The Internet age is coming!

After hearing Ni Guangnan's words just now, Wu Xiaozheng's first reaction was like this.

In his previous life, Wu Xiaozheng had basically no connection with the computer industry, so he did not know the specific history of the development of the Internet in China.

But he is sure that once China starts to connect to the Internet, this part of the development will be in the fast lane.

He still remembers that by about 96 years, there would be a company called Yinghaiwei and the like, which would become famous all over the country, and then soon Sina, NetEase, Sohu, Tencent and the like would appear, and soon become a well-known company listed on the NASDAQ.

After that, there were later giants such as Baidu and Alibaba.

Wu Xiaozheng still remembers that the first time he used QQ, it seems to be around 99.

……

The Internet era is really coming, but Wu Xiaozheng didn't expect it to come so quickly, which made him immediately have a slight sense of urgency.

To be honest, if he doesn't have much idea or pursuit in this area, he doesn't need to be too anxious, because around 2000, there will be a very famous sentence in the field of Internet applications: the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.

This refers to the earliest batch of companies involved in Internet applications, including Yinghaiwei and the famous 8848, which eventually fell on the beach as pathfinders, but some websites behind slowly explored some new ways on the basis of the previous waves, and gradually developed and expanded.

Therefore, if Wu Xiaozheng is more secure, he can not start to start until three or four years later.

But Wu Xiaozheng didn't want to do this.

You know, his goal in the field of the Internet is too big, and he wants to take all the businesses that make money in the future.

Therefore, he had to prepare early, especially in terms of technology, and when the time came, he had to launch the right application.

With that, now is the time to get involved in this field.

But the problem also came.

By the beginning of next month, although China will have the first dedicated line to access the Internet, it will only be a trial of the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which will have a certain time lag between China's official access to the Internet.

This means that it is likely that within a year, the conditions for Internet access will not be available in China.

I can't even go online, so how can Wu Xiaozheng ask Zhu Linan to make technical reserves? I can't even build the most basic test environment!

Wu Xiaozheng immediately realized that if you want to get involved in the Internet now, you must first make reserves and attempts abroad, you know, in the development of the Internet, Europe and the United States are several years ahead of China, in the beginning, many applications are first out of foreign countries, and then China imitates.

In this way, Wu Xiaozheng's trip abroad should be accelerated.

In the application of the Internet, the technical aspect is not very difficult, the important thing is the direction of application development.

As a reborn person, if Wu Xiaozheng doesn't make full use of the experience of his previous life to personally grasp the direction of application development, wouldn't it be a serious waste?

Alas, time is running out!

Wu Xiaozheng doesn't know that there are some very important applications, will anyone else be working on them abroad?

Like Yahoo or something?

The Internet era has indeed arrived, and 1993 will be a crucial year in the history of the Internet.

This year, the National Supercomputer Application Center at the University of Illinois in Illinois, USA, is testing a browser called Mosaic, which has received a lot of popularity, although it is still only in the testing stage.

Everyone found that with this browser, it has become much more convenient and easier for everyone to surf the Internet.

If Wu Xiaozheng was reborn as a computer professional, he would definitely know that this browser called Mosaic was the famous Netscape browser later.

In the next few years, Netscape will also have a life-and-death battle with Microsoft's IE browser launched later, and Netscape Browser also failed because of the battle, which eventually led to the dissolution of Netscape, a company with a market value of tens of billions.

At this time, Wu Xiaozheng did not know that the Mosaic browser had been launched, which meant the advent of the era of Internet surfing.

But someone knows.

At Stanford University in the United States, there is a Chinese student named Yang Zhiyuan.

In the eyes of those who are familiar with him, Yang Zhiyuan, who is active and sociable, is not diligent in learning, and even a little lazy, but he has a strange hobby, that is, he likes to surf the Internet, and has been holding the computer almost every day to soak on the Internet recently.

Yang Zhiyuan is now surfing the Internet using the Mosaic browser.

However, he felt that it was still a bit inconvenient to surf the Internet.

Because of the increasing number of new websites, keeping a domain name can become a hassle.

In order to find information more easily, he had to prepare a notebook to write down the numerous domain names.

But then he found that as he wrote down more and more domain names, it became a hassle for him to find the domain name he wanted.

As a last resort, he reorganized the domains, categorized them by category, and put prominent labels on his notebook.

He wondered if it would be possible to have a website that would collect all the domain names and show them to other surfers.

That seems like a good idea!

Yang Zhiyuan came up with the idea of building his own website.

At the same time, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, there was an international student from China named Zhang Chaoyang, who also became a surfing enthusiast at this time.

It's just that he was preparing his doctoral dissertation, and the purpose of surfing the Internet was just to find the information he wanted.

At this time, he did not expect that the Internet would completely change his life and career in the future.

……

It can be said that on the other side of the ocean, the advent of Mosaic browser has affected many, many young people, especially those who are in school, have time and ideas, and pursue new trends.

A few years later, some of these young people soon stood out because of their unique ideas, slowly established their own businesses, and soon became the envy of many practitioners in traditional industries.

These people, who later had a proper term, called Internet upstarts.

Among them, Yang Zhiyuan and Zhang Chaoyang, who are now surfing.

TWO YEARS LATER, YAHOO, FOUNDED BY YANG, WILL BE LAUNCHED, AND WILL EVENTUALLY GROW INTO AN INTERNET COMPANY WITH HUGE INFLUENCE IN THE WORLD.

Four years later, Zhang Chaoyang will return to China and found the famous Sohu.com.

For the current Wu Xiaozheng, he has lagged behind in surfing the Internet.
