The Goddess Shines on America

This world is really wonderful.

In the same period of time, countless companies in countless industries are developing together, and a huge amount of news is pouring out every minute and every second. Even the financial industry, which is always staring at the development of the stock market, can only look at the development of various industries from their professional perspective, and have limited understanding of the specific impacts.

Looking at those centuries-old classic industries, oil, electricity, coal, and finance have long formed their inherent systems, and even countless related occupations have extremely mature development trajectories.

Accounting can be regarded as the most typical one. A large number of certificates need to be obtained step by step. The salary matched by each job title and working years is also well known. For many people engaged in traditional industries, this is their greatest luck and convenience, as well as the most real money and iron rice bowl.

But where there is tradition, there will be emerging, and the latter often has a huge impact on the former. Just think about the profession of a coachman. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has been passed down for thousands of years, but it quickly disappeared in just a few decades after the appearance of the car. Looking at the world today, even if you can still see donkeys, horses and ox carts in poor areas and rural towns, they are nothing more than self-employed means of travel.

But when it comes to the IT industry, it is enough for many people to warmly welcome it.

In fact, this perspective still has to start from the subject of mathematics. For many people, it seems to be a very boring thing to major in mathematics in college. Maybe it can indeed play a role in the field of scientific research, but even if a genius really understands why one plus one equals two, can it be expected that the vast number of job seekers will also rely on being a teacher for a living?

But since the basic discipline is called the foundation, it naturally means its irreplaceability, especially when the new thing of computer appears, its rock-solid role in it is even more dazzling.

Of course, the basic programming category has little to do with mathematics. Even ordinary people who have never been exposed to calculus can easily handle some simple programs. But if an entire industry relies on this kind of "layman" to develop, it is simply a dream to develop.

At a fundamental level, software programming is based on mathematical models, and many technologies and theories are also described based on mathematics, especially applied mathematics represented by discrete mathematics. From the perspective of computer programming for various applications, any program that can run on a stored-program electronic digital computer must first have a structural calculation method, the data representation must be discrete, and the calculation operation must be Use logical or algebraic methods, which should be embodied in algorithms and programs.

In addition, the correctness of algorithms, the semantics of programs and the theoretical basis for their correctness are still mathematical logic, or further model theory. The real program semantics are semantics in the sense of model theory. It can be said that the rigor of software programming thinking and the high degree of consistency between subject theory and implementation technology are the fundamental reasons why computer science and technology are closely related to mathematics.

Because of this, a good programmer must have advanced mathematical skills in order to write good software with the highest efficiency. When the computer was released, it received the absolute attention of various cutting-edge scientific research industries because of its powerful computing power, and the research and development of new technologies and products, of course, did not require massive mathematical calculation processes. That is to say, when the computer industry began to develop, the subject of mathematics suddenly became more important than ever.

In other words, the vigorous development of the computer industry is not based on the price of exchanging old and new, such as "chariot drivers besieging taxi drivers". As the source of directly leading the development of the knowledge industry, the foundation of promoting the great development of this industry is of course the soft power of teaching that belongs to the same field of knowledge, and has not caused any inherent industry collapse.

It is precisely because of this emerging and gratifying phenomenon that the US government has established a new electronic stock exchange, Nasdaq. It is a self-regulatory, global-oriented stock market that provides a competitive stage for emerging industries. At the same time, it is following the high development speed of the IT industry and has become the fastest growing among the world's major stock markets.

Of course, it is also the most electronic one.

Many people have really felt that the world is changing really too fast.

Nasdaq, which was established in 1971, had already occupied an unparalleled position in the stock market in the United States before the "87 stock market crash". With a history of only seventeen years, the largest piece of gold was easily dug from New York, Los Angeles Stock Exchange and Chicago futures market. Don't look at IBM's 70-year-old antiques that are still listed in New York, but now, almost all Silicon Valley companies are flocking here, and the astonishing total market value is really jaw-dropping.

Microsoft is undoubtedly the most dazzling new star among them.

It's funny to say that the rise of the computer industry has created the Nasdaq exchange, and it has also created today's IBM and Microsoft. Then, the very industry that spawned them gave IBM the opportunity to sneak attack on Microsoft's listing via Nasdaq. Immediately afterwards, it was precisely because everyone adopted the products of Cisco, the leader in the Internet hardware industry, that unexpected loopholes were created. IBM was exposed by the other party only a week after committing the crime.

A whole farce in a ridiculous circle, obviously all around such a strange new star in the computer industry. Today, Nasdaq has once again ushered in its rapid development after adopting new Internet hardware; after IBM has experienced repeated blows such as Microsoft lawsuits and dishonesty to the people, it has also been slowed down by NYSE. Qishen; Microsoft and Cisco, two companies that played interesting roles in the farce, are also rooted in the fresh land of Nasdaq and are thriving.

The world is really moving too fast.

People watched the stock price trend and market value changes of this pair of good brother companies, and couldn't help expressing such emotion.

Microsoft can be regarded as the big brother. After all, it was established in the 1970s, and it went public a little later. But the so-called big brother, of course, has a solid background, and it is only natural that a group of millionaires will be created as soon as it goes public. Half a year ago, when the famous director James Cameron was invited to the relevant talk show, we still had a good chat with him on this topic.

After all, he was one of the few lucky investors who bought a large number of shares in one go when Microsoft just opened and its stock price was extremely sluggish due to IBM's conspiracy. Turning one hundred thousand dollars into tens of millions of dollars is enough to write in the memoirs of many people.

But even if the start was a bit unfavorable, the eldest brother has developed very well in the past two years. Although the listing of Windows 2.0 has caused many people to scold it, Microsoft's remedial measures are really timely. In the past three years, countless users have experienced the crazy baptism of 1.0, 2.0 and now 3.0, and I don’t know how many people’s three views have been refreshed in this way.

Because the situation is really so wonderful, it stands to reason that launching three similar products for three consecutive years is just a means to expand the competitive advantage in traditional industries. Just like any company that produces notebooks, it will attract more users to buy them through different cover styles, which is just a very common and ordinary method.

But in the computer industry, conventions are broken.

In fact, IBM and Apple should be the first to break this management. Their computers are sold by model, one is more advanced than the other, and then the sales are calculated by model. The same situation also occurs in pure computer hardware manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard and Intel. The performance of each new product can be better, and then the sales and company performance are calculated purely by model, which is extremely rare in traditional industries.

Notebooks, always notebooks, can the pages of a pulp book display text like a TV?

But to say that those companies just created a precedent, it is Microsoft and Cisco that are often talked about together by people who really carry forward it.

On average, there is only one new product a year! ?

Every new product is on sale and there is wood! ?

Of course, since it is called a caring person, it is naturally not a fool. Everyone knows that Microsoft, which has been established for ten years, suddenly burst out like a small universe, and it has produced three best-selling products in three years. Whose credit is it?

Therefore, while more investors are paying attention to the big brother, they are actually looking forward to the thriving growth of the little brother.

Because, this child really grows up so fast.

Cisco's development was too dramatic and too stable.

To say it is dramatic is of course the speed of development. A company established three years ago has only been listed for half a year, but its share price has soared to three-fifths of that of Microsoft. The launch of new products is so fast, and not only the model is updated quickly, but also the rapid expansion of the industrial chain. If this can't be called dramatic, what other movie can catch people's eyes?

But it's really stable.

It is nonsense to say that it will launch new products every year. It should be asked, how many products will it launch this year?

"Jordan? Jordan!"

New York, on the streets of Long Island, his wife Teresa was walking on the street and shouted to her husband: "What are you doing again!?"

"My dear, of course it's because of the good news."

Jordan stood still on the street for three minutes. Although his wife came back with a cone, he still stared at the newspaper.

"Cisco held a press conference yesterday, saying that the optical module jointly developed with Lucent Technology has made a breakthrough and will be available for sale soon!"

With a stockbroker husband, Teresa, even if she was stupid, knew what it meant.

"Oh my god, I'll sort out my deposits quickly!"
