"Mr. Lucas, these technologies are indeed very good! I admire them, but have you heard of computers? They are the machines from IBM or Wan An that can perform word processing?"
Liu Lang asked.
"Little Jimmy, are you talking about the computer?"
"Yes, it's a computer!"
I had no idea Lucas really knew about computers.
"I have an Apple computer here!"
Lucas turned around a large model. Behind the model was a table, and on the table was a computer.
"Is this an Apple computer?"
This is the first time Liu Lang has seen an Apple computer from the 1980s. This style is indeed inherited from Apple, that is, a simple body.
A computer from Wan'an Company is divided into three parts, the monitor, the main case and the keyboard. Of course, computers 20 or 30 years later will basically have these three parts, but today's computers are too bulky, with a main case containing dozens of
It's like a big suitcase, and the monitor is basically the same as a TV, very bulky.
But Apple computers are completely different. The appearance of the computer in front of Liu Lang is no different from the personal computers of later generations. The main chassis and screen are assembled together, then the keyboard, and there is also a mouse. Yes, that’s right.
The mouse, this small component, can be said to be a pioneering work of Apple.
No wonder the Apple computer caused a shock when it was released. Its size alone is more than twice as small as the computers of Wan'an Company, and there is no problem even if it is placed on the table.
But the key problem is that Apple computers are simply too expensive.
"I bought this computer last year and it cost me US$3,800, but it looks good but has no functions!"
Lucas patted the screen and said.
"Let me see!"
Liu Lang came closer and looked at the Apple computer carefully.
"Matosh 128K, 8MHz Motorola 68000 processor, 128KB memory; 9-inch CRT display, resolution 512x342 (pixel density 72ppi); 3.5-inch floppy drive plus one-button mouse and heavy keyboard."
Liu Lang gently spoke out the technical parameters of the computer. Although his voice was low, the people around him could hear it clearly. Sun Mingren and Lin Guodong didn't know what Liu Lang was "murmuring".
Cass knew a little bit, but he only knew about the 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, and he didn't understand the rest of the terms, but he knew that these must be various components of this computer.
Liu Lang identified Apple computer parts at a glance?
"F××K, is this kid dressed up as Steve Jobs?"
Liu Lang's understanding of computers was not as good as Lucas imagined. The parameters of this first-generation Apple computer were exactly what his wife Hong Yu had told him about in his previous life, but he had forgotten them before. This time he saw things and thought about them.
People, reminded him again.
Hong Yu is an Apple fan through and through. This does not mean that she is obsessed with Apple products. In fact, except for an Apple computer at home, none of the other electronic products are from Apple because they are too expensive and
In terms of performance, it may not be much better than domestic ones.
The reason why Hong Yu is so obsessed with Apple is because Apple has led the development of the times. The emergence of Apple computers has opened the door to the popularity of personal computers around the world, and Microsoft and Intel have benefited from this.
Twenty years later, the emergence of Apple's mobile phone once again let the world know what a smartphone is, thus promoting the arrival of the global mobile Internet era.
It can be said that Apple is like a beacon in the technological era, guiding the direction of the development of the times at critical moments. Anyone who understands the development process of the technological era is deeply impressed by it.
Of course, Liu Lang also has deep respect for Apple and "Gang Leader Qiao", but that happened in the last life, and it's hard to say in this life. Anyway, Liu Lang is now grabbing the business of "Gang Leader Qiao", first taking out Industrial Lighting.
Let the devil snatch it away and talk about it later.
"Mr. Lucas, this Apple computer is indeed not very easy to use, but it is just like a video camera. The original video camera can only shoot silent videos, but now, you can already make camera equipment for shooting interstellar travel.
This is progress, but in my opinion, although the CNC system is much more accurate than human control, it is still lagging behind, such as
Various problems will occur during shooting. Some problems are likely to be sudden. Once they occur, adjustments will be made immediately. In this case, the pre-designed controls will not be able to do the job, which requires a computer to control them.
, and then we humans will control the computers. With the entry of computers, I believe Industrial Light & Magic will make another breakthrough in various technologies!"
"Haha, little Jimmy, your idea is good, but this computer can't do it!"
Lucas shook his head.
"This computer can't do it because it hasn't compiled relevant programs. It doesn't mean that other computers can't do it...!"
"Oh, listen to you, can you do it?"
Lucas looked at Liu Lang curiously and said.
"Of course I can't do it, but don't worry, within a year I will show you what a real computer is!"
Liu Lang is full of confidence.
Lucas felt that Liu Lang was not a genius in the ordinary sense. The other party's IQ was of course something he had never seen before in his life, and his extraordinary imagination was really shocking. But if these can be summarized
In terms of IQ, the simple negotiation with the other party just now made Lucas realize Liu Lang's ability to control the overall situation.
Although Lucas is not a good negotiator, he has met many business tycoons, and even talked and laughed with the boss of Fox Company. In order to get the other party to increase the cost of Transformers, he fought with all the powerful people with passionate words, and finally won a great victory.
But when it came to Liu Lang, this advantage disappeared. His company's design team was not as good as his own; his company's original shooting equipment and techniques seemed to be nothing special in the eyes of the other party.
In addition, this kid also knows about computers. You must know that computers are "black technology" to people of this era. They are one of the most cutting-edge technological products in the world. Even in the United States, more than 90% of people don't know about it.
Only big companies would buy computers, but Liu Lang knew about such a "high-end" item.
It can be said that Lucas felt suppressed by the other party throughout the whole process, and his Industrial Light and Magic seemed worthless in the eyes of this child.
This kind of ability cannot be explained by IQ alone. It also requires rich experience and... and that kind of innate ability...!
Indeed, Liu Lang's ability exceeded Lucas's imagination. Lucas could imagine an interstellar spacecraft that could cross the stars, but he never imagined that a seven-year-old child could reach this level.
