The news about the birth of quantum computers has spread overwhelmingly in the scientific community, the science and technology circle and the world Internet and other regions, and the bigwigs and industry leaders in the science and technology circle have also jumped out to "complain" successively.

There are many people who pay attention to the birth of quantum computers, but more people have gathered under the banners of those world giant companies, and the tweets of industry leaders have been reprinted and left messages by netizens.

"Haha, it's reasonable, the facts are in front of you, and there seems to be no reason not to believe it! $800 billion market capitalization, my God~~!! Zuckerberg probably wakes up laughing when he dreams now! ”

"No, no! You're wrong, that person should be Jeff. Bezos and Amazon, look at Bezos's emotional and magical tweet, although the whole paragraph is composed of one word at the same time, but the connotation is super rich!! ”

"Agreed, but am I the only one who thinks so? I think Jeff now regrets his death, regretting why he only invested 30 million in D-Wave in the first place? Why not $300 million? No! Why don't you just buy D-Wave~!! ”

"Hey, almost all the tech guys have joined this luxurious lunch, why hasn't Gates moved? It's not scientific! ”

"When did Paige get so funny?"

……

Driven by the chain of various effects, the Internet news during this period of time was "tragically" swiped by the quantum computer, as if it became the object of national attention, from these reactions can also explain the impact of this scientific and technological progress on the whole world, the birth of the quantum computer its impact on the entire human race is no less than the birth of the world's first electronic computer "Eniake".

However, in the context of today's era, the speed of news transmission is far from being comparable to the era of "Eniake" in the last century, so that this kind of invention that affects all human civilization once it appeared was a sensation in the whole world, almost in a day, more than two-thirds of Internet users and more than 2.7 billion people learned the news on the same day.

The fluidity of information in the era of Internet sharing is once again on full display.

……

Somewhere in California, USA, a room made of black and white colors is very simple and pleasing to the eye, an old man is sitting in front of the computer without saying a word, the room is slightly dim, and it is late at night local time at this moment.

The old man's face is covered with a snow-white beard and white hair, and he is over 70 years old, according to ten years ago, this age has entered the end of life, but in today's era, 70 years old is only half the way through life for human beings.

"It's time to sleep! Kevin! A voice rang out in the quiet room.

"I'll go and rest soon! You can rest too. The old man in front of the computer said a vicissitudes of voice.

The old man's name was Kevin. Kelly, for this name, if a person thinks of himself as a Silicon Valleyer, if he doesn't know the name, he will be a Silicon Valley person.

Kevin. Kelly is the founding editor-in-chief of Wired, a well-known American magazine, and he even holds the title of "prophet". He has successfully predicted several Internet trends and megatrends in his book. At the end of the last century, Kelly made predictions about the trends and concepts of the next two or three decades, and over time, until today, his predictions have become a reality, such as big data, cloud computing, 3D printing, blogs, screen reading, wikis and other Internet public wisdom.

Kevin. Kelly is also known as the "spiritual father of Silicon Valley" and the "godfather of the world's Internet", and deservedly so.

However, at this moment, the "Godfather of Silicon Valley" looked at the computer screen, his face was solemn, in fact, he has not had much smile in recent years.

He is following the latest news in the world at the moment, and there is no doubt that the news he is browsing at the moment is about the quantum computer that has been "swiping" the Internet for some time. Just when the outside world was celebrating mankind's entry into the era of quantum computers, Kevin . When Kelly learned the news, his face was not excited, not even joyful, but solemn.

He sat in front of the computer and closed his eyes and meditated for ten minutes, then slowly opened his eyes and took out a pair of glasses from the drawer, he could have never needed them again, but he did not choose to undergo the treatment of "replication technology" to replace himself with a pair of healthy eyes.

After putting on the glasses, the sound of keyboard tapping gradually sounded, and the words formed a sentence and a paragraph, until finally it became a complete article......

"The news I saw today kept me up at night, so much so that late at night I should have fallen asleep and had a good dream, when in fact I was writing this article, maybe you have already guessed what the message I am talking about. D-Wave and XlouS have joined forces to create the first quantum computer in human history, which should have been a moment for all of humanity to celebrate, and it is.

But when I first heard the news, I suddenly felt a suppressed emotion, and I tried to imagine the future, but I was greeted with suffocating depression and fear.

In the past decade until now, technology has advanced too fast, really too fast.

It is facing a crisis of getting out of control, and the development of science and technology is gradually facing a trend of getting out of control.

But on the contrary, I strongly encourage everyone to embrace the big wave of technology. I believe that whether it is a national government, an enterprise or an individual, it should embrace the general trend of science and technology in today's era, rather than resisting, resisting or even banning the development of science and technology. There is no doubt that this is anti-human.

Under today's technological trend, there will be a subversive revolution in all walks of life, and it is all around us, right now in our moment, specifically XlouS can be referred to as an example. And these disruptors do not come from the industry itself, such as the following examples that have happened in the near future: the disruption of the translation industry a few years ago did not come from the translation industry itself, the subversion of smart homes and wearable smart devices and smartphones did not come from the industry itself, but also from the medical industry, the entertainment industry, etc., all of which we have personally experienced are not from the industries themselves, but new challengers have redefined the industry.

The most typical example of a challenger is XlouS, a company that I think is no stranger to redefining the translation industry, the film industry, the mobile phone industry, the healthcare system, and so on.

Some newly born technologies have become trends and trends, in this process, we embrace the tide of science and technology at the same time, but also make people feel anxious and panicked, such as artificial intelligence and robots, the advent of the screen reading era has redefined reading, the distant and gradual disappearance of paper books, these things will make people feel panic, but we still have to embrace all this in the end, because all this is a big trend, a big trend, is unstoppable, and anyone who tries to swim against the current will be hit by the big wave. ”

(PS: A digression, do you see that the book lovers here have some expectations for the future?) Still a little scared? The reality is certainly not as exaggerated as in the book, but fortunately it is not as exaggerated as in the book. (To be continued.) )
