Chapter 235 BBS
The development of artificial intelligence is a long process, and Li Zetian does not know how far he can develop it in his lifetime. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In any case, working in this direction will surely lead to shocking results.
In 1981, Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry was willing to invest $850 million to develop artificial intelligence computers that could talk, translate language, interpret pictures, and reason like humans.
Li Zetian can't be compared to Japan!
Although it is difficult to generate economic benefits in a short period of time for investment in cutting-edge technology, it is essential to invest in the early stage if you want to become the industry hegemon in this area.
In fact, IBM has already established an artificial intelligence laboratory, and Li Zetian's action is too late. However, because the mid-to-late 70s belonged to the cold winter of artificial intelligence, the development of artificial intelligence was relatively slow, and the orphan umbrella artificial intelligence laboratory was fully capable of catching up with them.
Just when Li Zetian set up the umbrella artificial intelligence laboratory, Apple released the iMac desk lamp all-in-one computer.
When the computer was released, it was a huge sensation.
Because of its novel and unique design, it immediately won the love of countless users.
On the day of the official launch of the iMac, the doors of Apple's flagship store were about to be crowded.
In the words of Time magazine's editor-in-chief, "It's not a computer, it's a work of art!"
Gabriel Chaplin, president of the Association for Computing Machinery, agreed, saying: "The design of the iMac is so beautiful, it's just cool, and its design alone is enough to win the highest honor in the field of industrial design in the United States, the IDEA Award!!"
At present, artificial intelligence has been hyped very hot, and the media has been reporting it. But as soon as the iMac came out, the media left the headlines for it.
Many people can't help but be amazed when they see the iMac.
"Damn, Apple actually designed such a computer, it's awesome, there is no doubt that it will definitely be popular all over the world!!"
"On the TV news, Apple's flagship store was overcrowded, and almost all of them went to buy an iMac. But I have to say that the iMac is so beautiful, even though it costs $1,200, which is more expensive than many brands of computers, I just can't help but want to buy it!
"I heard that the iMac desk lamp all-in-one computer is a Chronos· Li designed, I'll go, I think about it, except for a genius like him, who designed this kind of computer!"
"Apple has really changed dramatically, and in Chronos· Before Li didn't return, he was about to go bankrupt, and now that he looks at it, Apple is simply awesome. The CD-Walkman swept the Walkman market without a rival. At present, it seems that the iMac computer also has a monopoly on the high-end computer market! Other computer companies can only stare dryly!"
"Hehe, there's no Chronos· Li, Apple is worthless, with him, even if it is a lump of shi, it can be sold for a good price. ”
"......" a member of a computer hobby club was speechless.
"Hey man, don't talk to Chronos· Without his genius ideas and designs, Apple would have gone out of business! This reminds me of a clear quote from John Davidson Rockefeller: 'If you strip me penniless and leave me in the middle of the desert, I can rebuild the whole dynasty with a caravan passing by'. Li is also such a person, rebuilding Apple's business dynasty!!"
……
"The newspapers are praising you, why are you so calm?" Yu Jingqiu said with a smile.
Li Zetian was developing in the laboratory in the basement of his home at the moment, he raised his head and looked at Yu Jingqiu, and said with a smile: "Don't you know yet, I'm used to it." By the way, the optical fiber at home has been laid, which can connect to more than 100 prestigious schools around the world, BBS is very interesting, you can feel it. ”
"What is BBS?" Yu Jingqiu wondered.
In 1978, the earliest BBS system was developed in Chicago, USA, and after several improvements, in 1983, with the joint efforts of the ACM exchange members, the first version of the BBS system for personal computers was finally completed. Since the source program of this BBS system is all publicly available, it is used by almost all schools and research institutes. ”
"In other words, I can exchange information with the students of Harvard University through BBS!" Yu Jingqiu said with interest.
"Yes!" Li Zetian nodded.
Yu Jingqiu's curiosity was aroused, and immediately under the guidance of Li Zetian, he entered the BBS system of Harvard University, and when he looked at the information on it, many of them were related to Li Zetian.
“Chronos· Li has designed a super dick product !!"
"With the iMac, Apple is bound to regain its position as the supremacy of the personal computer!"
"On the good and bad of dropping out of school and starting a business!!"
"Who is the most successful student at Harvard over the years?"
"Imagine the future of artificial intelligence!"
“……”
==========
"Wow, it's so lively on BBS!" Yu Jingqiu said in surprise.
How much information is this also called lively?
Li Zetian shook his head, smiled, and did not speak.
Yu Jingqiu said: "BBS is really a great invention, with it, people from all over the world can communicate through it!"
Li Zetian said with a smile: "BBS is really good, but with the popularization of the Internet and the emergence of new technologies, BBS will be replaced by other things sooner or later." In the future, we will be able to know the world through the Internet while sitting at home! You can play, I will do research. ”
"Okay. ”
Yu Jingqiu, who is bored at home, is already full of interest in BBS.
……
A week after the iMac was sold, Mr. Jobs called Mr. Li to report on the sales.
“Mr· Li, iMac computers are so popular, we sold 50,000 units in this week alone!! at the same time, a large number of people poured into the flagship store, and it also greatly boosted the sales of Apple-ll and CD-Walkman......"
The Walkman has been discontinued, and the Apple-ll PC is still sold as a low-end device, but with a slight upgrade to the hardware. Apple-ll is a classic computer that has been selling well until now.
Li Zetian's face was happy, and he said a few words of persistent efforts, and then ended the call. He was very pleased with the sales of his iMac.
"The development of this computer's personal computer is really rapid, and the number of users of the personal computer is probably at least one million more than in the previous life......," Li Zetian muttered, although there is no statistics, but from Apple's own sales can also be estimated that one million is definitely just the most conservative number.
Due to the rapid development of office software such as Word, Excel, Oracle, and computer games, the demand for personal computers has surged. In addition, major enterprises have entered the personal computer market and expanded the personal computer market together, and its development momentum has far exceeded Li Zetian's imagination.
"There are a lot of personal computer users in the United States, and at present, the Galaxy Network Company has developed the "Galaxy Router", if the Internet backbone network is established and dial-up Internet service is provided, it should be very profitable!"
