Chapter 1544 Internet Accelerator (Second update, please subscribe)
"This is a gift to the whole world."
Being on the university campus, looking at the content in the school newspaper, Li Yixuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said to himself:
"Perhaps, you can send an email to Zhenzhen."
The reason why he came up with this idea is that it is very inconvenient to make long-distance calls to the main island. The number of lines is limited and requires long queues, and it is expensive. So they write letters more often.
"E-mail..."
Soon, Li Yixuan applied for an email address on campus.
As soon as he arrived at the computer center, he saw a long queue in front of the center.
"What? Are you all here to apply for an email address?"
When asked, Li Yixuan was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that he would need to queue up here.
"Yes, email is great. It doesn't cost money. Yixuan, come on, let's line up together and apply together later..."
This is the first time that such a scene has appeared in the computer center. People come here to surf the Internet and apply for e-mails. On this day, for the first time, the Internet has truly entered people's lives.
And email is very useful.
This is a method of communication that does not require many device resources. Although people at this time cannot predict how far the electronic computer industry will develop by leaps and bounds in the future. But after the Spring Festival of this year, applying for an email address became a trend on university campuses in Nanyang, not just because it is "cheap" and does not require spending money to send emails to various universities. , and more importantly, in the past few years, the Internet centered on various universities has taken initial shape, and almost all universities are connected through the Internet to become a whole.
And this is the realistic basis for achieving all this.
What is different from the other world is that thanks to the prototype of this "academic network", there are not only about a few hundred network users after the launch of email, but hundreds of thousands of network users. The reason for this The reason for the large number of users is the computer center of the university. Although the equipment and network connection costs in this era are very expensive, the open computer center on the university campus makes it convenient for everyone.
Just when college students thought it was fashionable to have an email address and were queuing up to send emails to their friends, newspapers and news began to report on this "new invention."
"A gift to all mankind!"
Looking at the words in the newspaper, Li Yian nodded in agreement, and then said to himself:
"It cannot be exaggerated..."
He said this because it was the emergence of email that eventually became the basic tool for using computers to communicate with distant communicators, changing the way people communicate.
It was also starting from email that the Internet entered human life in a real sense. Because of communication, people entered the Internet one after another. Just like the rapid rise of penguins back then, didn't they rely on making friends?
Although email is not a dating software, it has made computers a tool for people to communicate.
And this is the dawn of the Internet era!
"It's four years ahead of schedule."
In the past few years, Li Yian has been waiting for someone to invent a dating software or email, or even a chat room.
In fact, whether he is waiting or looking forward to it, he is nothing more than looking forward to the dawn of the Internet era.
After communication is the first step, certain customers will emerge. With customers as the foundation, market investment will follow.
Then there will be a new era.
In fact, Li Yian can do all this on his own, but instead of working hard there and pushing things forward, he is now more inclined to promote independent private research and development, and what he needs is good hardware and support in certain fields.
Like Internet between universities and computer centers on campus, these require a lot of money.
Unlike the earliest Internet in the United States, which was built on a military network, Sea's Internet was built between universities. Because of this, in the past few years, various universities have spent a lot of money to establish this academic network. .
This academic network is the prototype of the world's Internet. Compared with the United States, this kind of Internet that exists between campuses is easier to popularize. After all, college students are more likely to accept new things.
Now they are queuing up to apply for e-mail addresses, and queuing up outside the computer center waiting to go in to send and receive e-mails.
This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen in the military Internet. However, the military also has its own Internet, which is almost a dedicated network and dedicated line.
After putting down the newspaper, Li Yian called Zhang Zheyuan and said to him:
"Zheyuan, have you ever heard of email?"
Zhang Zheyuan quickly replied:
"I saw it in the newspaper and it seems to be very popular in universities recently."
In this land, the media is extremely concerned about many new things, so after the email appeared, they reported it one after another.
As one of the hottest topics recently, Zhang Zeyuan has certainly heard of email.
"That's because only the university has the Internet and a computer center. Well, isn't the official residence also connected to the Internet? Let's apply for an email address in the official residence too!" After thinking about it, Li Yian said:
"The email address can be made public to the public, and they are welcome to send emails to the official residence. In addition..."
After a pause, Li Yian thought about how to connect the Internet from schools to the public and to thousands of households. This will definitely require a process of popularization.
In another world, how did the United States popularize the Internet?
Li Yian is not sure, but at the beginning, both computer and Internet fees must have been very expensive and may not be affordable by ordinary people.
"We must find ways to promote the popularization of the Internet. At the beginning, some companies and institutions must have been the first to get involved in the Internet. After all, its usage cost is very high. How to popularize the Internet in this case?..."
< br>
As Li Yian spoke, he thought about how the Internet would be popularized in Dongda in another world.
In the beginning, it was an Internet cafe!
It seems that the Internet cafe I found at Dongda University was set up by a telecommunications company. It has five or six computers and is more about providing Internet services than making money.
Li Yian once heard his father mention that the first time he went online was in the computer room of the university, and the first time he went online outside the campus was in the telecommunications company building. It cost the price of two bowls of beef noodles for an hour.
You can definitely learn this.
"Well, Zeyuan, remember, every public library should be connected to the Internet and have one or two computers for people to browse,"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The reason why libraries are mentioned is that the public library in Sea is the most popular public institution. Not only are there libraries in the city, but libraries have already been planned during the construction of various communities. Libraries cultivate people's habit of reading and studying.
Since there is such a public institutional foundation, it should naturally be utilized. Taking public libraries as the center, let people understand and access the Internet. .
"At the same time, the telephone and telegraph company should also set up a network center that can provide Internet browsing services for a fee."
What matters is the experience!
Whether it is Internet access on university campuses or telecommunications companies, it is more of an experience for young people, allowing them to experience the convenience of the Internet. You can feel the changes that the Internet will bring to your life.
In this process, as long as some people's awareness of innovation is stimulated, it is possible to bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire world.
Compared with many other inventions, most inventions and innovations in the Internet era are born in the hands of young people, even on campus.
The current arrangement is the support provided by Li Yian, which increases people's access to the Internet through official investment.
Thereby stimulating people's enthusiasm for the Internet to the greatest extent. This is what Li Yian needs to do now.
After writing down your Excellency's instructions with a note, Zhang Zeyuan said.
"Sir, I'm afraid the expenditure in this area is not small. This means that each public library must increase its budget by tens of thousands of dollars, and it also needs to take into account expenses such as daily maintenance. This expenditure may be as high as hundreds of millions of dollars."
As the director of the official residence's secretary office, Zhang Zeyuan often plays the role of a staff member, so he will put forward some opinions and insights in a timely manner.
"Moreover, electronic computers are being phased out very quickly. The computers we buy this year may be outdated next year. In addition, taking into account factors such as computer maintenance,
The one-time large-scale purchase of thousands of computers will not only cost a lot, but will also cause a series of problems in maintenance and other aspects.
So, can we narrow the scope a little and first provide three or four electronic computers to the central library, which will have a larger scale and a wider audience.
Then, it will take two to three years to provide electronic computers to each library. This will not only reduce annual financial pressure, but also ensure that the purchased electronic computers will not fall behind. ”
After listening to Zhang Zeyuan's suggestion, Li Yian nodded and said:
"Well, your suggestion is very good. Let's write a report and outline the plan. It doesn't need many words, just a simple plan. That's it."
After Zhang Zeyuan left the office, Li Yian read the news in the newspaper for the first time and looked at the world's first email mentioned in the news.
Li Yian said to himself:
"The most critical thing is computers. We still need to have cheap enough electronic computers. Only in this way can we truly popularize the Internet."
When he said these words, Li Yian's tone was full of expectations. What he was looking forward to was the Internet era full of opportunities and possibilities. It was the Internet that turned the earth into a global village, and it was the Internet that changed the world. of this world.
"Now we have optical cables, computers, the Internet, and e-mail...what is left?"
Now there is only the last step left, which is the relatively cheap electronic computer. Its emergence will fundamentally change the future of all mankind!
But there is no need to rush about this matter. Soon, Li Yian believes that the market will respond soon. The market is always so magical and it can always respond appropriately at the appropriate time.
Aren’t many high-tech things just toys for the rich when they were first launched? But soon due to market demand, those companies will reduce production costs through continuous improvements, and eventually the toys of the rich will become daily necessities for ordinary families.
Looking forward to the arrival of this change, Li Yian couldn't help but cast his eyes on the calendar, and then said to himself:
"This year is now, everything will change. This year is so exciting!"
