The first Global Internet Conference was held in the auditorium of the University of Texas at Austin. After a brief but enthusiastic opening ceremony, one of the highlights of the first day of the conference, Li Xuan will give his first speech as a special guest at the main venue.

"After the steam engine and electricity, the third technological revolution is coming! What is a revolution? China's Mao said that revolution is not a dinner party, but a class overthrow a class riot!

The French apparently agree with this view, having guillotined Louis XVI 100 years before Mao was born.

Li Xuan's first impression on many people who have come into contact with him is not bad, he is always so gentle and approachable. Especially with the dramatic increase in personal wealth, there seem to be fewer and fewer things that can really make him pull down his face and be annoyed.

But today, Li Xuan gave the audience a different feeling from the past. The serious face, the slightly cold voice, and the opening words that are precious, all give people an invisible sense of oppression!

How could it be that scientific and technological progress, which is said to be the gospel of all mankind, suddenly became associated with the barbaric and gruesome guillotine? There was silence at the venue, and many listeners even frowned slightly. On the contrary, the reporters in the interview area suddenly had their eyes lit up, and they had a sense of excitement to make a big news!

Li Xuan took in the expressions of everyone in the audience and continued: "Some people may think that my first few words are grandstanding, because I am going to imagine how fast, convenient and beautiful our lives will be in the Internet era ten years later!"

Okay, now let me take a journey back in time, to 2010, ten years later, and spend a very ordinary hour with a Chinese teenager named Li living in Houston's Chinatown!"

With Li Xuan's sudden change from cold to bright tone, everyone seemed to be able to really penetrate time and space and see the world ten years later. And behind Li Xuan, a huge projection screen suddenly appeared at some point. The lights of the entire venue were dimmed, and a beam of light hit the white curtain.

This is a cartoon of a teenager who bears a slight resemblance to Li Xuan, sitting in front of a computer and typing on the keyboard. And some viewers who observe nuanced details may even have a little doubt from the details of the comics.

Because the display of this computer is as thin as paper, it doesn't look like today's computer display at all! Is this the new technology in ten years?

There was a professor from the University of Austin at the scene, and his brow was much deeper than the average person's. Judging from the patent layout of the Oriental Research Institute in the field of liquid crystal in recent years, he has no doubt that in the world ten years from now, the liquid crystal display will replace the current mainstream CRT display.

Thinking of this, the professor's frown couldn't help but stretch, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Because he became even more interested in this speech! Just by a small detail of the first cartoon, you can see that the speech of the legendary richest man on stage is not a whimsical nonsense.

His speech is likely to be a reasonable speculation of the Oriental Research Institute's development level of the global IT industry in ten years! This is of extremely high reference value to the entire IT industry!

The man, surnamed Lee, has just returned home from school and is recently facing a big decision in his life – which university should he apply to?

Harvard or Yale?

Well, as a nationally recognized learning monster - Chinese, his GPA score must be enough!"

Li Xuan said in a slightly self-deprecating tone, and the venue let out a chuckle very cooperatively. This is the stereotype that Americans have of Asians, especially Chinese, who have excellent test scores but poor athletics and arts.

At this moment, the image on the projection screen flashed, as if the camera in a movie was slowly approaching from a distance, and finally froze on the computer's display.

"He and all his friends are die-hard fans of the Cowboys, how can they run to the territory of the New England Patriots, this is a betrayal of their own beliefs!"

"Wow!"

Several enthusiastic students in the venue even whistled, obviously agreeing with Li Xuan's point of view. Both the Patriots and the Cowboys are the top teams in the NFL. Every season, the showdown between the Cowboys and the Patriots can be called the national derby in the United States! So ridiculing the Patriots in Texas is definitely the greatest political correctness!

For the sake of his beliefs, the teenager did not hesitate to pass the Ivy, well, then I can only choose the public Ivy! UCLA is not bad, Los Angeles is not only sunny all day long, but also meets Hollywood beauties!

But...... California's public universities don't offer tuition discounts to Texas students, and the cost of Los Angeles is too high! Eventually, the teenager resisted the temptation of Hollywood babes and silently opened the UCAUSTIN website!

The campus at Austin opened its official website a few years ago, and it certainly hasn't closed down ten years later. And in addition to the school profile on the official website, there are many new features. For example, you can directly download all kinds of forms required to apply to the University of Austin! You don't have to worry about missing out on your dream university because your resume is not standardized!"

The speed of the slides suddenly increased, but there was a strong sense of familiarity among the people present. The content of these comics is fantasy, the web content of the official website of the University of Austin ten years later. Since it was an Internet conference, there was hardly anyone present who would not use AOL's "Navigator" browser. The browser used by the teenager in the comics is generally similar to that of the "Navigator".

It's just that this browser in the comics is obviously much more refined in detail than the "Navigator 3.0" that everyone is using now. But many of the people present are Internet experts, and it's impossible not to understand the importance of browsers to the Internet.

Many have even delved into the Navigator browser and have even developed similar browsers themselves. It's just that in the face of the overwhelming market share of "Navigator" and the continuous innovation of new function optimization, it has not been able to make much splash!

And everyone's judgment is obviously not wrong, the last of this series of cartoons finally gives a close-up of the browser icon. There was a good-natured chuckle in the room, as it turned out to be "Navigator 13" in the comics.

In the next ten years, if AOL does a major version update every year, wouldn't it be "Navigator 13" in ten years?

Li Xuan's narration continued.

Although the teenager decided to take the University of Austin as his number one target, he was still very new to the university and wanted to know more about it!

The teenager soon posted a new request for help on the Quora website: 'What is it like to go to college at UT-Austin?'

He couldn't get a call for help, but it was impossible for anyone else to answer it in a matter of seconds, so he decided to do something else first, like talk to a friend. In the baseball game in the afternoon, he hit the last goodbye, and he was really handsome!

So the boy boarded an online messaging app called ICQ, and he couldn't wait to show off his wonderful performance to his friends who weren't watching the game......"
