Chapter 1466 The development of the world depends on games (first update, please subscribe)
The world's first video game!
Sometimes, it is born in this way inadvertently.
"Space Invaders" is definitely a ridiculously simple game, at least in Li Yi'an's opinion, it is indeed extremely simple.
But it just came out!
Although he doesn’t know how big the market this game will eventually bring, Li Yian’s emotions are high after leaving the Growth Ladder Fund.
The reason why he is so high is not just because his son developed the world's first video game.
What's more important is that he knows very well what the emergence of video games means.
Not only does it mean that the electronics industry has truly entered ordinary people's homes, it also means the birth of the electronic game industry.
The video game industry is not just about playing!
It is precisely because of the love of countless players for games that the electronic game industry has been upgraded step by step.
Well, the leather-yellow NVIDIA also provides "support" for the gaming industry.
"All this has just begun!"
Recalling the arcades of his childhood, Li Yi'an laughed. Once upon a time, arcades were his favorite place to go when he was young. Arcades were a mixed place, with gamblers, gangsters, and players who loved games. He naturally belonged there. The latter, so the arcade has brought him a lot of joy. It can be said that playing games in the arcade is the time he misses the most.
"Perhaps there will be arcades soon, which should not affect children's learning... Games are not a scourge, they are the source of technological advancement. If there were no games, would there still be NVIDIA?"
In another world, at the beginning, no one could look down on NVIDIA. It just made graphics cards for games. What's the big deal?
Sometimes, things are so magical. Thanks to gamers, NVIDIA rises, and then the dawn of artificial intelligence appears!
Although the original graphics card was not born for games, and today's graphics cards are not only capable of playing games, the rapid development of graphics cards is inseparable from the promotion of games.
This is what the application market drives for products.
No matter how good a product is, without market application, it will eventually disappear. Even if a product has problems at the beginning, as long as there is market demand, it will eventually achieve considerable development.
"Game..."
Li Yian smiled slightly and said:
"Games are electronic drugs. They are clearly a booster for the electronics industry. They will promote the development of everything."
Recalling the past few times when he upgraded his computer and mobile phone just to play games, Li Yian's smile became brighter and brighter.
In fact, not only he is like this, but his friends are also like this, changing consoles for games and mobile phones for games.
If we don't consider meeting the needs of games, there will be no problem in using a computer for seven or eight years, and there will be no problem in using a mobile phone in five or six years.
However, in order to give players a better gaming experience, game companies continue to launch new games, and new games require better hardware to run.
Faced with the temptation of a new game, what else can you do?
Upgrade your computer!
Change your phone!
Relying on the attraction of electronic drugs, players are constantly making money, both on the game itself and on electronic equipment!
Games are the basis for the rise of the electronics industry!
Without the promotion of games, can the progress of the electronics industry be promoted by relying on tasks such as document processing in most enterprises?
"Games are indeed a very, very important driving force..."
In fact, after having enough food and clothing, entertainment is a human instinct. The difference may be that some people think it is okay to eat, drink, have fun and play mahjong, but playing games is just like playing games to lose one's spirit.
But they did not realize that games may be one of the driving forces of world development. Thinking of this, Li Yian naturally thought that in another world, the European Parliament passed the "Game Bill" with a high vote, and games were supported by the EU as a strategic industry.
“Perhaps we can take this as an opportunity to list games as a strategic industry?”
When she was thinking this, Lautrey had already come out. After letting others drive the children to school, she got into the car and looked at Li Yian and said.
"Actually, you don't have to come today."
"I know,"
Li Yian nodded and said:
"As you said, once the Secret Service agents come over, the matter will be solved."
"Then why don't you do it?"
"Well..."
Li Yian thought for a while and said.
"I once heard a saying before that the reason why people oppose privileges is not the privilege itself, but their inability to enjoy the privileges."
"Huh?"
Lautrey looked at him with some confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone wants to enjoy privileges, or as long as they have the opportunity, they want to be the enjoyers of privileges.
They will even go to greater lengths to enjoy and expand their privileges, and take pleasure in doing so. ”
"You mean like a nouveau riche, right?"
Lautrey said:
"They will show off their wealth and the privileges they have because of their wealth, or they think they should have those privileges, right?"
"Almost!"
Li Yian nodded and said:
"There are privileges in this world. I have never denied this. Moreover, I think the existence of privileges has its rationality. However, privileges should not challenge the law."
After thinking for a moment, Li Yian said:
"This matter may be small and can be solved without a phone call or appearance. It is just a child wandering around during school hours, which is simply not worth mentioning. But whether the police officer takes him to the police station or asks his father to come forward to deal with it, They are all rights given to him by the law.
I can refuse and no one will say anything, but others can also use their rights to refuse similar things in the future.
When people are accustomed to using power or privilege to deal with some things, it may be such a trivial matter at the beginning. Later, even when facing the law, what they think of is using their privilege to interfere with the fairness of the law.
At first, it might just be kids skipping class and wandering around, then it might just be kids fighting, and then what? Maybe it was just a couple of kids vying for the upper hand in a bar.
They can all be resolved with a phone call.
Then what?
Maybe it was just that the kids were playing too much together and maybe they hurt someone, maybe they were just a little bit more seriously injured.
When they get used to using privilege to help their children solve problems, the children will also think that power can help them solve everything, and eventually, they will get used to it.
A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an ant nest. By that time, the entire country will be riddled with holes. ”
Li Yian frowned and said:
"Privilege... in fact, the most difficult thing is not to use the privilege. It is to refuse to use the privilege you have!"
This is the most difficult thing!
It can even be said to be the most difficult thing in the world. How many people in this world can resist its temptation?
Lautrey looked at the man beside her and spoke after a long time.
"Dad is right, you are different from most people."
It is indeed different. Until now, he has not been addicted to power. This is very rare. For this, his father has praised him more than once.
"No, actually I'm just an ordinary person, but I know. Some things are like drugs, once you get them, you can't quit.
Privilege is that kind of drug, and the scariest thing about him is that when you enjoy him, you take it for granted. ”
Privilege is like this. It is like a drug. It makes everyone addicted, makes everyone addicted to it, and makes everyone take it for granted. It is also like a poison.
Like a slow poison, it will inadvertently kill the organism in which it lives.
During this process, its body has no sensation. It will die before you know it, just like the Soviet Union.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yian has always been highly vigilant about it. It's not that he doesn't want to enjoy privileges. In fact, he has always enjoyed them, but he knows very well where the boundaries of those privileges are.
"I think your father should have a very deep feeling about this issue, otherwise, he would not let you grow up like an ordinary person."
Looking at the women around me, no matter whether the uncle has problems of one kind or another, he is very successful in educating his children.
In fact, in many cases, the most important point in the training of the second generation is that they develop the idea that they enjoy privileges as a matter of course.
And this is why Li Yian hides the identities of his children and lets them grow up as ordinary people.
Just to prevent them from enjoying privileges and taking it all for granted. When they take it all for granted, they enjoy more than just privilege.
The privileges that money brings are limited.
But the privileges that power brings are unlimited, because power can turn everything into privileges!
It is precisely because of this that he is so vigilant.
"He..."
Lautrey said,
"He feels that it is best for children to at least wait until they are adults before they know their identity. Even if they know it now, it is a bit early..."
All right!
I can only say that there is still a bit of a gap between me and him. My father-in-law can send the children to relatives abroad when they are ten years old, with the main purpose of not letting the children know his identity.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The contract has been signed?"
"Yes, it was signed in my name. Well, if I make money, I will keep it for him."
Lautele looked at Li Yian and said:
"Well, you don't have any objections, do you?"
"What's the point? All mothers in the world are the same."
Li Yian smiled and said:
"Just like my mother often said when I was a child, give me the New Year's money so that I can marry my wife when I grow up. But..."
Suddenly, Li Yian stopped talking. He thought of his mother, parents and family, and his whole mood became a little depressed.
Seeing this, Lautrey quickly held his hand without saying a word. The two just held each other's hands. After a while, Li Yian forced a smile and said:
"I miss them a little!"
"I know!"
Lautrey nodded, she could feel the longing in the man's heart.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted all the way until they sent Lautrey home. They did not go to the company. They were an old couple. They had not seen each other for a few days. Naturally, they had endless things to say. After returning home, As we chatted, we naturally ended up in the bedroom.
By the time everything was over, it was almost ten o'clock.
Until then, the two simply freshened up before leaving the house.
