Homecoming of Rebirth

Sharp got the tacit approval and looked at Qi Lei with a smile, "Mr. Qi, are you willing to accept this invitation?"

Qi Lei, "..."

Sharp's purpose is obvious. From the perspective of communication, he wants to gain insight into a person's secrets.Then you need this person to convey as much information as possible.

Sitting in the audience obviously didn't deliver as much information as participating in the discussion.

China calls this, "the more you say, the more you make mistakes."

Logically speaking, after being defeated by Sharp's series of offensives, most people would be in a mess.

But, is Qi Lei an ordinary person?

The contestants, at this point, calmed down instead.

I smiled wryly in my heart, brother is too dazzling?I can't keep a low profile!

Glancing at Gene Sharp, he said to himself, old coffin!That's why you recruited me first!

Holding on to the armrest, she was about to get up, but Rossi pressed Qi Lei's hand tightly without any trace, and silently shook her head.

For ordinary people, the name of Gene Sharp may still be unfamiliar in this era, but for media people, the things he did and the NED he founded are no secrets.

Rossi knew what this old man was doing, and she could tell that Sharp was obviously trying to encourage Qi Lei to take the stage.

No matter what the reason was, Rossi didn't want Qi Lei to accept the appointment impulsively.

As for why?

Let's put it this way, do you think that only people in those countries whose regimes were overthrown by Sharp and plunged into chaos hate Sharp?

wrong!

The name Gene Sharp is used throughout the West, including the United States.It can only be said that he is notorious, and no one likes this sinister old man.

"Don't go!" Rosie growled.

No matter how capable Qi Lei is, he is no match for Gene Sharp.Moreover, behind Sharp is the US government.

Well, NED is jokingly called a branch of the CIA, not for nothing.

For Rossi's concern, Qi Lei is very emotional.

This girl is quite conscientious and capable.

Look at that white-eyed wolf in Pitwen, I have helped him so much, yet he is still motionless, maybe he is hoping that I will make a fool of himself!

Gave Rossi a reassuring look.Finally stood up.

When passing by Rossi's seat, he reminded her softly, "Turn on the recorder."

Rossi, "????"

I don't understand, there is a video of the scene.

Rossi also communicated just now, and I will give her a copy of the whole process of the symposium.

What do you need a recorder for?

Qi Lei, "I'm afraid they won't give it after the meeting!"

"????"

Rossi was even more confused, why not give it?

After finishing speaking, he calmly stepped onto the stage, and the number of seats on the stage became seven.

Levistan also handed the microphone to Qi Lei, "Before the discussion officially starts, Xiao Qi always wants to say something to the Stanford students?"

Qi Lei took the microphone without even thinking about it, "University, let's fall in love, skip class once, fight once, don't forget to make friends with your heart."

"Don't just focus on studying just because you went to Stanford, and forget the original appearance of youth."

There was a sudden silence in the audience, followed by warm applause.

No one in the audience thought that he would say such a passage.

I thought it was a polite self-introduction, or a self-proclaimed boast!

Qi Lei handed the microphone back to Levistan, sat back gracefully, and kept silent.

But invisibly, both the audience and the guests were deeply impressed by this oriental boy.

Over there, Sharp frowned even deeper, and said in his heart that his speaking skills were first-rate and there were no flaws.

So what is his secret?

Chapter 430

If a person is used to darkness, then he cannot have a heart for sunshine.

Gene Sharp is one of the most typical examples.

He concluded that Qi Lei had some ulterior secret, and because of the multiple identities of spy chief, psychologist, and sociologist, he was very interested in this secret.

And the process of gradually digging out the secrets made Sharp extremely enjoyable.

At this time, Qi Lei drew applause from the audience with a beautiful opening, and Sharp, like everyone else on the stage, smiled sincerely.

He looked at each other kindly with Levistein, Bill, and Buffett.

"My God, youth is so enviable!"

Looking at the students in the audience, "You have wealth that even billionaires are jealous of."

Next, Sharp was not in a hurry to pursue, but instead elaborated on the topic of today's discussion.

"Today, we come to Stanford University, the cradle of Silicon Valley, to discuss communication, technology and the future with you."

Communication technology and the future, in fact, the subject proposed by Sharp can be summed up in one word.

However, this term is not yet popular in this era.

Levistein took over the conversation at this time, "Professor Sharp has proposed a very good concept, so we might as well improve this concept."

"Then start with me?" Levistein insisted, "As a scholar who has studied in the field of media for decades, I believe that information communication will inevitably derive a new model through the development of technology, and then change the future. .”

After hearing this, Bill shook his hand, "Dr. Levi, your concept is still too general, and everyone may not understand it. Can I explain it in more detail?"

Americans are open and good at performance, not to mention a bunch of big shots, so they quickly entered the state.

Bill smiled and looked at the students in the audience.

"I don't understand information dissemination, but I understand technology."

"Every advancement in technology will inevitably bring about an increase in the efficiency of information dissemination. And we are now in a period of leaps in computer technology and wireless communication technology. How will it change the dissemination? This is worth exploring."

Because we have to take care of the audience of students in the audience, it is actually a group of big bosses brainwashing the people in the audience, expressing the importance of technology and communication.

And 20 years later, these words will definitely not be so laborious, and there is no need for Stanford's top students. Almost an ordinary junior high school student knows what they are talking about.

However, it doesn’t work right now. These concepts are all new and advanced.

Not to mention talented students, the company bosses, technical experts, and experts and scholars below may not be omniscient.

Bill's explanation was simpler than Levistan's, but some people were still confused, including Chen Wenjie and Wu Xiaojian.

The two whispered BB.

Wu Xiaojian, "What the hell are you talking about?"

Chen Wenjie, "You don't speak human language!"

In this regard, Bill also tried his best.

Instead, Sharp suddenly gave another explanation, "Perhaps, we can find the answer from history."

Sharp leaned back in his chair like a lazy old man.

"The most primitive way of dissemination of information is language, which completely distinguishes the early hominids from the beasts."

"More efficient information transmission allows humans to have the ability to coordinate and cooperate far beyond other beasts."

"As for language, you can regard it as the earliest technological means, an early program that God gave to human beings to naturally compile sound elements."

"However, although language can efficiently disseminate information, it has an obvious shortcoming, that is, timeliness."

"Sound cannot be preserved for a long time under the conditions of primitive society."

"Thus, primitive humans carried out a second scientific and technological revolution. They upgraded the technology and created a new mode of information transmission—graphics!"

"Graphic murals solve the problem of timeliness and can be preserved for a long time, and then evolved into text."

"The obstacles from the time dimension have been completely resolved. Even today, we can still understand the thinking of ancient humans from monuments and stone paintings."

This is called level.

Sharp's explanation made everyone understand at once the connection between information dissemination and science and technology.

Chen Wenjie grinned his teeth, "Hey, this uncle has something!"

Wu Xiaojian, "It's quite easy to understand."

And Sharp continued his speech, "The next change in communication brought about by technology comes from the emergence of letters and postal services."

"Two thousand years ago, the kings of ancient China used state power to establish a complete post system. This is the earliest and most complete postal system in the world."

"On top of the original time dimension, a space dimension is added. Information is no longer confined to one place or one area, but can spread far."

Chen Wenjie, "Crack! You know a lot."

Sharp, "In the next 2000 years, the timeliness of information dissemination has almost no qualitative leap until the next technological revolution comes."

At this time, the students in the audience had been completely mobilized by Sharp, and began to follow Sharp's thinking.

Hearing what he said, someone couldn't help answering: "Dr. Sharp, is the technological advancement you are referring to wired and radio?"

Sharp smiled, "Exactly."

"The emergence of wired electricity and radio has brought about a qualitative leap in information dissemination, adding one of the most important attributes to it—immediacy."

"It greatly shortens the time required for information transmission, improves efficiency, and has a universality that was not available before."

"This level of change is not only about the dissemination of information, it even changes the form of warfare, international diplomacy, and the lives of ordinary people."

"From the telegraph to the radio, from the telephone to the television."

"On the basis of high efficiency and instant information, from simple long and short Morse codes to two-dimensional text, to sound and picture, it redefines the logic of life in this world."

"After that, computer networking came along."

"So who can tell me, what changes has this technological breakthrough brought to information dissemination?"

Many of the students present were majoring in communication studies. This question was not difficult for them at all. Someone blurted out, "It's interactivity."

"That's right!" Sharp affirmed the answer. "Radio, TV, and movies are all transmitted in a single way, while the Internet is interactive. I am a disseminator of information and a receiver of information at the same time."

"That's why the current Internet has to be distinguished from traditional media, because they are completely two modes and it is difficult to confuse them."

Sharp not only clarified the relationship between communication and technology, but also brought out new thinking.That is, the impact of both on the future.

Straight to today's topic.

At this time, Sharp had completely controlled the rhythm of the field, but he didn't seem to want to show off, and immediately handed over the right to speak, "So, today we are facing a very interesting problem."

"That is, the next technological revolution has arrived, and the development of the Internet has reached a mature stage. According to past experience, information dissemination will usher in another change. What will be the change? What impact will it have on the future?"

"This requires everyone to discuss together."

After speaking, Sharp handed over the microphone and had no intention of continuing.

Levistan was a little resentful at the side, he was completely inferior in comparison!

He had no contact with Sharp before, he only knew that he was a political scientist, a sociologist, and he had a bad reputation.

Today I have seen it, and there are indeed two brushes.

Now the embarrassment is Levistan, Sharp will stop talking, he must answer.But if you don't pick it up well, it's a shame.

Others thought much like Levistein.

Although they are all billionaires and bigwigs, they are really not enough in front of Gene Sharp, especially when they set foot in fields that Sharp is familiar with.

At this time, no one wanted to answer the conversation, and it would be embarrassing if they didn't speak well, and it seemed that they were not good enough.
