The similarities between the Internet era and the age of navigation



The similarities between the Internet era and the age of navigation -- after the earth was conquered by human beings, it began to conquer the virtual space.

Today and we continue to chat about the Internet era and the age of navigation in the similarities! Although the Internet era is not a long time, but the Internet in the past 20 or 30 years to bring changes to the earth, no less than the past three hundred years of great navigation changes of mankind. My point of view may be different from some people's point of view. I think the era of great voyages originated from the fall of Constantinople in 1453, but ended with the defeat and surrender of Japan in 1945 and the smooth end of world war ii. The cold war between the east and the west was the turning point of the age of navigation and the Internet. The Cuban missile crisis in 1962 officially declared that relations between great powers could not be solved by force alone, and that mankind was about to enter a new era. The Internet was born in the United States in 1969 and China and the United States established diplomatic relations in 1972. Forty-two years later, China and the United States are ruling the world side by side, officially declaring that the world pattern of the Internet era has been laid.



Websites in the Internet age are the equivalent of ships in the age of big navigation


In the age of the great voyages, European colonists sailed their small wooden boats across the sea and conquered the world. And websites in the Internet age are like ships in the age of big navigation. In the era of great voyages, it was believed that many people dreamed of having their own fleet to conquer the world. In this Internet age, building a website is also the beginning of many people's dream. Some people succeed, like Larry Page and Bill Gates. Are these successful plutocrats like Columbus or Frederick? They are the trendsetters of The Times, standing in the forefront of The Times respected by millions of people.


Is a web developer like a boatman or a captain like a webmaster?


If the website is the ship of big nautical age, so website developer is boatman not. Web designers, front-end designers, web programmers, web operations, these are all different jobs of ship. Naturally, the captain is not the station master. The so-called shipbuilding technology is the modern website development technology. HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, ASP.NET, Mysql, etc. In the past, the Chinese invented the compass, which led westerners to invent modern warships to hit us. In modern times, americans invented HTML and the web. We Chinese are learning these skills again to earn American money. Once again, history shows that it will come back sooner or later.


The servers of the Internet age are the oceans of the age of big navigation


Like a conqueror's ship on the ocean, thousands of websites are hosted on their own servers. The tuhao who use independent servers are like the plutocrats who were able to build their own ships in the past. And we rent the virtual host and cloud host diaosi webmaster, like in the past those who borrow money to go to sea diaosi captain. Frederick also borrowed money from others and succeeded. Jack ma borrowed money from son and succeeded. Don't look down upon those who borrow money.


Some server hard drives are down and all data is lost. Does it look like a ship going down in the ocean with no bones left? Some of the ships were later retrieved, but the hard drive data was recovered.


If the server is the sea in the era of great navigation, then the number of servers in a country is not a symbol of the country's strength in the Internet age.


The data of the Internet age is the sea water of the age of big navigation


The data in the server is the sea water in the ocean. The same connection of the ocean is the resource sharing between servers. So the ocean model is actually the beginning of the Internet.


There are too many similarities between the Internet era and the era of great navigation. It can even be said that the Internet era is the second great navigation of mankind. Only the age of navigation, the human conquest of the earth's land space. This time, in the age of the Internet, we are conquering virtual space. We can only conquer virtual space before we conquer time and space. From this point of view, deng's historical achievements far outweigh the current evaluation of him. Perhaps even he himself could not imagine, under his leadership, China kept pace with the world and smoothly entered the Internet era. As some have said recently, we should thank deng xiaoping. He may have done it inadvertently, but he did it. Perhaps no Chinese leader since 1453 has achieved more in history. I stress, though, that he probably didn't mean to do it.


But history is like this, and no Chinese leader ever thought that China would play a supporting role in the whole era of great voyages until it was defeated by the whole world. I am afraid that no party member of the 1972 communist party would have expected us, and we thus caught up with the arrival of the Internet era. The Korean people are helpless and painful. The road they are taking now is not like China in the era of great navigation. Shut yourself off from the world.


互联网时代与大航海时代的相似之处—地球被人类征服完以后,又开始征服虚拟空间了。

Posted by 文武双全


今天接着和大家聊互联网时代与大航海时代的相似之处!虽然互联网时代的时间并不长,但是互联网这二三十年给地球带来的变化,丝毫不逊于过去大航海时代三百年人类的变化。我的观点可能跟某些人的观点不太一样,我认为大航海时代起源于1453年君士坦丁堡的陷落,但是结束于1945年日本战败投降、二战顺利结束。紧接着的东西方冷战则是大航海时代和互联网时代的转折点,1962年的古巴导弹危机正式宣告大国之间的关系不能光靠武力来解决了,人类即将进入新的时代。1969年美国诞生了互联网,1972年中美建交,中国非常幸运的在互联网时代即将到来之际跟西方修复了关系。42年后的今天,中美两国并肩统治世界,正式宣告互联网时代的世界格局已经奠定。



互联网时代的网站相当于大航海时代的船


大航海时代,欧洲殖民者们开着小木船就敢漂洋过海、征服世界。而互联网时代的网站,就跟大航海时代的船一样。在大航海时代,拥有自己的舰队出去征服世界相信是很多人的梦想。在这个互联网时代,建一个网站也是很多人梦想的开始。有些人成功了,就像Larry.Page和Bill.Gates。这些功成名就的富豪们,像不像哥伦布和弗雷德里克。他们是时代的弄潮儿,站在时代的最前端被亿万人敬仰。


网站开发人员像不像船工,船长像不像站长?


如果说网站就是大航海时代的船,那么网站开发人员不就是船工了。网页设计师,前端设计师,网站程序员,网站运维这些人都是不同岗位的船工。顺理成章的,船长不就是站长了。所谓的造船技术,就是现代的网站开发技术。什么HTML、CSS、Javascript、PHP、ASP.NET、Mysql等等,不就是现代的造船术嘛。在过去,中国人发明了指南针,导致西方人发明了现代战舰来打我们。在现代,美国人发明了HTML和web。我们中国人又学习了这些技术,去挣美国人的钱。历史再一次证明,出来混迟早要还回来了。


互联网时代的服务器相当于大航海时代的海洋


就像征服者的船要开在海洋上那样,成千上万的网站也都放在自己的服务器上。那些用独立服务器的土豪们,就当于过去能够独立造船的富豪们。而我们这些租用虚拟主机和云主机的屌丝站长,像不像过去那些借别人钱去航海的屌丝船长。弗雷德里克也借了别人的钱,后来成功了。马云像孙正义借钱,也成功了。不要看不起借钱的人,胆子越大也容易成功。


有些服务器硬盘坏了,数据全部丢失。是不是很像船在海洋上沉没,尸骨无存哈。有些船后来被人捞起来了,不就是硬盘数据被恢复过来了嘛。


如果说服务器就是大航海时代的海洋,那么一个国家服务器的数量是不是就象征着这个国家在互联网时代的实力呢。


互联网时代的数据相当于大航海时代的海水


服务器里的数据,不就是海洋里的海水嘛。海洋的相同相连,不就是服务器之间的资源共享嘛。这么说,海洋模型实际上就是互联网的雏形啊。


互联网时代和大航海时代的相似之处实在是太多了,甚至可以说互联网时代是人类的第二次大航海。只不过大航海时代,人类征服的是地球的陆地空间。这一次到了互联网时代,我们开始征服虚拟空间。在征服时间和宇宙空间之前,我们只能先征服虚拟空间了。从这个角度来看,邓小平的历史功绩要远远大于人们目前对他的评价。可能连他自己都想不到,正式在他的领导下,中国跟上了世界的步伐,顺利的进入到互联网时代。就像最近有些人说的那样,我们应该感谢邓小平。虽然他可能是无心的,但是他确实做了这么一件事情。可能从1453年以来,中国没有一个领导人的历史功绩能够超过他了。虽然我强调,他可能不是故意要这样做的。


但是历史就是这样,中国没有一个领导人会想到,中国会在整个大航海时代充当配角,直到被整个世界打趴下。恐怕1972年的GCD,没有一个党员会料到我们,我们就这样赶上了互联网时代的到来。朝鲜人民是苦逼的,他们现在走的路,像不像大航海时代的中国。自我封闭,然后被世界孤立。
