2602 [Next Generation Optical Storage]
After hearing the blueprint drawn by Xia Tian, the Wang brothers were also stunned and prostrated.
They never thought about how the computer industry would develop in the future, and they just kept following the trend.
Now after listening to Xia Tian’s analysis, they finally understand the direction of the future development of the computer industry. Artificial intelligence, neural networks and cloud computing will all be the ultimate in computer development. Tianxia Technology will increase its investment in this area and will definitely pay off in the future.
"Ah Tian, listening to your words is really better than reading for ten years. We all understand these things and will definitely work hard in this direction in the future." Wang Xianzong nodded and said.
"That's good." Xia Tian smiled, "Brother, second brother, although cutting-edge development is expensive and not easy to achieve immediate results, as long as we persist, we will definitely get a reward."
"Well, since A Tian said it was OK, it must be OK." Wang Xianguang also nodded.
...
"By the way, A Tian, Sony Group wants to help us do research on the next generation of optical storage technology." Wang Xianzong said to Xia Tian again, "Do you think we want to mix it with it?"
The current standard for optical storage technology is jointly formulated by Sony, Philips and Tianxia Technology. It is precisely because of this standard that the three companies have collected patent fees around the world and made a lot of money.
Especially Tianxia Technology can not only charge mmcd patent fees, but also make money by authorizing "double bald" patents, which makes more money than Sony and Philips.
When other home appliance companies saw this scene, they were naturally very jealous. Especially Toshiba, which almost shared the second-generation optical storage technology standards with Sony.
However, Tianxia Technology's job-hopping midway caused Toshiba to fail. Therefore, after SD technology was struck out, Toshiba immediately began researching the next generation of optical storage technology.
Although Sony is extremely popular now, it makes a lot of money with mmcd players. However, without long-term plans, there must be immediate worries! It is afraid that Toshiba will turn around in the battle for the next generation of optical storage technology, so it does not dare to sleep on the credit book, and hopes to immediately invest in the research and development of the next generation of optical storage technology.
Tianxia Technology has sufficient funds, high R&D level, and has many patented technologies in its hands, so Sony wants to help Tianxia Technology research together.
"You can participate in research, but the investment should not be too large. In the future, CDs are products that are destined to decline, and the market will gradually shrink." Xia Tian reminded.
"Will the CD fall?!" Wang Xianzong and Wang Xianguang asked in surprise when he heard Xia Tian say this.
Now, the best home appliances sold in the world are vcd and mmcd. If the CD is destined to decline, what should the world's home appliances go?!
"That's right. In the future, the Internet speed will get faster and faster. Now it is only a few dozen k, but it can reach tens of trillions in the future. A movie with a few g can be downloaded from the website within one or two minutes. Do you think people still need to watch it with CDs?" Xia Tian smiled.
...
In the future, the rapid development of China's Internet has driven out all the business of selling thieves on the roadside. Because as long as people have the Internet, they can download many audio and videos from the website by wiping their fingers, and there is no need to buy a lot of money.
Even in European and American countries with good copyright protection, the emergence of streaming media has greatly affected the DVD rental business. People can listen to music on many video websites such as youtube, flix, hulu, and itunes, spotify, etc., and no longer have to buy CDs specifically. Therefore, the market for CD applications is gradually sluggish.
However, this does not mean that CDs will completely fade out of the market. In fact, CDs also have many advantages.
First, its storage capacity is large and low-priced. A blue-ray blank disc costs only one yuan, but it can store 25g of data. In comparison, the price of a USB flash drive of the same capacity is at least twenty-five yuan, a huge difference of dozens of times.
Second, its life span can theoretically reach one hundred years. The theoretical storage time of the U disk is ten years. Although the hard disk can be stored for a long time, it is very harsh for the storage environment. Because once electronic components are damp or subject to magnetic radiation, the data stored in it may change.
However, the storage of CDs is much simpler. Even if they fall into the water, they still have no loss of data on them. Therefore, many people are keen on collecting audio and video discs.
Third, optical storage is more secure and confidential. Although cloud storage is more convenient and has a very large space, once hacked, it is easy to expose your privacy.
For example, the Hollywood "Yan Photo Sect" that broke out in the past two years, many of the photos of actresses in Apple Icloud were exposed by hackers, many of which were private photos, which caused an uproar.
In comparison, storage alone is much safer. As long as you burn the photos on the CD and keep them in, it is impossible to peek into the stars' privacy unless a hacker can break into his home and steal the CD.
Because CDs have these advantages, CDs will still be eliminated for a while. However, its market will still be squeezed out by the Internet, cloud storage, USB flash drives, etc., and become increasingly niche.
Unless it can achieve a greater breakthrough in storage space, reading speed, etc., otherwise it will basically be impossible to usher in the second spring.
Therefore, it is OK to develop the next generation of optical storage technology, but there is no need to invest huge amounts of money in research and development.
...
After listening to Xia Tian’s explanation, the Wang brothers looked at each other and felt a great crisis.
"A Tian, if this is the case, then will our Tianxia home appliances be in danger? What other fist products can be used to produce in the future?" The Wang brothers said worriedly.
Now the most popular home appliances in the world are mmd and vcd players. Not only are they famous all over the world, but they have even driven the sales of other home appliances.
Both of them also hope that after the next generation of optical memory is successfully developed, Tianxia Home Appliances can continue to work hard and continue to be such glory.
But now I heard from Xia Tian that optical storage technology will be eliminated. What should I choose for the next generation of home appliances in the world?!
"The development of the home appliance industry in the future will be mainly exquisite and trendy. LCD TVs, variable frequency air conditioners, smart refrigerators, kitchen appliances, water purifiers, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners, ovens..." Xia Tian calculated with his fingers, "In the future, with the development of the mainland economy in China and the improvement of residents' living standards, the consumption of home appliances will be upgraded. Fine, beautiful and trendy home appliances will become more and more popular among the people.
