One mobile phone to conquer the world: mankind's last chance for gold nuggets

Chapter 7 Introduction: It is closely related, who will take the lead (3)
Iron Implements are utensils made by smelting and processing iron ore.The appearance of iron implements brought about an epoch-making progress in human history.The earliest artificial iron smelting in the world was the Hittites living in Asia Minor, around 1400 BC.From 1300 BC to 1100 BC, iron smelting was introduced to Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt, and parts of Europe also entered the Iron Age around 1000 BC.But at that time all the smelting was block iron, and it was not until the end of the Middle Ages (around 1400) that Europe invented the hydraulic blast furnace, and pig iron smelting did not appear.The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the early Iron Age in China.Although the discovery of iron blades and copper axes in the Shang Dynasty showed that metallic iron had been recognized by the Chinese over 3000 years ago, the exact time when China began to smelt iron and use iron tools was still in the Spring and Autumn Period.The earliest artificially smelted iron tool, the iron sword with a copper handle, was unearthed in a tomb in the early Spring and Autumn Period in Lingtai, Gansu Province.

It allows human beings to settle down for the first time, and regard the land that they did not value before as their mother for survival. The wealth has changed from beasts to land and food, and fighting for land has become the core purpose of the sword.It has produced a self-sufficient economic form for human beings, a centralized feudal autocracy, and an orderly hierarchy of superiority and inferiority.With the sword is the king, and with the king is the law.The rich are called landlords, and the richest are called emperors.Buying land and houses is a dream in life.Its subversion laid the foundations of agricultural civilization.

The Steam Engine: The Revolution That Eliminated Manual Labor

Its invention allows human beings to break free from the land and move freely in a large area. The means of production and core wealth are transferred from the land to the mineral deposits under the land: coal, oil, iron, copper, aluminum... The competition for oil is the lifeblood of this era .Standardized large-scale assembly line production is the form of the economy, and the separation of powers and democratic politics is the normal state of the country.Social management has changed from the rule of man to the rule of law, the rich have changed from landlords to capitalists, power has changed from force to money, and the president is only a servant of a businessman.It makes heavy steel move by itself, becoming cars, trains, ships, and airplanes... It makes electricity illuminate our study, work, life, and entertainment... War is mechanized.Whether it is thermal energy, electric energy, nuclear energy, wind energy, solar energy... the engine will always be the hope that drives mankind to the future.

No matter how great the strength and martial arts are, they are no match for machines, and intelligence becomes the core competitiveness.The engine starts the industrial civilization, and the city is the dream of human beings. It enables human beings to enjoy a materially rich life in excess of supply for the first time.

Knowledge point

The world's first steam engine was the Aeolipile invented in the 1st century by the ancient Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria, which was the prototype of the steam engine.

Around 1679, French physicist Denis Papen built the first working model of a steam engine after observing steam escape from his pressure cooker.Around the same time, Samuel Moran also came up with the idea of ​​a steam engine.

1698年托马斯·塞维利、1712年托马斯·纽科门和1769年詹姆斯·瓦特制造了早期的工业蒸汽机。在1765年到1790间，瓦特发明了分离式冷凝器、汽缸外设置绝热层、用油润滑活塞、行星式齿轮、平行运动连杆机构、离心式调速器、节气阀、压力计等，使蒸汽机的效率提高到原来纽科门机的3倍多，最终发明出了现代意义上的蒸汽机。

In 1807, Robert Fulton was the first to successfully use a steam engine to drive a ship. In 1814, the first steam locomotive "Bratzer" developed by Stephenson of the United Kingdom was successfully tested. On September 1825, 9, Stephen Sun personally drove the "Voyager" steam locomotive designed and manufactured in cooperation with others to test run on the newly laid railway and achieved success.The application of the steam engine in the transportation industry brought mankind into the "train age" and rapidly expanded the scope of human activities.

Computer: Liberate the brain and give wisdom to all things
In the 20s, two people were very important, one was the British mathematician Turing.The concept of a general-purpose computer was proposed by him.His important paper "On Computable Numbers and Its Application to Judgment Problems" is the earliest paper on the principles of computers.

There is also a person named von Neumann, an American Jewish mathematician and one of the founders of modern computers. On February 1946, 2, the world's first electronic computer, ENIAC, was born. Its appearance was a disruptive technology that opened up opportunities for the development of information civilization in human history.Computers are created by artificial intelligence. Unlike Watt's steam engine, its appearance will liberate human intelligence.The greatest thing about computers is not only to liberate our physical strength, but also to liberate our brain power.It enables human beings to spend most of the time without thinking or memorizing, driving airplanes and cars without people, doing math problems without you, playing chess and Go without you thinking...

For example, all Boeing aircraft and Airbus are now piloted by computers.Google has manufactured three cars, controlled by computer, driverless, GPS positioning, the whole car is covered with sensors and cameras, and the recorded data is transmitted to the background. They have driven 30 miles without a single accident. In May 1997, the super chess computer "Deep Blue" produced by IBM Corporation of the United States defeated the world chess champion Garry Kasparov and became the first computer system to defeat the world chess champion within the standard game time limit.

Therefore, combining artificial intelligence computers with mechanized machines liberates physical strength, brain power, and memory power.The memory of a computer can store knowledge and information that you can never finish remembering in your life. Computers make information rather than matter the main means of production for human beings. The importance of information is surpassing land and minerals and becoming the number one treasure of human beings.

Alan Mathison Turing

Alan Mathison Turing (Alan Mathison Turing, 1912-1954) was admitted to King's College, Cambridge University at the age of 19. At the age of 23, he was elected as a Fellow of King's College with a paper on the central limit theorem.Turing was a homosexual. At that time, homosexuality was not tolerated by the British upper class. He was suppressed and persecuted, and finally committed suicide by eating an apple soaked in a cyanide solution.Later, someone added that Jobs named his company "Apple" to commemorate Turing. Jobs' "Apple" logo was bitten off, which symbolized the bite that Turing bit off.But Jobs denied it in the interview.

John von Neumann
John von Neumann (John von Neumann, 1903-1957), one of the founders of modern computers.He has made significant contributions to computer science, economics, quantum mechanics in physics, and almost all areas of mathematics. In 1951, the EDVAC computer was declared complete.Due to his great contribution to the design of computer logic structure, he is known as "the father of computer".

Since the advent of computers, the advantages and importance of human memory ability in learning and competition have been greatly reduced.Why was the highest degree called a Ph.D. in the past?Because a doctor means a erudite person, with a good memory, a lot of knowledge, well-spoken, and extensive quotations, such as Wang Can and Zhang Song in ancient times, Qian Zhongshu and Chen Yinke in modern times, Hu Qiaomu, the former "first pen of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China", etc. , even Ukrainian neurosurgery professor Andrey Slusarczyk (Andrey Slusarczyk), the Guinness record master of memory (can memorize 100 million decimal places of pi, and memorize 2 numbers in 5100 minutes), so he has a very strong memory People in China were great geniuses and outstanding figures in the past, but today, their "knowledge" is not important, and their value will be more reflected in "knowledge", that is, unique insights and comments.For ordinary people, that kind of memory is no longer needed, why?Because of computers, the Internet, Baidu and Google, all human knowledge can be searched in a second.

In February 2011, IBM's supercomputer Watson (Watson) was featured in Jeopardy, the most popular intelligence program in the United States! (Jeopardy).Compared with "Deep Blue", Watson has stronger intelligent analysis and data search capabilities, and it also perfectly challenges human memory.Watson stores a large number of books, news and movie script materials, Cihai, Anthology and "World Book Encyclopedia" (World Book Encyclopedia) and other millions of materials.Every time after reading the prompts of the questions, "Watson" will "dig three feet" to its own database in less than three seconds, and start searching in the long data of 2 million pages.In a sense, Watson's victory has marked the development of artificial intelligence in the future, and at the same time, it has brought the competition between humans and intelligent computers to a new level of intensification.In the future, this competition will be even more exciting.

Thomas Watson, the founder of IBM, once said that it is enough to sell seven or eight such machines. When Jobs proposed the concept of PC personal computer, everyone in the world can have a computer, and then develop to the more convenient iPad... …computer penetration is increasing. In 1975, there were 5 computers in the world, 2000 million in 5.65, 2008 billion in 19.3, and 2011 million in 1.3, becoming the country with the most computers. The University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom has a research report in 2010 According to the report, the number of obsolete PCs discarded worldwide will reach 2013 billion in 25, and more than 40 billion computers have been used accumulatively since humans used computers.

The rich in the computer age should be called intellectuals. They do not rely on capital to make money, but mainly rely on knowledge and wisdom to create wealth, and their sudden wealth does not come from the market, but basically from the stock market.The spirit of the computer is "openness, grassroots, integration, de-authority, de-centering, and de-hierarchy".The intellectuals live a simple and approachable life, and they will have more power to influence the world than politicians.

However, less than 30 years after the birth of the computer, the days of its independent existence began to enter the countdown stage. Because the mobile phone appeared, the mobile phone is not a replacement for the computer, but a fusion, integrating the communication function and the computer function.The integration of the three networks of computer Internet, communication network, and broadcasting network will definitely move towards mobile.

The independent desktop computer will disappear, it will live in the heart of the smartphone, and will continue its sacred mission of liberating human brain work until it is truly integrated with the human brain.

Great computers live forever!

Mobile phone: like a black hole in the universe...

When it was first born, it was just a wireless phone. It was called "Big Brother" by Hong Kong people to satisfy the vanity of the rich.

In just 40 years, there have been more than 65 billion mobile phone users worldwide.Its appetite is as big as a black hole in the universe, everything is sucked in and swallowed by it.Like opium, it makes everyone addicted; like a lover, it is reluctant to lend it to others.

No matter what human beings invent in the years to come, it will be controlled by mobile phones in the end.The mobile phone is the most disruptive tool for human beings, because it has the ability that other tools do not have: the ability to integrate!

Mobile phones are the last tool of mankind!

The mobile phone is advancing towards the human brain, and eventually it will be integrated with our soul and flesh. Is "the unity of man and machine" the realm of "the unity of man and nature" that Lao Tzu said?

Cell phone, My God!What kind of future will you subvert?Your phone is your god!Master the closely related world, and you will seize the opportunity!
Impress the world with your mobile phone,
Open your mind with your phone,

Use your mobile phone to open up wealth,
Mobile phone is your primary development opportunity to win the future!
