Uncle HP pondered:
Yeah. Steve, you say that this gadget of yours…
(Yes. Steve, you said this gadget of yours…)
…is for ordinary
people
. On earth would ordinary people want with computers?
(But who wants to use computers?)
It is said that IBM founder Watson Sr. once said, "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers". Only need five computers in the world? Yes, that was said to be in 1943. A few years ago it was probably just a joke, but after the concept of cloud computing it seems to be different - I really want to know if this sentence was entered into the search box results 5 years ago What will it be.
After the emergence of new historiography, which claims to write the history of the general public, some people like to consider issues from the standpoint of basic human needs-for example, people need to eat, and things cost money. Wait a minute, are these really "basic"? Is it really not some kind of ideological influence? From the perspective of "life", reproduction seems to be the first need, but people probably don't think about it every day - if you are a Freudian, please take a step to speak. computer? Why do people need computers? It seems old Watson and Uncle Hewlett-Packard are both left-leaning.
The "living conditions of ordinary people" before the Industrial Revolution in Britain is a controversial academic issue. The introduction of the potato is said to have saved many people from starvation, but the potato did not gain a good reputation in the minds of the British people because most people believed that the potato lowered their standard of living. From the investigation of anthropologists, we can see that the Modern Stone Man will definitely have a day of leisure after a long day of work that is not very hard, and they spend less than half of their lives to solve the problem of eating; from sociologists In our survey, we saw that the old farmers in the countryside would rather eat bran and pharyngeal vegetables for the rest of their lives to have a decent appearance on the day they marry their daughters. Is their biggest concern really that "basic"?
When Apple II was released, the crowd swarmed like a rock star at a concert. ──And they were worried about whether anyone would come.
When I was in elementary school, my father bought a "Chinese Learning Machine". My dad is not a hacker, not even a science and engineering background. There seem to be several books on BASIC at home, and I'm just writing my essays on them - using "natural code". The neighbor's eldest brother used a code to print a picture of Gao Fei as a New Year's card for me. He went to China Unicom after graduating from college.
The biggest function of this learning machine is probably this. As for what exactly Dad is using it for, I don't really understand.
You see, ordinary people need computers too. Although you don't know exactly what they're using it for. ──But what are we using the iPad for now?
The last test is one:
Regarding the grievances between Microsoft and Apple, according to the chronology listed by Baidu, it is slightly different from the description in the movie:
January 1984: Apple's Macintosh is released. Based on the Motorola 68000 microprocessor. 16M can be addressed.
November 1985: Microsoft Windows released. But it has not been widely used in its 3.0 version. Requires DOS support, similar to the operating interface of the Mac, and was sued by Apple. The proceedings were not terminated until August 1997.
16, 1997: Apple encounters a serious financial crisis, and Microsoft lends a helping hand, injecting $150 million. Condition is that Apple drops its complaint: Microsoft's lawsuit for imitating its Windows interface, noting that Apple also imitated XEROX's design.
"Silicon Valley Pirates" should be talking about this incident in 1997. It's just that in the movie, it seems that windows is used before the macintosh, and Gates has become the big villain in the movie. Judging from such a chronology, Gates is more like a science and engineering man praised by his sisters: dull, withdrawn, practical, industrial age. Jobs is more like an art man.
