I have finally waited for this day.

Catherine sat on the sofa and looked at the reporter from Time Magazine with a smile.

The reporter said: "Hello, Miss Edson, my name is Jim Green. It's a pleasure to interview you."

What's the deal with a name that sounds like junior high school English?

"Hello, Mr. Green." Catherine smiled: "Speaking of which, this should be my second time in Time Magazine."

"Time" is the most influential news weekly in the United States and is known as the "treasury" of the world.

Even Catherine is quite concerned about being in Time Magazine.

"I still remember that when you accepted an exclusive interview with Time Magazine, I had just entered Time." The reporter also followed Catherine and asked, "Ms. Edson, what were you doing there back then?"

When you were being interviewed, did you ever think that you would build such an electronic empire today?"

"I have fantasized about it a little bit, but at the time I didn't think it would be possible. But people can only make progress if they have dreams."

What Catherine said was pure nonsense.

"Speaking of which, your development process is really miraculous. It's no wonder that some people call you the 'Magic Princess'..."

"Didn't you, Time Magazine, come up with this nickname?" Catherine complained a little.

The other party was a little embarrassed, but he was a reporter after all, so he quickly changed the subject: "I have read your "Information Revolution" some time ago. To be honest, if I had read this "Piaotian Literature" before this year,

The concept spread to the public... In just one year, I suddenly discovered that the world next to me no longer seemed to be the America I knew. This was actually the same as in your film "Soul Reaction"

Description

Somewhat close.”

The reporter praised Catherine's "Information Revolution", which is considered to be a perfect flattery.

"The world is always developing. A technology like my Piaotian Literature can make the communication between the world more perfect and complete. In the next 30 years, my main job is to transform the entire world into a powerful one."

A world connected by wired and wireless networks has turned the entire world into a 'global village'."

"Global village? This concept is really amazing."

The other party exclaimed.

"With the emergence of radio, television, the Internet and other electronic media, as well as the rapid development of various modern transportation methods, the time and space distance between people has suddenly shortened, and the entire world has shrunk into a village. This is the 'global village'

.However, this concept was not proposed by me, but by Canadian communication scientist M.

In 1967, Mr. McLuhan described the development of astronomy in his "Understanding Media: The Extension of Man"; it is a concentrated expression of the information network era; it is a formation of the knowledge economy era, and the rapid development of modern transportation and communication technology

The upgrading and application of network technology have enabled the formation of a 'global village'

"But Catherine also understood the other party. She explained: "Mr. McLuhan believes that the main meaning of 'global village' is not that the developed media has made the earth smaller, but that it refers to the way people communicate and their society and culture.

The form has undergone major changes. The development of transportation once made the original '

With the urbanization of villages, direct communication between people has been forced to interrupt, and the direct and colloquial communication has turned into indirect and written communication. And the electronic media is implementing anti-urbanization, that is, "re-

"Villageization" dismantles the centralized power of cities and returns people's way of communication back to individual-to-individual communication."

“Eliminating the centralized power of the city?”

"Yes, on the Internet, everyone is equal. Whether it is a high-ranking billionaire or a penniless beggar: whether the other person is a Muslim or a communist. McClure

Mr. Han said: "The city no longer exists, only as a cultural ghost to attract tourists. Any small restaurant on the roadside plus its TV, newspaper

Papers and magazines can be as international as New York and Paris.' In my personal opinion, the 'global village' is just a part of the global integration process. Humanity's history is still very short, and we still have many years to come.

It will take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to go. Compared with the rich history, we are still too young now."

"Integrating the world economy is good news, but unfortunately... so far, it seems difficult for us to achieve this goal." The reporter was naturally referring to the Soviet Union.

"However, globalization is not always positive - globalization means that the instability of the global economy will become a normal state. In the process of economic globalization, the interdependence of the economies of various countries will be unprecedentedly strengthened. No.

The foreign trade dependence of a few countries has exceeded 300, and some countries have reached 50% to 60% - such as Japan now.

In this environment, the international contagion of economic fluctuations and crises has become regular and inevitable. The internal imbalances of any country will be reflected as external imbalances, which will soon affect the countries with close trade and investment relations.

countries, it is very likely that in the end all countries will be led into a state of imbalance and crisis to varying degrees.

"When she said this, Catherine was thinking of Soros sweeping across Southeast Asia...

"Is this your prediction for the future?"

"Yes, although it has various shortcomings, in the long run, I am still optimistic about the process of world integration. The Internet is the most convenient tool to achieve globalization."

"It looks like your Internet is indeed a magical thing."

"The Internet is just the beginning." In fact, when she said this, Catherine was thinking more about online games, forums, and hacker attacks and defenses, rather than the development and progress of technology...

"Some time ago, we heard that your American telecommunications company cooperated with Japan and Europe respectively and began to lay two undersea optical fibers."

"Yes, this is one of our strategies to bring the world closer."

"I think your technology has triggered a profound social change.

The Internet has now entered the world as a new and powerful media organization and system, and our "Times" even plans to open an electronic version." The reporter looked quite envious.

"Thanks for the compliment."

Catherine still has a sense of superiority.

"Since the development of your technology, it has caused an incredible change. In your opinion, where is the most critical key to changing the future?"

"One by one lies in the development of supercomputers."

"The Galaxy Computer has a speed of one billion operations per second, which is really remarkable. But, does this have any important relationship with the development of our society?"

"Of course there are, and there are many." Catherine said: "Our computers can be widely used in various fields. We can use weather forecasting as an example. Supercomputers can predict future weather based on current cloud changes: on airplanes

In the manufacturing field, we can use supercomputers to simulate wind tunnels

Engraving tests help manufacturers complete a series of simulation tests, even some tests that are difficult to complete in reality. Supercomputers can help people save a lot of material, human and financial resources, and can shorten the development cycle. In short

In short, the emergence of supercomputers has made people’s access to new technologies faster.”

"This reminds me of transmission gears." The other person smiled.

The speed change gear appeared on the Microsoft Type 2 computer. Atari Cassette Company developed a software that can use the Microsoft Type 2 computer to simulate the Xbox running, and this speed change gear is used to simulate the Microsoft Type 2 computer.

When used with an Xbox game cartridge on a computer, the speed can be increased by up to 300% of the original speed.

This reporter seems to be a computer enthusiast.

It is true that if they did not have experience in this area, it would definitely be difficult for them to cope with Catherine when they met her.

The reporter asked again: "Then how do you judge the future of the computer industry?"

"Our future computer development will definitely be different from now. First of all, computers will become as popular as today's telephones. In that era, it was nothing for people to have computers, but people who didn't even have computers.

, will be considered different.”

"Your judgment seems a little different from others."

Catherine raised her eyebrows: "Of course. There are still many people who think that the computer industry should actually be commercial, but I personally think that the fields that computers can involve are also many for ordinary people.

In the future, our computer will become a terminal device that integrates audio-visual entertainment and become the only choice for people's life and study."

If you only position computers as business machines, you would be underestimating computers.

"In my opinion, the next trend of computers should be high performance, and then portable phones. I believe that in 30 years, we will be able to lift computers with one hand and carry them with us anytime, anywhere.

Work, surf the internet and play games.”

"Your wisdom does not match your age."

"No, I'm just good at discovering and analyzing problems." Catherine said modestly.

"I heard that your "Soul Reaction 3" has been completed. I wonder what you think of the future?"

"Soul Reaction 3" has been completed before, but it will still take a while to be released.
