Chapter 866: The End of the Era

"What's a USB flash drive?" Huang Yiming muttered curiously, then opened the package, took out the various accessories inside, and then found the manual, and finally figured out what the USB flash drive was.

"This is a brand new storage device!! So much smaller than HDD! And there is also 16MB, which is equivalent to the capacity of 12 3.5-inch floppy disks! After reading the instruction manual of the USB flash drive, Huang Yiming couldn't help but exclaim.

At the same time, as a professional computer industry practitioner, Huang Yiming immediately realized the importance of this USB flash drive.

Thinking of this, Huang Yiming immediately began to experiment impatiently.

However, it is not easy to use a USB flash drive, because the key to the USB flash drive, that is, the USB1.0 standard, is a new computer interaction port standard jointly proposed by Intel, Compaq, Digital, IBM, Microsoft, NEC and NorthernTelecom, Daqian and other more than a dozen computer industry enterprises in early 1995 this year, in order to solve the problem of excessive computer interaction port in the past. It makes the interaction between computers and other devices easier and more convenient.

Although this USB1.0 standard is published for free, it can be freely used all over the world, and the world's major computer companies, such as IBM, Microsoft and other computer and accessories manufacturers, have added USB excuses to their latest products.

But the problem is that after all, this is an excuse that only a few, new products released after April 1995, Huang Yiming's current old computer does not have a USB port, and it cannot be used.

So although the Deluxe Edition delivered a USB flash drive, the problem is that 99.999% of the world's computers cannot use the USB flash drive at all.

But Daqian has thought of this, so his USB flash drive also distributes an adapter, an adapter that is about the same length as a 3.5-inch floppy disk, so that the USB flash drive can be used with the help of the interface of the 3.5-inch floppy disk.

After some tossing, Huang Yiming finally figured out how to use the USB flash drive, and after quickly using the USB flash drive a few times, Huang Yiming suddenly groaned in a low voice, "It's over, the life of the 3.5-inch floppy disk is over!" ”

After using the USB flash drive, Huang Yiming understood that the 3.5-inch floppy disk was so vulnerable in front of the USB flash drive.

I believe that there are many readers who read this book and don't even know what a 3.5-inch floppy disk is, after all, the 3.5-inch floppy disk interface has been canceled on computers produced all over the world.

However, before the birth of the USB flash drive, the 3.5-inch floppy disk was the world's most important mobile storage device, and most business people could only choose the 3.5-inch floppy disk as a mobile storage device when they needed to carry computer data to move.

Many enterprises need drawings, all kinds of data, software, etc., will be stored on the 3.5-inch floppy disk, at that time the status of the 3.5-inch floppy disk, is now the status of the U disk.

But the disadvantages of the 3.5-inch floppy disk are very obvious, first of all, the storage capacity of the 3.5-inch floppy disk is limited, only able to store 1.44MB of capacity, this capacity may be large enough before the 90s, enough for everyone to store data, but after the 90s, any word document has a few MB of the era, the 3.5-inch floppy disk is no longer usable, can you imagine yourself with a capacity of only 1.44MB of U disk out to run business, or the scene of class?

The author still remembers that in 99 years, it was the first time in his life when he took a computer class, at that time there was no USB flash drive, the teacher in order to show us a slide, he carried 6 3.5-inch floppy disks, and then inserted them one by one, constantly copied the files, and also transferred a slide with a time of less than 10MB to the computer, and then gave us a lesson. Pen in Chinese

This was a very normal scenario at the time, and in some cases, it was even necessary to hire a person to carry a box containing hundreds of 3.5-inch floppy disks.

So when the U disk with a capacity of 16MB appeared, and according to the promotional page attached to the box, Daqian can provide a maximum capacity of 102MB U disk, Huang Yiming realized that the life of the 3.5-inch floppy disk is coming to an end, and this thing can't compete with the U disk at all.

"This is a baby, mine to save it, you can pretend to be forced in the future, Daqian is really too hanging, I actually gave such a baby!" Huang Yiming exclaimed, and then carefully put the USB flash drive into his briefcase.

According to the investigation of later reporters, many players who bought the deluxe version did not know much about the USB flash drive, and thought it was a useless thing, so they threw it in a drawer or in the corner.

Even if USB flash drives became popular later, they didn't expect that they had actually obtained a USB flash drive a few years ago.

At the commemoration ceremony of the 10th anniversary of the issuance of the USB flash drive, Daqian Group announced the first USB flash drive they released all over the world, in fact, it was connected to the "Diablo" linkage USB flash drive, this was originally a somewhat unknown USB flash drive, and the value soared to hundreds of thousands in an instant, and then rose to millions, this is the first batch of USB flash drives produced in the world!

This is also why the deluxe version of "Diablo" will be able to be sold in the market for a price of 6 million in the future, the world's first batch of linkage GTX0000, and the world's first batch of U disks produced, are all packed in such a box, do you say that this unopened thing is worth it!

"Value! It's worth it!! Huang Yiming thought of holding his deluxe version.

This is the second major event that happened on August 1st.

And the third big thing that happened on this day, in fact, is also in New York, and it is also in the grid manufacturer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now at the Grid Mall in New York to report on the premiere of a new computer game, a game released by Daqian Games, which has earned an unprecedented 9.9 points from major game magazines, and as a ......"

"Ah...... Ah......h

"President, everything is done, it is very smooth, at least 500,000 viewers, witnessed all this in the news!" In Motorola's office, the secretary whispered to Christopher Galvin.

"Good, good!" Christoph Galvin showed a hint of smugness on his face with a somewhat sinister smile, and after planning for a month, everything was finally ready, and an invincible punch from Daqian was also hit by Motorola.

"Add a little material to you at the first scene of your most proud game, I think that Chinese person must be very happy!" Christoph Galvin couldn't help but start laughing maniacally.
