The first chapter, "Hardware", describes some parts of the computer and explains their respective uses. The Antiquisera machine made in 100 BC is an astronomical computer with many forms of computer. Phones and tablets are also powerful computers. These computers look different and don't feel the same, but it's just a representation, it doesn't really matter.
In the second Zambit, bytes and information representation, let us know that the simulation system has its advantages, such as parchment, books and photos and other ancient media, have experienced the digital format has not experienced the time test. It tells about some of the previous files that have not been cracked yet. Information previously stored on floppy disks and tapes is now less likely to be found in the read mode.
When I read I saw "CPU can dominate my destiny", it was a bit absurd, but maybe so. In many American high-tech blockbusters, people think that computers do not have their own thinking, the result is that humans have been the intelligent evolution of the computer occupied their homes, they have created a sense of self, no longer at the mercy of mankind, the continuous slaughter of mankind. Ultimately, the earth is occupied by these higher-intelligence creatures. It made me feel a hint of fear, and if these creatures of my own family had consciousness, where could we escape? Though I knew it was impossible, I could not help but fantasize about the scene.
"The world is digital" really is a very good book, Hope in the future study, but also can continue to read such a great work, let their world view become wider.
