"The World is Mathematics" is a popular science book, the reader object is non-professional. The book is concise, interesting, and thought-provoking, the content of the book is very impressive, you can learn something that fits your own, it is a comprehensive interpretation of today's computing and communication work, including hardware, software, the Internet and so on. Many ideas are of great value to both professionals and the general public. Whether you have a computer background or whatever you do, this book is a must-read if you agree that you live in the digital age. After reading this book, I benefited a lot. But at the same time, it can not help but wonder what drives digital development? In what direction will the future develop? This is still unknown, can only rely on their own efforts to explore!
The first part, "Hardware," describes some of the parts of the computer, and explains their use. The Antiquisera machine, manufactured in 100 BC, is an astronomical computer, with many forms of computers, such as mobile phones and tablets, and 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, we can 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 can't be cracked now, especially in binary format. Information previously stored on floppy disks and tapes is now less likely to be found in the read mode. Now think about whether the information stored on the disc will be able to find the optical drive to read in the future.
When I read, I saw "CPU can dominate my destiny" and it felt 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 makes me feel uneasy, if these creatures of my own family have consciousness, then we can go where to escape. So it has its advantages and disadvantages, because it can bring convenience to human beings and can save mankind a lot of time. And the downside is that it's a time bomb, and no one can know in the future whether they will have their own mind consciousness and then not listen to our demands. If there is this day, it is the Holocaust of mankind, is a disaster!
The world is a digital reading
