Chapter 669 The Third Industrial Revolution

This time, the Turing Award ceremony was held at the headquarters of the American Computer Association in New York as usual.

Liu Tao was dressed in a formal suit and looked quite handsome.

After arriving at the hall, he saw that many people had already taken their seats. Liu Tao, as the winner of this time, was arranged in the first row.

The entire hall is about 1,000 square meters and occupies the first floor of the entire building.

Many award ceremonies and gatherings of the Computer Association are held here every year, so the decoration is very luxurious.

Of course, the decoration style here is more about computers, and the overall sci-fi color is very strong.

This award ceremony is very special. In addition to scholars in the computer field, there are also rare politicians.

The award ceremony process is very simple. First, Turing was introduced, and then the winners and reasons for the awards were announced.

The American Computer Association has a very high evaluation of Liu Tao, believing that Liu Tao's theory has played a vital role in the miniaturization of computers, the development of supercomputers, and the development of computer software.

When he heard that the winner was announced to be himself, Liu Tao stood up and waved to everyone. At this time, the focus of the whole audience was on him.

After walking onto the stage and receiving the silver bowl trophy and certificate of the Turing Award, Liu Tao came to the microphone to give a speech.

CCTV sent someone to attend the Turing Award ceremony this time, and it will be broadcast in China.

Liu Tao expressed his gratitude and spoke freely about the future development of computers.

The audience in the audience also gave him face and all stood up to applaud Liu Tao, which was a recognition of his award.

He attended the dinner and accepted congratulations from others.

The next day, Liu Tao went to Columbia University and gave a speech.

Columbia University is one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the world. It is located in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, New York City, USA, on the edge of the Hudson River, north of Central Park. It is one of the oldest colleges in the American continent and a world-class private research university.

Columbia University is a founding member of the Association of American Universities and one of the five oldest universities in the United States. It has world-class law schools, business schools, medical schools, journalism schools, and engineering schools. At the same time, it is also one of the important research institutions in the United States and the birthplace of the Manhattan Project, the first nuclear fission project in North America.

Some of the Chinese government-sponsored students went to Columbia University to study.

Liu Tao's speech attracted many people, including Chinese students, Chinese students, and American students.

"After the steam engine and electricity, the third technological revolution is coming! What is revolution? The great man of China said that revolution is not a dinner party, but a riot of one class overthrowing another class! The French obviously agree with this view. They sent Louis XVI to the guillotine 100 years before the great man of China was born!"

The theme of Liu Tao's speech this time was "Computer Revolution". He said at the beginning that the third technological revolution was coming, "Now, the computer revolution is coming, who will it send to the guillotine?"

At this time, the venue was silent, many people listened attentively, and a few reporters had shining eyes.

The computer revolution, before this, no one had ever mentioned it. The computer revolution is the third industrial revolution!

The computer revolution refers to the invention, use and development of electronic computers on the entire scientific and technological system, including the computer industry, and even the entire human social life. The great impact and profound changes brought about by the invention, use and development of electronic computers on the entire scientific and technological system, including the computer industry, and even the entire human social life.

"Electronic computers were born in the middle of the 20th century and have continued to develop since then. They have now penetrated into all areas of society and have had a profound and huge impact on the development of science and technology, economy, and society." Liu Tao then introduced the development of electronic computers and their penetration into various fields of society.

Unconsciously, securities trading in major stock markets around the world has used computers, which has greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of securities trading and enabled more information to be obtained.

More and more companies are using computers for office work, and more and more people are using office software and sending emails.

The mainstream computing power of computers on the market now has reached 5 million times per year, which is far more than the previous large computers.

When Liu Tao finished speaking, there was warm applause at the scene.

Obviously, Liu Tao's speech made them gain a lot.

Then, there was an exchange session.

Liu Tao had a pleasant exchange with the students and answered their questions.

After half an hour of exchange, Liu Tao left the auditorium.

On the second night, Liu Tao left New York and embarked on his return journey.

"Comrade Liu Tao, I have read about the computer revolution you proposed before. Will the computer revolution really be the third revolution?" On the plane, the leader and Liu Tao were communicating.

The leader also learned about Liu Tao's speech at Columbia University.

Liu Tao did not just mention the computer revolution now, but started to mention it many years ago.

Therefore, China is at the forefront of the world in computer development, and China is also at the forefront of the world in the Internet.

China missed the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution, so it suffered a century of humiliation and reached the brink of national extinction.

No one is more eager for industrialization than China, because industrialization represents the path to a strong country, which is engraved in the bones of every Chinese.

The Industrial Revolution can undoubtedly greatly improve productivity and quickly make the country stronger.

China has invested a lot of money in the computer field in recent years.

Panshan Group spends tens of billions of dollars every year on computer-related fields.

"Leader, the computer revolution may not be too accurate. To be precise, it should be the information revolution, or it can also be called the automation revolution. It can be counted from the 1950s. The characteristics of this industrial revolution are that atomic energy, aerospace technology, electronic computers, artificial materials, genetic engineering and other high-tech products and technologies have been increasingly developed." Liu Tao pondered for a moment and said.

The Industrial Revolution has never been a time point, but a time period.

The first industrial revolution was a mechanization revolution represented by the steam engine. This was based on the steam engine and represented that machines could replace human labor. The time was about the 1760s to the mid-19th century, spanning almost a century.

Watt improved the steam engine, thus creating an industrial wave of replacing human labor with machines. The machines used in the first industrial revolution were all driven by steam or water power. The first use of machines to replace human labor was of great epoch-making significance.

In 1765, weaver Hargreaves invented the 'Jenny Loom', which opened the prelude to the Industrial Revolution. In 1785, the improved steam engine made by Watt was put into use, providing more convenient power, promoting the popularization and development of machines, and human society entered the 'steam age'. Factories appeared and became the most important organizational form of industrialized production, playing an increasingly important role.

In 1814, the British Stephenson invented the 'steam car'. In 1825, Stephenson personally drove a train with 34 small carriages for a successful test run. From then on, human transportation industry entered an era powered by steam.

In 1840, Britain became the world's first industrial country.

It was precisely because the first industrial revolution first occurred in Britain that Britain started its 300-year world hegemony.

After all, the first industrial revolution helped liberate and improve productivity.
