An online account based on each person's real identity (for example, a WeChat account, a Weibo account, or an online real-name registration account such as a Facebook account), which integrates all aspects of a person's life, such as where he goes every day, consumption items, People contacted every day, information, work content, what time do you eat, how many calories you consume, what time is the exact location, etc. These data are recorded in great detail in this life circle spread out with "true identity" as the center. in the net.
Imagine what such technological advancements will bring?
The heroine's father, played by Emma Watson, suffers from multiple muscular sclerosis, which makes it difficult to move, often falls, and is incontinent. If her father wears a "ring network" bracelet, he will record and monitor various physiological indicators of his body at any time, and upload them in real time, so that the doctor in charge of monitoring or people around him can observe them at any time to avoid accidents.
Another example is the phenomenon of children missing and being tied up. If a chip is implanted in their bones, their whereabouts can be observed anytime, anywhere. Inserting the chip will give immediate feedback and even automatic alarm, so as to avoid the recurrence of the pain of one abducted family after another.
Another fierce.
When enough global registered members joined the "ring network", the heroine in the film conducted a "soul search" test on the spot in a live broadcast speech: Can you search and locate a victim within 20 minutes? Wanted criminals on the run.
The audience of the live broadcast is also a participant in the entire search operation. Everyone uploads, compares, and calculates, analyzes, and filters massive amounts of big data. At 10 minutes and 21 seconds, there are participants who witnessed the crime on the scene, and the real-time live video Wired, let us see this criminal was brought to justice on the spot with the cooperation of all parties.
Well, the above three examples are enough to illustrate this "open, share" technology, and the amazing benefits of co-creation.
Next, let's talk about the other side of this technology.
Because at home, at work, in any indoor place, even in the open air, there are ubiquitous monitors installed.
When you are in danger, your physical health data will be reflected and displayed in a timely manner. Wherever you have been, if someone or a monitor is photographed, your trace will also be revealed in time, so that the rescue operations along the way can be divided into points. Precise every second.
This is the whole process of being rescued when the heroine broke into a raft shop at night and was alone in a dangerous situation while wading in a raft at night.
She is very grateful for this. As a member of the "Ring Network", she is willing to open up her personal life completely and share it with everyone, which is equivalent to today's 24-hour webcast, except for the time in the bathroom.
Because the whole "Ring Network" upholds the concept and purpose is "Sharing is caring" ("sharing is caring"). The heroine has been deeply inspired and inspired since she joined the company as a new employee. After experiencing the immediate benefits brought by the whole technology of "sharing and caring", she is even more convinced that such technology is a bright future. of hope, and that "secrets even lie".
She opened herself up completely and made her whole life transparent to the public. The public can also comment, care, communicate, and interact with her in real time, from which she feels the confidence and support she has never had before.
At one point, when she tried to connect with her parents, to see if they were all right. But the communication tool couldn't connect, so she was in a hurry and kept switching monitors at every location in the house, not in the living room, not on the balcony... She kept switching to the bedroom where her parents were, and saw that they were spending the world together. The scene was watched live by viewers all over the world at the time. So, she turned off the video in a panic, and hurriedly explained the sudden scene to the audience at the same time.
Comments from various countries in English, Chinese, French, Arabic, Korean, etc. are also uploaded and displayed on the entire screen at this time. Like a barrage, you can see the current thoughts of different people in detail.
The second "other side" effect is that
because a good friend Moser installed an antler chandelier in his home, it was accidentally posted on his Ring.net account.
Animal lovers found their opponents in the picture, and began to search her friend Moser for human flesh. They mistakenly believed that Moser had killed deer and continued to denounce him, protesting his cruelty to animals, and someone sent it to Moser. Death threat emails. In order to avoid these harassment and not wanting to be found, Moser went to the forest alone to live in seclusion.
However, in that speech, "Soul Search" was broadcast live. After searching and successfully arresting the fugitive criminal in less than 20 minutes, the audience under the speech seat collectively coaxed the heroine to locate and search for his opposite-sex friend Momo. At the time, an accident happened.
Some of the online audience of the live broadcast became field performers in the search for Moser. They were in high spirits, and because the whole event was in the spotlight, more people joined in one after another. Like paparazzi, they came to the residence in Moser Forest, knocked loudly on the door to let him appear, and finally forced him to escape through the back door and jump into the car. As if they were catching a prey together, the executors on the ground began to pursue his car. In the end, fleeing in a hurry, on a viaduct, Moser and his car crashed out of the bridge.
Technology has indeed brought convenience to life, but it was, is, and will always be just a tool. If the tool itself makes us lose more than the gain, we must consider whether the tool is serving us, or we are serving the tool.
Going back to the starting point of everything, all technologies are created to help people achieve greater happiness and beauty, but they are also destined to have their own shortcomings from the very beginning - solving problems with addition will trigger more chain effects. .
When you are not fully in charge, you will be played by tools.
This is also the core theme of "Ordinary people fear the fruit, and Bodhisattvas fear the cause".
If we really want to solve all problems at the root, then we have to go back to the source of all problems - ourselves.
The following excerpt is the fifth book in the Ringing Cedar series, Who Are We? ", comparing the two, we choose to go the way of addition or subtraction.
Ringing Cedar 5 - Who Are We?
1. Two Civilizations
All of us are in a hurry to get somewhere, to pursue something, and everyone wants to live a happy life, meet true love, and start a family, but can most of us really get what they want?
Our satisfaction or disappointment in life, our success or failure, depends on what? What is the meaning of each individual's life, or the meaning of human existence as a whole? What is waiting for us in the future?
These questions have been around for a long time, but no one has ever been able to give clear answers. I wonder what kind of country we will be living in five or ten years from now? What kind of world will our children live in? But we don't know the answer. Yeah, we really can't imagine our future because we're all rushing to get somewhere, but where is that?
One thing, though surprising, is indisputable: the detailed blueprint of our nation's future was told to me not by analysts or politicians, but by Anastasia, who lives in seclusion in the taiga. Not only did she give me a vision for the future, but she proved that in our generation, it can be done. She actually showed her plans for the development of the country.
As I walked from the glade where Anastasia lives to the river, a firm conviction came to my mind for some reason: her plan could make a big difference in the world. If we consider that everything she envisions will eventually come true in real life, then honestly, we already live in a country that will only get better in the future. I was walking in the taiga, thinking about what the taiga hermit said about the bright future of the country. Maybe my generation can live in a country like this, one without local conflict, gangs, disease and poverty, she said. Although I couldn't understand all her thoughts, I didn't want to be suspicious of what she said this time. On the contrary, I have to prove that everything she said is true.
I made a decisive decision, I will do my best to complete her plan. The plan seemed easy at first glance: as long as each family was given a one-hectare piece of land that they could use in perpetuity, where they could build their ancestral home, their hometown, but I lost my mind on the details of the plan. The plan seems easy and at the same time unbelievable.
Amazing! Not by an agronomist, but by a taiga hermit who proved to us that even the less fertile soils will improve within a few years without fertilizing, provided the land is properly cultivated!
Anastasia mainly takes the case of the taiga as an example: the taiga has grown for thousands of years, and no one has ever fertilized it. She said that everything that grows on the land is the body formed by God's thoughts. He has already arranged everything so that humans do not need to worry about obtaining food, but just try to understand the creator's mind and create beautiful things together with Him.
I can also give an example that I have seen myself. I've been to Cyprus before, and the island's soil is rocky, but it wasn't. Centuries ago, the island had beautiful cedar forests, fruit trees, and most of the rivers flowed with pure fresh water, like a paradise on earth. Later, the Roman army overwhelmed the territory and began to cut down cedars to build ships, and the cedar forests on the island were cut down. Much of the island now has almost dry vegetation left, and even in spring it looks like a patch of burnt withered grass. With less and less rain in the summer and a lack of clean water, residents have to use boats to transport fertile soil to the island. Humans have not perfected the original creation, their savage interference has only made it worse.
Anastasia, describing her plan, said that a family tree must be planted on the land, and that the deceased should not be buried in a cemetery, but should be buried in the beautiful ancestral land they created with their own hands. There is no need for any tombstone in front of the grave, to commemorate a person with living things, not inanimate things. To commemorate relatives with the creation of human life, so that the soul can once again be born in the heavenly paradise on earth in material form.
People buried in cemeteries cannot go to heaven, and their souls cannot be reborn in physical form as long as relatives and friends remember their death. Tombstones are monuments to death, and funerals are conceived by dark forces to imprison human souls, if only temporarily. Our Heavenly Father never caused any pain, not even grief, for his beloved child. All divine creations are eternal, self-sufficient, and self-regenerating. Everything that lives on earth, from a simple grass to human beings, is a complete and eternal harmony.
I think she's absolutely right about this, just look at the situation. Scientists today say that the human mind is material, and if this is the case, then we treat our deceased relatives as the thoughts of the deceased, which is tantamount to trapping them in a state of death and tormenting their souls. Anastasia firmly believes that human beings (or more precisely, human souls) can live forever, constantly reborn in new bodies, but this can only be achieved under certain conditions, and Anastasia is in the The ancestral homeland envisaged in the project can create such conditions. I am totally convinced of this, and as for proving or disproving Anastasia's account of life and death, perhaps it should be left to a more qualified occultist.
"Oh, there will be a lot of people against you," I said to Anastasia, and she just replied with a smile, "It will happen soon, Vladimir. The mind can create objects, change objects, predetermining events, and creating the future, so those who try to prove that human existence is only temporary will end up in self-destruction, because it is the very idea
of People who are of the essence of eternity will live happily and be reborn forever, because such thinking creates a happy eternity for themselves.”
When I started evaluating the economics of the program, I liked the program even more. I believe that anyone who builds an ancestral home according to Anastasia's plan can create a comfortable life for their children and grandchildren, not just food and shelter for their children. Anastasia once said that a fence should be made of living trees and that a quarter of a hectare should be forest. A 2,500-square-meter forest requires about 300 trees, which can be cut down in about 80 to 100 years to produce about 400 cubic meters of wood. Properly dried and processed wood now costs at least $100 a cubic meter, and all is $40,000. Of course, instead of cutting down the entire forest, just select the required parts from the old trees, and then plant new trees to replace them. The total price of an ancestral home built according to Anastasia's plan may reach more than one million US dollars, and any family can afford to build such a home, even a family with average income. The house can be a little ordinary at the beginning, and the land that is planned correctly and beautifully will be the greatest wealth. Now some wealthy people will pay high prices to hire professional landscaping companies. There are about 40 of them in Moscow, and they are overwhelmed with cases every day. To plan the land around the house correctly and beautifully, the estimated value of every 100 square meters is more than 1,500 US dollars.
It costs $500 to plant a six-meter-tall conifer, but anyone who wants to live in a beautiful environment is willing to pay such a high price. They pay because their parents didn't think of building ancestral homes for their children. But it doesn't take a lot of money to do that, as long as things are clearly prioritized. How can we raise our children if we don’t understand these simple truths ourselves? Anastasia is right, education starts with oneself.
I aspire to build a home of my own: take a hectare of land, build a house, and most importantly, plant different plants around it. I want to create my own hometown the way Anastasia describes it, and surround myself with beautiful homes built by others. Anastasia and sons could move in, or at least be guests, and then grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Maybe our great-grandchildren want to work in the city, but still return to their ancestral home to rest. On the annual July 23rd, which is Earth Day, perhaps all relatives will be able to return to their hometowns for reunion. I will of course be dead by then, but the home I built will remain, as will the trees and gardens that grew on it. I would dig a small pond and put some fry and let them grow. The trees will be specially planned the way Anastasia said. There are places that posterity might like, others that might want to change, but they will remember me no matter what.
I will sleep forever in my own home, and ask that no monument be erected for me in any form. I don't want anyone with a mournful look, pretending to be false at my grave. In fact, I don't want any sadness, no graves and tombstones, just some fresh grass and bushes growing from my body through the soil, and maybe any berries that are good for future generations. What is the meaning of tombstones? It's pointless and only brings sadness. When others walk into the home I have built, they will only think of me happily, not sad. Yeah, I'm going to plan for them like this, plant every tree like this...
I keep weaving dreams in my head, conjuring up this great event with joy. Gotta get started and do something. I have to go back to the city earlier, but there is still about ten kilometers from the forest to the river bank, I really hope I can finish it soon! Suddenly, information about Russian forests flashed in my head, I didn't write down all the numbers, so here's what I read in a statistical report:
Forests are the main type of vegetation in Russia, covering a total area of Forty-five percent of the country. Russia has the largest forest reserves in the world. In 1993, there were 886.5 million hectares of forests and 80.7 billion hectares of timber, accounting for 21% of the world's reserves respectively. Seven and twenty-five point nine. The proportion of wood is higher than that of forests because Russia's forests are more mature and productive than other countries.
Forests play a pivotal role in balancing the atmosphere and regulating the climate. According to BN Moiseyev, the atmospheric balance of Russian forests is 1,789,064,800 tons of carbon dioxide, more than 1,299,019 Nineteen hundred tons of oxygen. The annual carbon storage of Russian forests can reach 600 million tons. Such a considerable amount of gas exchange has a huge stabilizing effect on the earth's atmospheric composition and climate.
This is the situation now! Many people have said that Russia has a special mission, but that is not the future, but the fact that is happening.
Just think: people all over the world are more or less breathing Russian air, they are breathing the oxygen produced by this forest, and I am walking here. I wonder, does this forest supply the entire planet with only oxygen? Maybe something else important?
Walking alone in the taiga this time, I no longer felt as uneasy as before, but felt a lot like walking in a safe park. Of course there are no park trails in the taiga, with fallen trees and thick bushes from time to time, but I didn't get mad about it this time.
I pick a few berries like raspberries and gooseberries along the way, and this is the first time I've been so curious to see that trees, even of the same species, have very different appearances. Plants also grow in different positions, forming a unique picture.
The first time I took a serious look at the taiga, it seemed to be a lot friendlier. This feeling is probably because I know my youngest son was born in this forest, lives in the glade, and that Anastasia is here too—a woman who changed my life from the moment we met.
In this endless taiga, there is a small glade that Anastasia does not want to leave. She wouldn't trade the vacant land for an apartment, not even splendid. At first glance, this open space was just an ordinary and empty place, with no houses, no sheds, or any living equipment, but as soon as she approached the open space, she would immediately be happy. And when I came to her glade for the third time, I somehow felt the same way, as if I had come home after traveling through mountains and rivers.
Strange things keep happening in our world. For thousands of years, human society has been striving for the happiness and prosperity of everyone, but if you look closely, you will find that even if people live in the core of society and the center of modern civilized cities, they increasingly find themselves in a vulnerable and helpless situation. . There is a car accident, a robbery, and various illnesses. Life is inseparable from the pharmacy, or because of something unsatisfactory and self-termination. Suicide rates are especially high in these civilized countries with high living standards. On TV, mothers from all over the world often ask for help, saying that their children have nothing to eat and their families are starving.
Anastasia lives with her child in the Taiga, another civilization entirely. She wants nothing from our society and doesn't need police or military protection for her. But she always made me feel like nothing bad could happen to her and the kids in this glade.
Yes, we do belong to different civilizations, and she proposes to have the best of both worlds. In this way, many people on earth will change their lifestyles, and a new and happy human community will be born. This community is going to be fun, new and unique, like this...
