Chapter 42: I'm tired
Soon after the Oranges I computer was released, Li Yixuan put the Oranges I in the sales store on Chung Ying Street, but at this time, the mainland's consumption power was not strong, and none of the five computers were sold for more than ten days.
But Li Yixuan is not worried that as time goes by, Oranges I will open one day.
What really worries Li Yixuan is that the mainland will ban the Oranges I computer one day, after all, the motherboard of the Oranges I is developed on the basis of the structure of the FC game console, and the game ability is very strong. This is very different from Apple's Apple II and IBM's PC commercial computers.
Therefore, his fears are not unfounded.
After the reform, the biggest obstacle to the development of the game industry in the mainland is not the problem of piracy, but parents and educational institutions.
Many parents and leaders of the Ministry of Education, under the slogan of thinking about students' grades, demonize and target any factors that may affect learning – martial arts novels, comics, games, music tapes, video tapes, PC games, online games, ...... Popular entertainment in all eras has experienced a process of fierce confrontation with parents and educational institutions.
Earlier, they even wanted to ban the TV. Their suppression of all forms of entertainment is in the name of a high-sounding one – academic performance!
I never thought about why my child was like this. How much time has you not spent with your children?
As everyone knows, the development of the electronics industry is based on the disdainful entertainment in your eyes, and finally develops and grows.
Although the new industries that have been suppressed have disadvantages such as affecting students' learning, they also have more positive significance, because the emerging electronics industry has promoted the popularization of new technologies, as well as stimulated more new jobs and increased incremental GDP!
Parents and educational institutions, for the sake of their children's future, suppress all kinds of emerging entertainment industries, which is as ignorant and ridiculous as the ancient agricultural civilization to suppress industry and commerce.
The ancients believed that if they were all engaged in business and became craftsmen, they would affect agricultural output, so they had tied people to the land for thousands of years and had been engaged in a small-scale peasant economy.
At the same time, the industrial revolution in the West drove people from the fields to the cities, and no matter how much you resisted, it forced people to engage in industry. This is because the increase in industrial production, rather than the stock that existed thousands of years ago, has greatly enhanced the productivity of Western countries.
In fact, urbanization and industrialization have reduced the number of farmers, but it has not affected agricultural output. Originally, there were several acres of land per capita, and the peasants' lives were very difficult. However, by diverting the population into nascent industries, it is not only those who work in industry that can reap new benefits. Even people who continue to engage in traditional agriculture will benefit from an increase in farmland cultivated per capita.
Similarly, the development of the game industry can stimulate technological progress in semiconductors, software and other industries, and can also divert employment to new industries. On the basis of not affecting the production of old industries, the output of new industries has been opened, which naturally brings incremental output to society.
In addition, there is another question that has to be paid attention to, that is, how did computers popularize into families, and how did computers become essential items in families like refrigerators, color TVs, and air conditioners?
You must know that in the early stage of computer development, computers were mainly used in the military industry. For example, the world's first electronic computer, ENIAC, was used to calculate the ballistics of naval guns.
Later, it began to spread to research institutes and enterprises.
For families, if it is used for family financial management, they can use tools such as calculators or even abacus, and the use of computers is completely over-performance and cannot be used at all.
But it just entered thousands of households in this way, relying on what it relied on? Relying on entertainment. From ancient times to the present, in addition to the most material life, people also seek the most spiritual life, and spiritual life is entertainment.
If there was no entertainment, opera would have been born in ancient times, and Peking Opera, Yue Opera, and Sichuan Opera would not have appeared; if there was no entertainment, music would not have been born, and music masters like Beethoven and Chopin would not have appeared; if there was no entertainment, radio, tape recorder, and television would not have been born, let alone radio and television stations.
In the same way, the reason why computers can enter the home is also entertainment. In the early days, it was video games, and later after the birth of multimedia technology, video and music were concentrated on computers, and then the emergence of the Internet, and then streaming media and self-media appeared.
Entertainment has brought computers into ordinary homes, which in turn has promoted the development of semiconductor industry technology, which is a huge industrial ecological chain. Without entertainment, Li Yixuan can't imagine what the world would be like!
In Li Yixuan's view, in addition to the factors that endanger the stability of human society, such as drugs, war and violence, various other emerging industries cannot be blindly opposed because they are "kitschat pornography (the ancient version affects academic performance)".
It's a pity that no one will listen to his words, and it will not affect the decisions of those in power. He couldn't predict what the other side would think of him.
He didn't know any of these things, he could only move forward step by step.
It was time to think about the factory, and Li Yixuan came to Zhang Guifang's office.
"Mom, the land I talked about last time is on the map under Yuen Long. It's been all these days, how's it going?"
Zhang Guifang glanced at him and ignored him.
No, it's been so many days, and you're still messing with me. Dad really didn't mistake you, you just can't tell the difference.
An inexplicable sadness rose in Li Yixuan's heart, and he felt that his heart was very tired and tired.
Walking to the floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the bustling world outside the window, there is a feeling of giving up everything.
"Mom, since you want to do this, I won't say anything. I'm tired, I want to give up, I want to go home, this place is always not ours, we are just intruders. We don't want everything here, let's go back, okay? Go back to our 23rd century. Where is our home? ”
Zhang Guifang was stunned, he didn't know why Li Yixuan had this thought.
"Are you willing?"
"What's reluctant, we don't belong here. Li Yixuan said lightly, "It is meaningless for us to continue the cold war like this, rather than one day our mother and son turn against each other, it is better to give up everything and go home now." We start anew, and there is no so-called cause in your mouth. ”
"I don't think it's better to hit the day than to hit the day, just today, you will dissolve the company today. At 7 o'clock in the evening I will open the door of time and space at my house on Chung Ying Street, and if you don't show up, I will go back by myself. You can toss as much as you like here, I won't care. ”
Without waiting for Zhang Guifang to answer, Li Yixuan left by himself, he had enough.
