Reborn My 1993

Chapter 896

"You mentioned in the article in the New Liverpool Magazine that in the next ten years, smartphones will become ubiquitous and cover the whole world?"

Newell asked.

"Yes, not only that, but the emergence of smart phones will change the fate of many technological products."

"for example?"

Newell was very interested in Zhang Yiming's article.

"Smartphones will replace TVs, landline phones, and even computers, and not only will mobile phones change the face of the financial industry."

For someone who has been through this, these are normal.

But now it is 2000. Although the Symbian system has basically completed the research and development, the current Symbian system is only the most basic system, and there are very few software and functions that can be carried.

It is completely incomparable with smartphones more than ten years later.

In 2000, even the giants of these technology industries could not predict the development of future technology.

But Newell's eyes sparkled.

He has never been a traditional person.

Not only unconventional, but also very willing to accept new things and like to take risks.

However, with the development of Nokia getting better and better these years, he is also getting older and no longer involved in management too much, and the adventure and ambition have gradually faded away. Now, Zhang Yiming's words make Newell seem to find Back to the passion of youth.

"Replace the computer?"

Computers are not yet ubiquitous.

In most places, big-headed computers are still used, and LCD monitors have not yet become mainstream.

It is predicted that a product that is still in a period of great potential will be replaced. If Zhang Yiming did not say this sentence, no one would believe it.

Of course, among the three giants, except Newell, Jordan and Edward are not too enthusiastic about this matter, and they are also skeptical.

They felt that Zhang Yiming was exaggerating.

"Yes, the screens of mobile phones in the future will become larger and larger, the imaging and resolution will be higher and higher, the degree of chip integration will become more sophisticated and complex, and the systems will be more advanced. I said that a mobile phone in the future will be able to Do you believe the built-in 2000W two-way lens?"

"impossible."

Edward, who seldom spoke and didn't like to interrupt, categorically denied Zhang Yiming's statement.

"How can Mr. Edward be so sure?"

Zhang Yiming did his homework before.

But Edward's resume is very simple. Compared with the other two giants, his presence in Nokia is very low.

Including this time, since he entered the door, Newell has been talking, Jordan occasionally speaks, and only Edward is like air.

"Do you know what the manufacturing principle of a digital camera is? Do you know what determines the pixels of a digital camera?"

Edward's appearance is a very typical European and American face.

The skin is very fair, and the bridge of the nose is high, somewhat similar to the hero Edward in the previous famous movie "Edward Scissorhands".

But maybe because he was slightly agitated, his snow-white skin was slightly reddish.

"The pixels in the camera rely on CCD, and the photosensitive element used in most digital cameras is CCD, which is a special semiconductor material.

It consists of a large number of independent photosensitive elements, which are usually arranged in a matrix.The light shines on the CCD through the lens and is converted into electrical charge. The amount of charge on each element depends on the intensity of light it receives.

When we press the shutter, the CCD transmits the information of each component to the A/D converter, and the analog electrical signal becomes a digital signal after being processed by the A/D converter. The digital signal is compressed in a certain format and stored in the cache. Then a digital photo was born.

Then the image data is output in the form of digital signal and video signal according to different needs. Matrix CCD, each of its photosensitive elements represents a pixel in the image, and the number of pixels is determined by the number of photosensitive elements.

Not sure if I'm right? "

As soon as Zhang Yiming finished speaking, the faces of the Big Three were all surprised.

Especially Edward, whose face was a little red just now, turned pale again.

The answer given by Zhang Yiming is based on decades of experience of future generations, and it is much more scientific and professional than the common sayings that are popular in the industry today.

Newell glanced at Edward.

This is a very arrogant old man.

Usually he is reticent not because he doesn't like to talk, but because he feels that few people or things are worth talking about.

Edward was born in Kodak. He participated in the R&D and design of Kodak's first digital camera. He is the most influential voice in Nokia for digital cameras.

However, it took him and the R&D team five years to conquer the 60W pixel platform. Even so, it ended in failure. shareholder status.

After leaving his scientific research field, Edward has always been depressed.

But he had failed before, even though he was reluctant to give up, he didn't want to touch it again.

Now, Zhang Yiming is standing in front of him and telling him that the future smart phone will be able to achieve 2000 million pixels, and it will also have a two-way lens inside and outside, how can he accept this.

"How to achieve it?"

Edward felt that maybe Zhang Yiming only knew some superficial facts, so he was sensationalizing. After all, judging from his years of research and development experience, this was impossible.

"It's very simple. Increase the number of CCDs per unit area, and the pixels will naturally increase."

"It's easy to say, it is impossible for photosensitive circuit devices to accommodate too many CCDs."

Edward immediately retorted.

"Mr. Edward, the photosensitive circuit device is constantly improving and upgrading, and the size of the CCD will be infinitely reduced. Before the 7650 appeared, whether you or consumers, would anyone think that ordinary mobile phones would be upgraded to smart phones with a system? ?Before the BP machine appeared, did anyone think that such a small thing could help people communicate in different places? Some people thought that the fixed telephone line would be cut off one day, and there would be a regional PHS instead. A mobile communication tool?"

Zhang Yiming asked a series of rhetorical questions.

Edward suddenly didn't know how to refute.

These questions are actually very simple. Edward is a technological elite, so he would not have asked such questions.

However, this was his obsession, something that directly changed the trajectory of his life, and it was difficult for him to accept and overcome it for a while.

Unlike Edward, Newell was getting more and more excited.

Because he could feel that Zhang Yiming was definitely not just talking about it.

What a capable person says that sounds unrealistic is called foresight or prophecy, while the same thing said by an incompetent person is called bragging.

Zhang Yiming is naturally the former.

"How did you change the face of the financial industry as you said?"

As I said before, it is still possible to imagine some replacements for technology products, but the fact that mobile phone products affect the financial industry is confusing, and it is impossible to figure it out at all.

Zhang Yiming smiled lightly.

He was afraid that he would have to think carefully about this matter before discussing it.
