Chapter 982: That Great Man
If you had to choose one of the greatest inventions in the forty years from now until 2020, what would you choose?
IS IT THE WORLD'S FIRST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE MOTOROLA MOBILE PHONE THAT WILL BE LAUNCHED THE YEAR AFTER NEXT, OR IS IT THE IPHONE THAT HAS CHANGED LIVES AGAIN?
Is it a 3G network that implements the networking function of mobile phones, or is it a wireless IFI function?
IS IT A TITTER THAT MAKES COMMUNICATION MORE CONVENIENT? OR HAS IT BECOME THE FACEBOOK OF THE ONLINE WORLD? OR IS IT WECHAT WITH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS THAT HAS BUILT A SMALL CIRCLE? OR HAS IT BECOME A WECHAT THAT HAS BECOME A GROUP OF DEMONS?
Yin Jun felt that none of this was true.
The greatest invention is the most precondition for these inventions.
。
The academic name is the Global Information Network, and the Chinese people commonly call it the World Wide Web.
To put it bluntly, with this thing, you can browse other websites smoothly through various servers - that is, you can surf the Internet through it.
With the premise of the network, there will be various network communication tools that will be developed through the network in the future, and there will be a future that no one dares to imagine as brilliant as Apple and smart phones!
Without it for internet connectivity, Apple would be just a phone that could make phone calls, and it would look better at best.
Without the World Wide Web, we wouldn't be able to see any Titters today, >
To put it a little more technically, although there was the Internet in the 60s, it could only transmit some data, find documents, files, etc., and belonged to a small range of networks, which could not link various hosts and servers, and there was no transmission protocol, and of course there was no way to see the colorful web pages we see now.
What makes a web page complete?
It must contain moving pictures, links, music, programs, etc., so that we see the web page every day.
And that's what this agreement covers.
If you look at it, all the open pages appear in English above, and the beginning must be "." The end is definitely ".html", but there are some pages that simplify these representations.
It is precisely because the html hypertext protocol is grafted onto the Internet that we can see these illustrated web pages today. It is only with our colorful online life that everything has changed.
The unity of the two comes from the merit of only one person.
He was the British scientist and computer scientist -- Tim Berners Lee.
If you watch the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics carefully, you will find that the sixth chapter is a bit of a baffling part for ordinary people.
It's called "Frank and Jon Say, Thanks Tim".
A little boy Frank, a little girl Jon, in a series of wonderful performances, a slightly bald middle-aged man in a beige suit, sitting at a humble desk, on a NeXT workbench computer, typing a line.
“This is for eveyone”
This line of words spread to every corner of the five continents of the world along with the TV screen.
Then he stood up with a smile, smiled shyly, raised his hands, and waved to the audience and everyone in front of the TV.
Yin Jun didn't know what others thought when they saw this scene, anyway, he felt a little tearful.
This is a great scientist and computer expert.
He could have become the super-richest man in the world like never before.
What Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Ma Yun, Zuckerberg, etc., tied together will not be richer than him.
As long as he patents the World Wide Web, this invention that belongs to him alone can make all the people who go online in the world pay him patent fees, and hundreds of billions of dollars are just a fraction!!
But Tim Berners Lee didn't.
Although living in an era where patents are rampant, inventions are everywhere to create wealth.
Although he knew that this would definitely make his family rich and have endless money.
The decision he made was the sentence above.
This is for eveyone。
Gratis.
Give the Internet free to everyone in the world.
Let everyone enjoy the fun and happiness brought by the development of technology and the Internet.
This is the simple and great idea of this great man.
Time magazine named Tim Berners Lee one of the 100 most outstanding scientists in the world of all time, and said that the World Wide Web belongs to Tim Berners Lee alone.
Its comment reads: "Unlike all the inventions that drive the course of humanity, this is purely the fruit of individual labor. The significance of his invention in the development of information globalization can be compared to ancient printing. ”
You might say that Tim Berners Lee is a fool, and even though he collects royalties, it won't affect his great invention and won't prevent him from going down in history.
But people are not willing to make money by this, thinking that the technology Internet belongs to everyone in the world, and they can't selfishly encroach on it, but should open it up and release it so that everyone can have it.
However, you have to respect this great scientist, it is with such a great person in the world that we can feel a trace of warmth in this human world full of red fruit interests and affection.
It was on the NeXT workbench computer that Tim typed the first web page in human history.
Now, in 2012, he used the same NeXT workbench computer to express his blessings again.
There is no doubt that Yin Jun thinks that this is a great moment, which is more desirable and loved than when Bill Gates stood on the throne of the richest man in the world and pointed out the country.
Even Tim Berners Lee's Titter fans are only a few hundred thousand, which is less than one percent of our domestic celebrities, and even the number of online broadcasters can be dozens of times more.
But does this detract from Tim Berners-Lee's greatness?
Not at all!
In Yin Jun's opinion, a scientist like this should be awarded more honorary awards, so that he can be respected and loved by everyone.
There is a saying that sooner or later, the Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded to Tim Berners Lee, not only because he deserves it, but also because the Nobel Prize is awarded to him, which is even more honorable.
Of course, in fact, Tim Berners Lee has won many awards, such as British knights, foreign academicians of the National Academy of Sciences, Turing Awards, etc., and in this life, in addition to hundreds of millions, billions of dollars, everything else he has can be said to be very satisfied.
Tim Berners Lee is also wildly loved and sought after among people in the industry.
IN FACT, WHY IS ANDROID FREE? YOU'RE A FOOL TO BE GOOGLE? ISN'T THAT BECAUSE ANDROID IS BASED ON LINUX, AND LINUS, THE INVENTOR OF LINUX, SAID AT THE BEGINNING OF HIS INVENTION THAT ALL USERS OF LINUX MUST BE FREE AND OPEN?
Linus Tooise is a die-hard crazy fan of Tim Berners Lee!
And Yin Jun went to Europe this time to meet Tim Berners Lee, his idol.
Of course, he wasn't going to simply visit an idol, or to buy a patent for the World Wide Web—it was almost nine years before Tim Berners Lee released the first web page on the World Wide Web.
Besides, Tim Berners Lee's personality is decided, and even if Yin Jun tries to impress him with money, he won't pay attention to it.
Yin Jun definitely can't be this kind of villain.
In his opinion, Tim Berners Lee's free opening of the World Wide Internet is one of the most commendable decisions in the world.
Just like if INDOS does not open and open the free platform, it is absolutely impossible for all kinds of computer programs, software and games to develop so rapidly, and the development of science and technology will not develop so fast.
If the World Wide Web had been charged from the beginning, there would have been very few people who could afford it, and many smart people who had no money but had brains would naturally not be able to invent and create on it.
Let's not talk about anything else in the 80s and 90s, in 2003, when Mark Zuckerberg invented the great Facebook in his dormitory at Harvard University, if he faced the World Wide Web as soon as he went online, he had to pay for the World Wide Web, and the longer it was used, the higher the fee, in this world, will there still be Facebook, a software that communicates the world?
Therefore, the open World Wide Web is even greater than the open INDOS system!
When Yin Jun went to Europe this time, not only did he not want to persuade Tim Berners Lee to build a fee-based World Wide Web, but he also wanted to vigorously subsidize him, so that he could get the World Wide Web out as soon as possible and open it to all computer enthusiasts in the world as soon as possible.
In this way, all kinds of software can emerge, spread, and promote the development of networks and technologies like mushrooms after a rain.
In particular, all kinds of special effects production software, hardware, and all kinds of talents that Yin Jun needs can continue to emerge and be used by Yin Jun.
Of course, this is a process.
After all, it was only in the last year that Tim Berners Lee began to have this idea for the World Wide Web, and slowly began to invent and integrate the existing conditions.
Even if Yin Jun went to Europe and told Tim Berners Lee what a mature World Wide Web is like, and what needs to be done to make better web pages, browsers, etc., he needs time to digest before he can apply it in practice.
Yin Jun can't do this by himself, he can only provide advice, and it is impossible for him to go into battle by himself.
To put it bluntly, in this era of even the INDOS system, in the era when there are no dual-core and quad-core processors, GPUs and CPUs are extremely inefficient, he can't even use a computer freely, let alone develop programs and software in it.
That's not his specialty at all.
