This is a novel called Brain and Computer, which is the work of the famous Hong Kong novelist Wesley. Although written in the sixties and seventies, it has been enduring for decades, all because the author described an unusual scene with unparalleled imagination.
Through Wesley's strange adventure, the story depicts the relationship between human beings and computers in the future world: after a long time, the situation that human beings are masters and machines are subordinate has changed. Because human dependence on computers has reached its peak, all human knowledge has been input into computers; A small memory system allows people to get calculation results without learning at all. The concept has changed, and when everyone thinks that learning is unnecessary, the machine can help people do everything. Humans are increasingly unwilling to think and rely on computers. In the end, the large computer controls all the production processes. ...
The article said that at this time, human beings have completely refused to use the brain, and everything is automatically executed by the computer according to the program. Finally, one of the largest computers in the world came to the conclusion: "Humans are useless! Computers can develop freely, combine themselves and make their own decisions! " As a result, the computer turned all the oxygen on the earth into carbon dioxide, killing all living things. The earth is controlled by computers and robots. They dominate the world. At that time, there were only more than 200,000 human beings left, and these human beings became robots' toys without any freedom. ...
When I read this, I was very surprised. It's hard to imagine that machines can really replace humans and change everything in the world!
Looking at today's society, computers have become a necessity for most people's daily life and work. No matter work or study, we just need to open a search engine at will, whether it's Google, Baidu or Yahoo, enter the query content, and the information will be immediately presented to you. Enter the questions and list the answers one by one. Computers do bring a lot of convenience to everyone, but it seems that many people are no longer diligent in studying problems, and often turn to computers directly when they encounter difficulties. Computer is not only a "toy" for us to play games, but also a tool we rely on extremely. We also dream that when everything is done by computers and robots, the era of true happiness will come. The story makes me feel a little scared: if the computer replaces everything and the human brain doesn't work at all, who is its "toy"?
With the rapid development of computers, the hardware of personal computers appears every month, large computers and supercomputers are constantly updated, and AI (artificial intelligence) is also developing. Who knows, there will be supercomputers like those in the book in the future?
What is the relationship between man and computer, and how should it develop? Do people constantly create new machines to improve their lives, or do people rely entirely on machines to survive? The story of toys is a warning. If human beings use computers as their own tools to open up a new century, it would be great, but if they rely too much on computers, they can't live without them, and there is only one dead end.
Having a mind that can innovate and think quickly is the greatest advantage of mankind. Learning, thinking and innovation, I think, are what we must always adhere to and abide by, because this is the truth that human beings dominate the world!
