"Haha, there are reasons and evidence. The facts are in front of us. There seems to be no reason not to believe it! The market value of 8000 billion U.S. dollars, my God!! Zuckerberg estimates that he will wake up laughing from his dreams now!"
"No no! You are wrong, that person should be Jeff Bezos and Amazon, look at Bezos's emotional magic tweet, although the whole paragraph is composed of the same word, but the connotation is super Rich!"
"Agreed, but am I the only one who thinks that way? I think Jeff is probably regretting it now, regretting why he only invested 3000 million at the beginning? Why not 3 million US dollars? No! Why didn't he just buy it!"
"Hey, almost all the big names in technology have joined this luxurious lunch, why is Gates silent? This is unscientific!"
"When did Paige get so funny?"
Driven by a chain of various effects, the Internet news during this period has been savaged by quantum computers, and it seems to have become the focus of the whole people. These reactions can also explain the impact of this technological progress on the entire world.
The birth of the quantum computer has as much influence on the entire human being as the birth of the world's first electronic computer "Eniac".
However, in the context of today's era, the speed of news dissemination is far from comparable to that of the era of "Eniak" in the last century. As a result, this invention that affects the entire human civilization caused a sensation in the entire world once it appeared.
In almost one day, more than two-thirds of Internet users and more than 27 billion people got the news on the same day.
The fluidity of information in the era of Internet sharing is once again fully demonstrated.
In a certain area of California, USA, a room with black and white colors is very simple and pleasing to the eye. An old man is sitting in front of the computer without saying a word, and the room is slightly dim. At this moment, the local time It is already deep into the night.
The old man's face is covered with snow-white beard and white hair. He is over 70 years old. According to ten years ago, this age has already entered the end of life.
But in today's era, 70 years old is only half the journey for human beings.
"It's time to sleep! Kevin!" A voice sounded in the quiet room.
"I will go to rest soon! You should also rest." The old man in front of the computer said with a vicissitudes of life.
The old man's name is Kevin Kelly. For this name, if a person considers himself a Silicon Valley person, if he does not know this name, he will pretend to be a Silicon Valley person.
Kevin Kelly is the founding editor-in-chief of the famous American magazine Wired, and he even has the title of "Prophet".
He has successfully predicted multiple Internet trends and major trends in his works. Kevin Kelly made predictions for the trends and concepts in the next 30 to [-] years at the end of the last century.
With the passage of time, until today, his predictions have become reality one by one, such as the rise of Internet public wisdom such as big data, cloud computing, 3D printing, blogs, screen reading, wikis, etc.
Kevin Kelly is also known as the "Spiritual Father of Silicon Valley" and "Godfather of the World Internet", and he deserves his name.
However, at this moment, the "Godfather of Silicon Valley" looks solemn when looking at the computer screen. In fact, he hasn't smiled much in recent years.He is following the latest news in the world at present.
There is no doubt that the news he is browsing at the moment is about the quantum computer that has been "swiping" the Internet recently.
While the outside world was congratulating mankind on entering the era of quantum computers, Kevin Kelly's face was not excited or even joyful when he heard the news, but solemn.
He sat quietly in front of the computer and closed his eyes to think. After meditating for 10 minutes, he slowly opened his eyes and took out a pair of glasses from the drawer.
He could have never needed glasses again, but he chose not to undergo the "cloning technology" treatment to replace him with a pair of healthy eyes.
After putting on the glasses, the sound of typing on the keyboard gradually sounded, and each word formed a sentence, a paragraph, and finally became a complete article "The news I saw today kept me awake all night, so that I should have fallen asleep and done something a good dream.
And I'm actually writing this article, so maybe you've already guessed what I'm talking about.
Future Technology and D-Wave have jointly produced the first quantum computer in human history. This should be a moment worthy of celebration for all mankind, and it is indeed so.
But when I heard the news, I suddenly felt a kind of depression. I tried to imagine the future, but what I received was suffocating depression and fear.
In the past ten years until now, technology has advanced too fast, really too fast.
It is facing a crisis of getting out of control, and the development of science and technology is gradually facing a trend of getting out of control.
But on the contrary, I strongly encourage everyone to embrace the big wave of technology.I think that whether it is a national government, a business organization or an individual, they should embrace the technological trends of today's era, rather than resisting, resisting or even prohibiting the development of science and technology.
There is no doubt that this is against humanity.
Under today's technological trend, subversive revolutions will occur in all walks of life, and they are all around us, right now. Specifically, we can refer to the company as an example.
720th [-] Chapter Four Untitled
And these disruptors do not come from the industry itself, such as the following examples that have happened around me over time: the disruption of the translation industry a few years ago did not come from the translation industry itself, and the disruption of smart homes and wearable smart devices and smartphones did not come from industry itself.
There are also the medical industry, the entertainment industry, etc. All of these things we have personally experienced do not come from the industries themselves, but new challengers that redefine the industry.
Some newly born technologies have become trends and trends. In the process, while we are embracing the tide of technology, people will also feel anxiety and panic.
For example, artificial intelligence and robots, the advent of the screen reading era has redefined reading, and the trend of paper books going away and gradually disappearing will make people feel panic.
But we still have to embrace all of these in the end, because all of these are major trends and trends, and they are unstoppable. Anyone who tries to go against the current will be completely shattered by the impact of the big wave.
I have almost foreseen what kind of feedback will be received after this article is published. You may say that I am spreading panic and rumors, that I am a big fool and a persecuted paranoid patient, and I don’t care about these.
But what I want to explain most urgently is that the future is not up to me, nor you or anyone else. The outside world equates the name Kevin Kelly with a prophet, and I have been opposing this!
I am not a prophet, and no one is a real expert on the future. The real future is unpredictable, but the future is always worth thinking about, because it is our future!
Quantum computer is the catalyst of technology. The development of technology will show a quantum leap-like rapid development due to the catalyst of quantum computer. In the past, it took several years or even ten years to produce technologies and inventions.
Under the catalysis of quantum computers, it can be done in a few years or even a few months, and its birth will further accelerate the process of promoting technology.
Maybe you will question, isn't this bad?Yes, it's bad because none of us are ready.
Our speed is already under the red siren, and we are still accelerating, which is like walking a tightrope. The speeding vehicle is more likely to cause a car accident.
In the past, it took several years or even longer for new technologies to be born, but in this long process, we have been given enough adaptation stages and perfected his system, so as to smoothly accept the birth of the next new thing and new invention .
But today, the speed of our adaptation is inversely proportional to the speed of technological development and new inventions. We have not fully adapted, and we do not even have a complete and mature system to define new things.
Newer things are born again and are subversive. We are at a loss. We can only feel that technology is developing too fast, and we have been desperately catching up on the road of adaptation and exploration.
We try to catch up with the pace of technological development, but the result is that we are more and more likely to fall to the ground. Maybe we can get up unscathed and continue to catch up.
Maybe we will fall badly on the road of catching up, and we will never even be able to get up.
At present, technology and artificial objects are more and more like life forms, and life is more and more programmed.
The birth of quantum computers makes me feel the biggest worry is artificial intelligence. There is no doubt that quantum computers will promote leapfrog development in this field. Technology may become real life, and technological life will usher in the highest peak of development. Are we humans really ready?
Greed is the original sin of all, and dealing with the devil will make us lost in the abyss.
When we embrace the tide of technology, we must accept supervision and carry out effective control at the same time. If it is inevitable to lose control, then the future will be a disaster.
After writing the article, Kevin Kelly released it. For ten years, he has spared no effort to play the role of warning the world. Therefore, the "Father of Silicon Valley Spirit" has also been called a big fool and panic maker by the outside world, so that His new work is not even seen stateside.
But he never stopped.Not only Kevin Kelly, but Stephen Hawking, a century scholar at the University of Bridge in the UK, also used his influence to express his personal views shortly afterwards.
While acknowledging the birth of quantum computers and being excited about it, he also has matching concerns. Coincidentally, Hawking, like Kevin Kelly, made an in-depth exposition on artificial intelligence.
He believes that in the era of quantum computers, the speed and probability of the birth of artificial intelligence will be unimaginably improved, and he warns the world that artificial intelligence may become the greatest invention of mankind and the last invention of mankind.
