【Chapter 287: Warning】

News about the birth of quantum computers is spreading in the scientific community, the technology circle and the world's Internet and other regions. Big players and industry celebrities have also jumped out to make "complaints". The "collective dispatch" of these celebrities has also caused a great sensation in the Internet. Driven by the celebrity effect, as the core of the Internet, that is, how could the public lose their shadow under such a "grand occasion".

There are many people who are paying attention to the birth of quantum computers, but more people are gathered under the bosses of world giant companies. The "complaints" of industry celebrities have been reprinted and commented by netizens.

"Haha, it's reasonable and well-founded. The facts are right in front of you. There seems to be no reason to not believe it! The market value of 800 billion US dollars, my god!! Zuckerberg probably will wake up laughing in his dreams now!"

"No, no! You are wrong. That person should be Jeff Bezos and Amazon. Look at Bezos' emotional magical tweet. Although the whole paragraph is composed of one word at the same time, it has a very rich connotation!!!"

"Agree, but do I think so? I think Jeff is probably regretting it so much now. I regret why he only invested in d-wave for only 30 million? Why not 300 million US dollars? No! Why didn't he buy d-wave directly~!!!"

"Hey, almost all the technology experts have joined this luxurious lunch. Why is Gates not moving? This is unscientific!"

"When did Page become so funny?"

...

Driven by various effects, Internet news during this period was "tragically" hit by quantum computers, and has become the focus of the whole nation. These reactions can also show the impact of this technological progress on the entire world. The birth of quantum computers has an impact on the entire human race. The birth of quantum computers has no less than the birth of the world's first electronic computer, "Eniac".

However, in today's era, the speed of news spread is far beyond that of the era in which "Eniac" in the last century. As a result, this invention that influenced the civilization of all mankind appeared, it caused a sensation in the whole world. In almost one day, more than two-thirds of the Internet users and more than 2.7 billion people learned the news on the same day.

The liquidity of news in the era of Internet sharing has been revealed again.

...

In a certain area of ​​California, USA, a house made of black and white colors is very simple and pleasing to the eye. An old man is sitting in front of the computer and speaking without saying a word. The room is a little dim. At this moment, it is already late at night.

The old man's face was covered with snow-white beard and white hair. His age was over 70 years ago. Ten years ago, this age was already at the end of his life, but in today's era, 70 years old is only half of his life for humans.

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

"I will go to rest soon! You can rest too." The elderly man in front of the computer spoke a vicissitudes of voice.

The old man's name is Kevin Kelly. For this name, if a person regards himself as a Silicon Valley person, if he does not know this name, he will be a Silicon Valley person.

Kevin Kelly is the founding editor-in-chief of the famous American magazine "Wire" and even holds the title of "Prophet". He successfully predicted multiple Internet trends and trends in his works. Kevin Kelly made predictions on the trends and concepts in the next 20 or 30 years at the end of the last century. As time goes by, his predictions have become reality one by one, such as big data, cloud computing, 3D printing, blogs, screen reading, Wiki and other Internet public wisdom.

Kevin Kelly is also known as the "father of the Silicon Valley spirit" and the "godfather of the world's Internet", and is well deserved.

However, at this moment, the "Godfather of Silicon Valley" looked at the computer screen with a serious expression. In fact, he has not had much smile in recent years.

He is paying attention to the latest news in the world. There is no doubt that the news he is browsing at the moment is about quantum computers that have been "spreading" on the Internet recently. Just as the outside world celebrated the entry of human beings into the era of quantum computers, Kevin Kelly's face was not excited or even joyful when he learned this news, but was 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 glasses, but he did not choose to receive treatment from "copy technology" to replace himself with a pair of healthy eyes.

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

"The news I saw today made me sleep all night, so that I should have fallen asleep late at night and had a good dream, but in fact I am writing this article. Maybe you have guessed what the news I was talking about. D-wave and Xlous jointly built the first quantum computer in human history. This should be a time to celebrate with all mankind, and it is indeed the case.

But when I first felt when I heard the news, I suddenly felt a repressed emotion. I tried to imagine the future, but what I had received was suffocating depression and fear.

In the past decade and until now, technology has progressed too quickly, really too fast.

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

But on the contrary, I highly encourage everyone to embrace the great wave of technology. I think whether it is a national government, enterprise organization or individual, we should embrace the great trend of technology in today's era, rather than resisting, resisting or even banning the development of technology. There is no doubt that this is anti-human.

Under today's technological trend, disruptive revolutions will occur in all walks of life, and right around us, right now, we can refer to xlous as an example. And these disruptors do not come from the industry itself, such as the following examples that happened recently: A few years ago, the disruption of the translation industry did not come from the translation industry itself, and the subversion of smart homes, wearable smart devices and smartphones did not come from the industry itself, but from the medical industry, entertainment industry, etc. All of this we have personally experienced is not come from the industry itself, but from the new challengers who have redefined this industry.

The most typical example of a challenger is xlous. I think everyone is familiar with this company. He redefined the translation industry, film industry, mobile phone industry, medical system, etc.

Some newly born technologies have become trends and trends. In this process, while we embrace the tide of technology, we will also make people feel anxious and panic. For example, artificial intelligence and robots, the advent of the screen reading era has redefined reading, the trend of paper books fading and gradually disappearing, these things will make people feel panic, but we will eventually embrace all this, because all of this is a big trend, a big trend, and it is unstoppable. Anyone who attempts to go against the current will be completely impacted by the big wave."

(To be continued.)

(ps: A off-topic, do book friends who see this have some longing for the future? Or are they a little scared? Of course, reality is not as exaggerated as in the book, but fortunately not as exaggerated as in the book.) (To be continued.)
