The development of artificial intelligence is a long process, and Li Zetian does not know how far he can develop it in his lifetime. Either way, striving in this direction is bound to be astounding.
In 1981, the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry was willing to invest 850 million US dollars to develop artificial intelligence computers that could talk, translate languages, interpret pictures, and reason like humans.
Li Zetian can't be compared to Japan!
Investment in cutting-edge technology, although it is difficult to generate economic benefits in a short period of time, but to become an industry leader in this area, early investment is essential.
In fact, IBM has long established an artificial intelligence laboratory, and Li Zetian's action is very late. However, because the mid-to-late 1970s was an artificial intelligence winter, the development of artificial intelligence was relatively slow, and the orphan umbrella artificial intelligence laboratory was fully capable of catching up with them.
Just when Li Zetian set up the umbrella artificial intelligence laboratory, Apple released the iMac desk lamp all-in-one computer.
When the computer was released, it was a huge sensation.
Because of its novel and unique design, it immediately won the love of countless users.
On the day the iMac was officially released, the doors of Apple's flagship store were about to be smashed.
In the words of the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, "It's not a computer, it's a work of art!"
Gabriel Chaplin, president of the American Computer Society, also agreed, saying: "The design of the iMac is so beautiful, it's so cool, and its design alone is enough to win the IDEA Award, the highest honor in the field of industrial design in the United States!! !"
At present, the original artificial intelligence is very popular, and the media has been reporting it. But as soon as the iMac came out, the media left the headlines for it.
Many people were surprised when they saw the iMac.
"Fuck, Apple actually designed such a computer, it's too awesome, there is no doubt that it will be popular all over the world!!!"
"On the TV news, Apple's flagship store is full of people, and almost all of them go to buy iMacs. But I have to say, the iMac is so beautiful, even though it costs $1,200, it is more expensive than many brands of computers, but I can't help but want to buy it! Put it at home or on your desk, no matter how you look at it, it looks very cool!"
"I heard that ios·Li designed it, I'll go, and I'll do it too. Except for a genius like him, who designed this kind of computer!"
"Apple has really changed dramatically. Before Chronos Li didn't come back, it was about to go bankrupt. Looking at it now, Apple is simply awesome. The CD-Walkman has swept the Walkman market and has no rivals. , the iMac computer also seems to have monopolized the high-end computer market! Other computer companies can only stare blankly!"
"Hehe, without Chronos Li, Apple is worthless. With him, even a piece of shit can be sold for a good price."
"..." Someone from a computer hobby club was speechless.
"Hey man, don't compare shi to what Chronos Li has designed? Without his genius of creativity and design, Apple would have been out of business! This suddenly reminded me of John Davidson. Rockefeller once said a clear statement: 'If you strip me penniless and leave me in the middle of the desert, as long as a camel caravan passes by - I can rebuild an entire dynasty' Obviously, Chronos Li is also such a person, rebuilding Apple. Business Dynasty!!!"
…
"The newspapers are praising you, why are you so calm?" Yu Jingqiu laughed.
Li Zetian is currently developing in the laboratory in the basement of his home. He raised his head to look at Yu Jingqiu and said with a smile: "Don't you know, I'm already used to it. By the way, the optical fiber at home has been laid and can be connected to the world. There are more than 100 famous schools, BBS is very interesting, you can experience it.”
"What is BBS?" Yu Jingqiu wondered.
"The full name is called the electronic bulletin board system. Through the ARPANET, information can be published on it for people to browse! In 1978, the earliest BBS system was developed in Chicago, USA. Thanks to the joint efforts of the personal computer, the first version of the BBS system for personal computers was finally completed. Since all the source programs of this BBS system are made public, almost all schools and research institutions are using the BBS system.”
"In other words, I can exchange information with my fellow students from Harvard University through BBS!" Yu Jingqiu said with great interest.
"Yes!" Li Zetian nodded.
Yu Jingqiu's curiosity was raised, and under the guidance of Li Zetian, he immediately entered the BBS system of Harvard University. Looking at the information above, many of them were related to Li Zetian.
"Chronos·Li has designed another awesome product!!!"
"Apple is set to regain the PC supremacy with the iMac!"
"On the good and bad of dropping out of school to start a business!!"
"Who is Harvard's most successful student of all time?"
"Imagine the future of artificial intelligence!"
"… "
=========
"Wow, BBS is so lively!" Yu Jingqiu exclaimed in surprise.
How much information is this also called lively
Li Zetian shook his head, smiled, but did not speak.
Yu Jingqiu said: "BBS is really a great invention. With it, people from all over the world can communicate through it!"
Li Zetian said with a smile: "BBS is really good, but with the popularity of the Internet and the emergence of new technologies, BBS will be replaced by other things sooner or later. In the future, we can sit at home and know the world's affairs through the Internet! You play, I will go. Research work."
"OK."
Yu Jingqiu, who was bored at home, was already full of interest in BBS.
…
A week after the iMac was on sale, Jobs called Li Zetian to report on the sales.
"Mr. Li, iMac computers are so popular, we sold 50,000 units in just one week!!! At the same time, a large number of people poured into the flagship store, which also greatly promoted Apple-ll, CD-Walkman promotion of… "
The Walkman has been discontinued, and the Apple-ll PC is still sold as a low-end machine, with a slightly upgraded hardware. The Apple-ll is a classic computer that has been selling well until now.
Li Zetian's face lit up with joy, and he said a few words of persistent efforts, and then ended the call. He is very satisfied with the sales of the iMac.
"The development of personal computers in this computer is really fast. The number of users of personal computers is probably at least one million more than in the previous life..." Li Zetian murmured. Although there is no statistics, it can be calculated from Apple's own sales. Probably, one million is definitely just the most conservative number.
Due to the rapid development of office software such as Word, Excel, Oracle and computer games, the demand for personal computers has surged. In addition, major enterprises have entered the personal computer market one after another, and together they have made the personal computer market bigger, and the development momentum has far exceeded Li Zetian's imagination.
"There are a lot of personal computer users in the United States. Now, Galaxy Network has developed the "Galaxy Router". If it builds the backbone of the Internet and provides dial-up Internet services, it should be very profitable!"
