Chapter 269: PC

Taking this medical crisis as an opportunity, some Louisiana legislators suggested that the state could learn from India's universal health care and should spend 6% of its budget to contract medical services to Windsor Hospital. Unfortunately, Americans still love economic freedom too much and are unwilling to force all citizens to pay health insurance. Even the governors of California, Oregon and Washington on the West Coast under Downing did not speak out in support of such an action without receiving clear instructions from their bosses.

On the contrary, Louisiana's proposal reminded the Soviet government that the general secretary had decided to implement universal health care, which made it unnecessary to adhere to the bottom line of a 50% nationalization rate, because the health insurance plan clearly stipulated that more than 6% of the revenue should go to the Soviet Ministry of Finance.

Israel has become the second country after the Soviet Union to contract out universal health insurance, and after all, it is a place run by Comrade Marx for many years, and it has a strong atmosphere of high welfare. The Swedish people have a strong affection for the Windsor Empire, and they are considering leaving medical care entirely to the Windsor Hospital.

These hot political topics are all outside of Downing's perception, who is preparing for one of the most important product launches in the history of the Windsor consortium, which will host an international technology show on November 11. This is a truly international exhibition, because it will take place approximately simultaneously in cities in several countries around the world: London, Brussels, Luxembourg, Zurich, Munich, Milan, Vienna, Warsaw, Port Windsor, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Novosibirsk, Kolkata, Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo, San Francisco, New Orleans, New York, Panama City, Rio de Janeiro, Melbourne, Toronto.

Relations with Prussia warmed, Berlin was added to the list, and even St. Petersburg was added to the list, not as a friendly one, but as a demonstration to this newly compromised Russia, to let Alexander II see where he was far from the Windsor Empire. If you do the math, there are a total of 25 cities, which can be described as high-profile. France was xenophobic and became the only major country to miss.

The show will last for a month, and its products will be IBM personal computers. Its appearance is very similar to the laptop of later generations, but there is an essential difference, because the current process can not really be made into a laptop, so there is a virtual appearance, just an LCD screen and keyboard, its real processor, memory, hard disk, motherboard and other core components are all in a "birdcage", resting next to the "notebook".

Interestingly, you might think that the "notebook" on the table has nothing to do with the "birdcage", because they are not connected by wires, but are cleverly integrated into a thin tablet spread on the tabletop. This sheet contains an ever-changing solenoid coil that not only charges the electrical appliances on it, but also emits electromagnetic signals, which serve as power and communication between the components.

The "Smart Desktop" has a special area on the left and right sides of the keyboard, the surface of which is particularly smooth, and the electromagnetic induction network underneath is particularly dense because it plays another important role: the trackpad. As early as when designing the animation coloring scheme, Downing began to develop a similar electromagnetic touchpad, this time using this technology on the right control.

Obviously, the touch area needs to have an electromagnetic signal generator installed on the tip of the pen, and this stylus is the guy that is used to replace the mouse. The reason for this is that, on the one hand, people have been accustomed to writing and drawing with the tip of a pen for thousands of years, so they have practiced excellent control skills since childhood, but anyone with a little bit of culture will use a pen, and the stylus is much more natural than the mouse.

With a high-precision stylus, all artists in the world have the possibility of becoming original artists in the digital age, which is quite important to Downing's plan to show her baby daughter "cartoons" before she becomes an adult.

The stylus does not need to be charged at all, it is both consuming and charging when it comes into contact with the touch area on the smart desktop, and the happy Victorian humans used the "wireless mouse" two hundred years earlier than the real history.

The smart desktop is not only capable of this, it is also an intermediary for the transmission of information with the outside world, just like a telegraph machine is connected to the telegraph network through guò wires. On the day of the exhibition, the "lecturers" in 25 cities will also introduce to you the integration of telegraphs and telephones, there are two speakers on the left and right sides of the top of the keyboard, and a microphone is hidden at the bottom, if you don't want others to hear, you can also pick up the earpiece hanging on the "birdcage", which is a detachable accessory on the birdcage, which is convenient for professional operators to change into head-mounted intercom devices.

Some engineers suggested that they should not integrate this accessory at all, but Downing believes that telephone service is too common, and it is reasonable to integrate a telephone handset, and it does not even give customers a choice.

Down's use of a separate partition of the core operating system, only the core services at the time of boot into the built-in strategy, plus now a "semi-graphic" operating system design, so the boot speed is very fast, usually about 5 seconds.

The so-called semi-graphical interface,It refers to the use of color block puzzles to arrange applications,The center of the color block is just a very simple icon and text description,For example, the first application of my big ibm_ is "telegram", which is a sky blue color block, and then in the middle is a large white envelope icon, the lower left corner is the word "telegram", and the lower right corner is the number of unread telegrams by the user.

The Telegram app opens quickly after the stylus directs the pointer on the color block with a click, without the slightest animation effect to interfere, Tang Ning himself hates all kinds of unnecessary animation transition effects, which affect the speed of operation, not to mention that in the current low configuration, it is impossible to make these boring things for the "semi-graphical operating system".

Compared with the previous LCD telegraph, the telegram application is more powerful, not only can you insert pictures, but also audio. Maybe everyone can see that the current telegram is no longer the legendary telegram of a few words, in fact, it is closer to "email", and it is much better than the attachment function of email, the attachment opens the picture and audio, and you don't know which picture and which audio matches which text. Although many emails have only one attachment, it is not excluded that there are a mixture of images, sounds, and texts, which is quite complicated, right?

Telegram also imposes an enterprise-level function, which can apply for a "Telegram Official Account", which is a special number that can send telegrams to all users around the world who "follow" the official account, and companies can use it to send notifications to employees and users, and obviously it can also be used by trendy government agencies, and celebrities with brains will soon find that this is a good feature to send notifications to their brain-dead fans or high-level blacks.

Advertisers will soon find that the Telegram public account is an excellent marketing tool, as long as the means are used to get users to pay attention to them, sometimes the ad is very annoying, but it may also be very popular, for example, if you are going to buy a house recently, you may be very interested in real estate, decoration, gardens and furniture, take the initiative to pay attention to the relevant Telegram public account without pressure. Not to mention that those who love to be greedy for small and cheap will pay attention to "special prices" and "jumping sales".

Can the news media use the official account of the telegraph to sell news? Tang Ning did equip the Telegram public account with a charging function, however, he positioned the official account as a "notice", he had already considered the issue of digital publishing, the Telegraph had dominated this distribution method for too long, he felt embarrassed, or open it to his peers, make his own platform, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly.

There's nothing better than the internet to take on the heavy lifting of digital publishing. Downing is going to release this devil with his own hands. This international science and technology exhibition will attract all the major media, and they themselves are the objects of Downing's attention. The tool used is the second one after the telegram app: (text media).

Many people use the Internet every day, but they don't know how the content on the Internet comes from, in addition to the familiar web pages, in fact, there is a very important part of the server-side content management system. This is the content management system. Students who don't love technology don't need to know any technical details of the Internet implementation at all, as long as you open this application that is very similar to office software, you can start adding content to your website, you need to choose a column when publishing, if there is no column, you need to add.

A qiē has been arranged for you, and when you click "Publish", your personal website is "live". Each one is a node of the Internet, so theoretically, publish it on your own and the whole world can see it, but of course Downing will not allow this kind of thing to happen, how much network resources will it take. Each one has the same number as it did in the days of the telegraph, and that number is the URL of a personal website, but the telecom company has limited it to a maximum of 1,000 people, and you can only add them to the whitelist.

The standard version is free, whatever you toss among these thousand friends, and when you have more than 1,000 people in the white list, you need to pay to apply for the "enterprise version", the enterprise version increases the number of partners to 10,000, and you have to pay for each additional 10,000 people in the future, and when you want the website to be not limited to small partners, you need to apply for a "domain name".

The Americans who invented the Internet have a very large top-level domain name, and the inventor of this plane is even more arrogant, there is no top-level domain name, and all important Windsor websites are directly abbreviated as domain names, such as: the website of the British Telegraph Company, is BT, yes, it is the bt of the bare pole, there is no point combe. (http://.)。 Only non-Windsor-based websites have to add a suffix, such as: U.S. government, and give them a top-level domain. US, that's interesting enough, right?

All institutions that have purchased a domain name will send a public server, which can be placed in the computer room of the telecommunications company, or can be brought back to their own company, the computer room is directly connected to the trunk optical fiber, and the security measures are also perfect, of course, it is the first choice for most websites. Of course, there is no limit to the number of visits to the public server, and there is an upper limit to the number of visits per day, and there is a charge for exceeding it, so it is best to limit the number of visitors accepted, which can be by country, by city, and can also establish a paid column, which is the focus of attention of the major media.

Everyone uses the same content management system when publishing digital content, will all the websites on the Internet look the same? In order to solve this problem, Downing first designed a website template framework called (helper), which can control many aspects of the web page generated, such as: frame style, paragraph style, table, form, button, icon, navigation, location indication, pagination, warning box, list......

With that, web pages can be very different, and of course, in order to give designers full control over the page, the HTML source code will gradually be opened up. It's all in there, and it's the engine that generates Internet content.
