"After talking about tradition, I will talk about technology. Have any of you, brothers and sisters, read my book Digital Survival? If you have, raise your hand!"
Many people below immediately raised their hands.
"Very well, thank you all for supporting me. In fact, I personally feel that this book is my favorite work. It is much better than the book "Slam Dunk". I think everyone likes me so much because I
Have a strong sense of the future world, not just draw it
Otherwise, Professor Dalden would not have invited me to give a lecture. How could the University of Hong Kong find a cartoonist to come? Even Mr. Jin Yong has never been here.
I’ve given you a lecture here! Isn’t that right, Professor Dalden?”
Dalden smiled and nodded, but he felt like he was being seen through.
This Liu Lang is so awesome, he seems to be able to see what other people are thinking.
Liu Lang is right. The reason why the University of Hong Kong was able to issue an invitation letter to Liu Lang was mainly because of his academic knowledge. Especially the book "Digital Survival" really stands at a very high level.
Height, this height is not something that everyone can reach.
There is no one like him in the most technologically advanced country like the United States. As for drawing comics, it is just for entertainment. Is Jin Yong great? The novels he writes are straight to the heart, but he has not been invited yet.
Of course, Mr. Jin Yong is also qualified.
"Professor Dalden smiled and said nothing. It seems that I was right. Professor, why didn't you just tell me directly? If I end my speech now, you will definitely scold me in your heart, right?"
"No, no, you said it very well just now!"
Dalden said hurriedly.
"I just said that you don't understand. You don't understand some of the Chinese people's thinking patterns."
Liu Lang retorted with a smile, and then continued.
"Let me talk about the book Digital Survival. I wrote about the computer industry in detail. The source of this book is that I participated in the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. When I was four years old, I won the gold medal in the World Olympic Quiz Competition. It was also in
During that trip to the United States, I saw computers, met Mr. Wan An, and learned about the functions of computers. I was deeply attracted by this electronic product.
In fact, what attracts me is not this kind of computer product, but the changes in the times that this product will bring. Two hundred years ago, the Englishman Watt invented the steam engine, and human society has since entered the mechanical age. Now all human civilizations are proud of it.
With the invention of the steam engine, and later the electric age, mankind has moved forward faster and faster. The next era is the digital age, and this era has created more civilizations than the previous two eras combined.
The digital age is developing equally rapidly. I believe that the University of Hong Kong already has computer courses. My alma mater, Hua Xia University, also offers computer courses. Hundreds of computers are used by students who are thirsty for knowledge. But I believe you
I still can’t understand how fast this era is. In the next seven or eight years, that is, by the end of this century, the digital age will completely arrive, and our lives will be completely changed, completely changed. By the first decade of the next century, that
The era will be completely different from the present, and it will be a society that no one can imagine.
So in the future, whoever masters digital technology will have real rights, whether it is an individual or a country. So from now on, which countries will be the winners of this change?
Now several countries in the world are taking action. The first is the United States. As the birthplace of computers, the United States has unparalleled advantages. Wan'an and IBN manufacture more than half a million computers every year. This number
It is growing rapidly every year, and the UK is not bad at all. After all, the established developed countries have some foundations, such as ARM.
ARM's advanced reduced instruction set was created by the British. Although it is not commonly used anymore, it can at least represent a status, and as the closest friend of the United States, it will also receive some charity, although I am not very optimistic about it.
them!
In addition to the United Kingdom and the United States, I am optimistic about our old neighbor island countries. The island countries have just experienced a financial crisis and their economy has plummeted. But don’t underestimate them. The people of the island countries are deeply influenced by Chinese culture and have a hard-working spirit.
quality.
The research on semiconductors by the islanders has surpassed that of the United States. Although the United States used the Plaza Accord to appreciate the yen in the early 1980s, which led to a sharp increase in hot money and created a prosperous stock market and real estate market, which eventually collapsed two years ago, it was
This financial crisis will make the islanders completely realize their own shortcomings and allow them to settle down and start their own manufacturing industry. Perhaps twenty years later they will let Americans see a completely different island country!"
Dalden's eyes widened at the side, "What about Jimmy Liu? Why don't I know?"
Well, how many secrets does Dalden know? For example, what is the purpose of the Plaza Accord signed by the United States and the island country? Does he know? Of course not, but after listening to Liu Lang's explanation, it seems that this is the case.
Some of the students below are studying international trade and have a deeper understanding of the Plaza Accord. I did not connect this agreement with the financial crisis of the island country before. Now after listening to Liu Lang’s words, I feel that it makes sense. Could it be that this is all done by the Americans?
Ghost?
Liu Lang ignored them and continued.
"I talked about the United States and island countries, and by the way, there is also the United Kingdom. In fact, the United Kingdom can no longer catch up with the former in the digital age, but there is another country that must be said. This country will play an irreplaceable role in the digital age. Then
This is my motherland, China!"
"Some people will definitely say that China is so backward. The people can't even eat. It has not caught up with the industrial era, the electrical era has not caught up, and the digital era will definitely not catch up. You are completely wrong to include China, is that right?
Let me tell you that there is a company called SMIC in China. This company was established six years ago. It mainly provides chips for Wan'an Computer. Four years ago, it achieved independent manufacturing of chips. By this year, it has been able to manufacture chips independently.
We manufacture 20,000 computer chips for Wan'an Computer every year. I believe that many of the computers used by Island University in Hong Kong use SMIC chips. You didn't expect it!"
Liu Lang's words immediately caused the students below to exclaim. Of course, they had not thought that they had never even heard of the company SMIC. Liu Lang must be talking nonsense.
"Some people may think that I am talking nonsense, because almost none of you know about this company, but it does exist, but the media in Hong Kong Island never report it. If you have the opportunity to go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange in the Mainland, you can know about me.
Are you talking nonsense? It's because you don't understand the mainland."
