Xu Qing looked at the exquisite breakfast on the table with some blankness.

Crystal shrimp dumplings that are as clear as snow, glutinous rice chicken wrapped in gray-brown lotus leaves, exuding a faint fragrance of lotus leaves, and burnt yellow with a little pure white ginger hitting milk, shimmering with seductive light.

Xu Qing, who lives in eastern Guangdong Province of China, is very familiar with these three Cantonese breakfasts.

But Xu Qing's location at this moment is on the other side of the ocean, in the United States, California, San Francisco, Palo Alto City, and 6 kilometers away from the entrance of Stanford University.

The current date is March 5, 1993.

Yesterday he opened his eyes on a soft carpet and saw a "hunchbacked" computer in the luxuriously decorated villa room, and saw a handsome and charming face in the mirror.

Xu Qing knew that he was reborn, and then a huge memory flooded into his mind, Xu Qing, is his current name.

He has just turned 18 years old, is a Chinese-American American, his ancestral home is in eastern Guangdong Province, and his family property is rich, and the entire Xu family has at least 400 million US dollars, and 400 million US dollars in 1993 is far more valuable than the US dollars in later generations.

Xu Qing's grandparents and parents are still alive, and he is the only heir of the Xu family, so he has been infinitely doted on by his elders and has become a gentleman.

Smoking, fighting, and attending all sorts of undisciplined parties are his daily behaviors.

"Ah Qing, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?" The middle-aged woman standing next to the dining table saw Xu Qing's appearance and hurriedly asked.

Xu Qing withdrew from the daze, raised her head and saw the middle-aged woman's concerned eyes, and said with a smile:

"Aunt Wu, I'm fine, my brain is still a little confused when I get up, and when I eat these you made early, my whole body will be full of strength immediately. ”

Aunt Wu, who came to the United States with his grandparents more than 30 years ago, has a very good relationship with everyone in the Xu family, although she is a servant, she is the same as her relatives.

"You kid, you will make me happy, and I won't get tired of eating it for more than ten years. Aunt Wu heard Xu Qing's praise and said with a smile.

"Aunt Wu's cooking skills, I won't get tired of eating for a hundred years. ”

Xu Qing naturally praised Aunt Wu, this is what his previous body did every day, affected by inertia, now he does it very smoothly, and there is no discomfort.

Aunt Wu joked with Xu Qing for a few words, and then left the restaurant, where she ate at another place.

This is also a very helpless thing for the Xu family, Aunt Wu stubbornly believes that the maid and the main family cannot eat at the same table, Xu Qing's grandparents persuaded her countless times to let her eat at the same table, but Aunt Wu resolutely disagreed.

Xu Qing ate breakfast, returned to the bedroom on the second floor, sat on the soft sofa chair, pressed the round button of the Compaq486 computer host, and the 17-inch monitor slowly appeared Windows 3.1 icon.

After a few minutes, Windows 3.1 was fully turned on, and the desktop was monotonous, with no start menu, no taskbar, and only a few software icons, like sketches.

Later generations are accustomed to seeing the various functions and colorful pictures of the Windows system, and now they suddenly see the extremely simple Windows3.1, Xu Qing feels very awkward.

This was the world in 1993.

In 1993, Microsoft was not yet the Microsoft dynasty that dominated the computer world in later generations, and in another two years, Microsoft would release the cornerstone of its dynasty, Windows 95.

Since then, Microsoft has soared, the company's market value has been the highest in the world for a very long time, and its founder, Bill Gates, has become the richest man in the world.

In 1993, Apple, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was driven out of its spiritual totem for eight years.

After 4 years, Steve Jobs will come back, and Apple will also go from a bald chicken to a phoenix, soaring all the way to eventually become a more powerful company than Microsoft.

In 1993, the Internet was not yet popular, and the total number of Internet users in the world was only tens of millions, which was very pitiful compared to the billions of Internet users in later generations.

In 1993, Google, which was worth more than $600 billion and had not yet appeared, was building a programmable drawing inkjet printer from Lego bricks at the University of Michigan.

In 1993, Facebook, with a market value of more than $400 billion, had not yet appeared, and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, was still a young and innocent person.

In 1993, Amazon, with a market value of more than $400 billion, had not yet appeared, and its founder, the bald uncle Jeff Bezos, still had some remnants of hair, which was very flowy.

This is the best era, Microsoft has not yet monopolized, Apple has not yet risen, Google, Amazon, Facebook have not yet been born, the Internet and mobile phone industries are still a blue ocean, and those who are the first to enter these industries have made a lot of money.

This is also the worst of times, the competition has never been so fierce as it is now, and if you are not careful, you may already be far behind your competitors, and then you will be eliminated by the times.

Just like the once-glorious Sun Company, which once reached a market value of more than $200 billion, almost bought Apple, but it only took a year for this huge company to decline.

Xu Qing shook his head, discarded the distractions in his mind, and opened the American online service software, now the main way to access the Internet is online service software, and computer browsers are not yet popular.

There is very little content in American Online, the vast majority of which is text-only content, and there are some very low-resolution images, like mosaics, and none of the video content.

The layout of the website makes Xu Qing very uncomfortable, the dense letters are piled up together, very messy, and the current website has no professional aesthetic concept, just go online.

Xu Qing was a little bored dragging the mouse, lacking content, messy typography, and monotonous colors.

If he saw such a website in the future, he would immediately click on a × in the upper right corner, but the current website is like this.

One headline read, "Presidents of 13 major computer companies in the United States call for an open Internet." The news entered Xu Qing's eyes.

The content reads that these CEOs are proposing a broadband digital network that will make it accessible to companies and people across the United States.

In recent years, the Internet in the United States has been expanding day by day, which has attracted the attention of many enterprises, who are optimistic about the development potential of the Internet and want to enter this nascent industry.

But the Internet is not yet fully open, and there are many restrictions on doing business on the Internet.

So some companies are calling for an open internet so that they can benefit from the industry.

The calls of these companies have not been in vain, and this year the United States will officially launch the information superhighway program.

The information superhighway plan has accelerated the development of the Internet, and the world is about to enter the Internet era.

The ferocious wave of the Internet will hit every country, every industry, every person, and every corner.

This is a magnificent era!
