new and unfamiliar in that era, not to mention that in 1987, when computers were not even popularized, this book would probably become an incomprehensible book, and no one cared about it in the corner.

But then again, in this era, in fact, in many details, the idea of the future Internet has appeared, as long as this idea is grasped and extended forward, a great era can be deduced.

Liu Lang still remembers that two years ago when he led the establishment of SMIC Technology in Shanghai, he first met that fellow countryman Wang Haijun, he studied semiconductor technology at Huaxia University, and there were some materials about foreign computers and Turing in the textbooks of '83, especially Turing, who mentioned the concept of artificial intelligence in the sixties.

Wang Haijun was very interested in Turing's research, and wrote his graduation speech when he graduated from university: The future of mankind will eventually be replaced by artificial intelligence.

To have such a deep understanding in 83 years, Wang Haijun's understanding of artificial intelligence has surpassed many Americans, but he was exposed to too little relevant knowledge in college to support his vision, and now Wang Haijun went to study in the island country to learn semiconductor technology, I believe he will give Liu Lang a big surprise after returning from studying abroad.

Turing's concept of artificial intelligence contains many prototypes of digitalization, informatization and big data, and by the 80s, many companies in the United States have entered the field of wireless communications, the most famous is Qualcomm in the United States.

This company also has some connections with Professor Wilson, and their listing evaluation was done by Professor Wilson's team, and in order to figure out what CDMA is, Liu Lang also explained to Wilson for a long time.

The future Qualcomm is the world's top enterprise in 3G and 4G technology research and development, with more than 3,000 patented technologies in the field of wireless communications, providing technology licenses to hundreds of manufacturers around the world, covering 80% of the world's telecommunications equipment and consumer electronic equipment brands.

To put it bluntly, Qualcomm's future business is to manufacture hardware for the global digital and information industry, and now the CDMA technology they are doing has matured, and in less than two years, unlimited communication in the United States will begin to popularize, even earlier than the popularization of computers, that is, China, in the early nineties, some "big money" used the brick-like "big brother" in their hands, usually used to "pretend", and it can also be used as a murder weapon at a critical time, which is really a dual-purpose machine.

It can be seen from this that even in this period of time in the eighties, the signs of digitalization and informatization have appeared, and Liu Lang is not too advanced in taking out the book "Digital Survival" at this time.

Of course, Liu Lang still made a lot of changes to this book, eliminating many theories that were too advanced.

First of all, "Digital Survival" begins by pointing out that the megatrend of the future world is to make the leap from atoms to bits.

Nature is the constituent unit of the material world, and all tangible things in the world are composed of atoms, and of course, atoms are not elementary particles in modern science, and the exposition in the book only adopts a concept that is well known to ordinary people.

Bits, on the other hand, are the constituent units of the information world, and in this era, most information is presented in the form of atoms, such as newspapers, magazines, books, videotapes, etc., which everyone has been accustomed to for thousands of years.

However, with the development of computer technology, instant electronic data transmission will become the mainstream way of information dissemination, and this new form will help information get rid of the limitations of time and space, become a global shared resource, and bring convenience to people in various fields, which will in turn promote the popularization of personal computers and the Internet.

When people are connected to each other through computer networks, geographic communities will give way to electronic communities based on shared interests or ideas, people will have digital neighbors, and this interaction will be independent of physical space, so many of the values of groups, peoples and nations will change.

The first part of the above content is a derivation process of Liu Lang's popularization of digitalization and Internet technology, which is quite logical and I believe that ordinary people can also understand it, and the content of the second part is hard goods, mainly expounding on the development of information technology hardware.

The U.S. computer science community is also home to programming languages, operating systems, and network communication protocols

Liu Lang believes that computer research at that time should have focused entirely on "how to make computers easier for people to use", as long as this point is done well, then the enterprise will definitely stand tall in ten years, but it is only ten years, and the form will be very different in ten years.

At that time, because of the effect of Moore's Law, the function of computer chips far exceeds the present, and the unimaginable work of this era will be easily realized in that era, and the focus of computer research has also changed, no longer "how to make computers easier for people to use", but "how to make computers easier to get along with people", which is now one of the computer development strategies proposed by Liu Lang to VIE Company.
