Chapter 165 What will change our lives

"Really? If someone else said that, I would have been laughing so hard that I couldn't control myself." Lin Heng gritted his teeth and shook his head, "I would also mercilessly complain that this mouth is harder than diamonds."

"It's not that cruel," Li Ruofei added.

"But when Lao Yan said that, I was so scared!" Lin Heng covered his head and went back to his seat pretending to be dead.

"Is this your strength after reviewing?" Zhu Qinglun asked.

"Don't," Li Yan stopped the breast-shaking action that was about to begin, "Well, this is just my feeling. Maybe I made a lot of low-level mistakes. If you want to brag, wait until the scores come out and are really awesome before bragging. Don't take out loans to brag. I'm afraid."

"Are you afraid of this?" Chen Fan made a rare joke.

"Okay," Li Yan smiled, "We've taken the exams. We'll know the results on Friday. We don't have classes on Wednesday and Thursday. What are you going to do?"

"Thursday should be for packing up, and on Friday after the results are announced, you can get your transcripts and leave. The commendation ceremony and other things will be after the next semester starts." Liang Tiancheng performed his duties as dormitory head. "As soon as school is over that day, all the first and second graders will rush home. You can ask your family to come a little later to avoid the peak period."

"I'm going home..." Zhu Qinglun continued, "Alas, before the results come out, I'm not so excited about going home for the winter break."

"What about tomorrow?" Li Ruofei seemed to be in a good mood. "There's nothing to do tomorrow. Do you want to go out and play?"

"Tired..." Lin Heng still pretended to be dead, sticking out his tongue and speaking unclearly, "To be honest, I thought it would be tiring to come to New Taipei First High School. With so many talented classmates, the pressure would be greater, but I didn't expect it to be this great."

"I'm not in the mood." Chen Fan was the first to speak up, "I... won't mention it."

"I just want to stay in the dormitory and do nothing." Zhu Qinglun suddenly got nervous after saying this, "Boss Yan, you're not going to study tomorrow, are you?"

Li Yan laughed. "No, no, no, I'm just playing on the computer. Since no one wants to do anything, why don't we have a long-awaited night chat?"

"What to talk about? About our beautiful senior sister?" Lin Heng finally regained some energy.

"The future." Li Yan said seriously, "Let's talk about the future."

"Get good grades to get into a good high school, study hard in a good high school, get good grades to get into a good university, get good grades in a good university to become a graduate student, and then I don't know." Zhu Qinglun's answer was very realistic.

"I'm not talking about that," Li Yan shook her head, "I'm talking about what will change our lives in the future?"

"It's a good topic, but it's difficult." Liang Tiancheng said, "I believe that China will get better and better. As for the rest... I don't know where to start. Maybe the city construction will get better and better. During this financial crisis, the country stepped in to support it and also carried out a wave of infrastructure construction. Maybe in the future, our hometowns will all become like New Taipei City?"

This idea was too lofty and did not resonate much.

"To change our lives, that's... technology." Chen Fan took an active part in the topic, which was rare. "The current technology is the Internet, but it is almost a consensus that it will change everyone's lives."

"Computers are getting cheaper and cheaper." Li Ruofei has never been very involved in such topics.

"Soon everyone will have one, and this will be a life-changer." Lin Heng has begun to relax his mind.

Li Yan threw out the key point of the topic: "Where's the cell phone?"

This group of roommates are indeed smart, with active thinking and strong memory. Even though they haven't discussed related topics for a while, Li Yan's words are enough for them to think of the Pineapple 3 in Chen Fan's hand.

Chen Fan was naturally the one with the most say: "You mean, 'smart phones' like Pineapple 3 are the future of mobile phones?"

"What do you think?"

"It's fun, but didn't Chen Fan say that this thing just has a bigger screen?" Zhu Qinglun replied.

"It's not just that the screen is big, but there is no software that can be used. QQ can't be used either. They say it's because the system is different or something." Chen Fan responded.

"What's the use of this?" Lin Heng asked.

Everyone seemed to agree with this answer. Seeing that Li Yan didn't say anything, Liang Tiancheng tried to provide some suggestions from a positive perspective:

"A larger screen does have its advantages. If it can be developed, the things that can be used will definitely be much better than what is available on current mobile phones. Just like QQ, it is very easy to use on a computer. If you can use QQ on a small phone just like on a computer, how cool it would be."

"It's not just QQ," Li Yan finally expressed his opinion. "The hardware of mobile phones will definitely continue to develop. Only using buttons to control will not be able to meet the various complex operating needs in the future. We can't use only keyboards when using computers. We still have to use mice. Look at the flexibility of mice. Touch screens have this kind of freedom and flexibility."

"You can also use the computer with just the keyboard." Chen Fan whispered, "You can always use the code."

"Mobile phones need to emphasize convenience." Li Yan changed the subject in one sentence. "I think that as mobile phones continue to improve, listening to music, watching movies, taking photos, and playing games on a mobile phone with such a large screen and flexible operation will directly replace MP3, MP4, digital cameras and PSP game consoles."

“Nowadays, mobile phones can also be used to listen to music, take photos, and play games.” Zhu Qinglun replied.

"Every profession has its own specialty." Li Ruofei continued, "MP3, MP4, digital cameras and game consoles, they only focus on one function, they must be better than mobile phones that integrate all functions."

The roommates seemed to agree with this statement, except Chen Fan.

"MP3 actually only emphasizes portability."

He didn't say anything more, but everyone understood what he meant.

"When everyone was using mobile phones, no one thought that mobile phones would be what they are today," Li Yan said. "Also, when mobile phones first appeared, many people believed that phones would have their own 'special' uses and would not be replaced."

"Indeed...it hasn't been replaced, right?" Liang Tiancheng glanced at the landline in the dormitory.

"A thing that was once universal can now only be used in specific scenarios. Its main function has been replaced by another product. Isn't it still replaced? We now put a mobile phone next to the landline in the dormitory and charge it every day. It can also replace the landline function. It's just a bit wasteful."

Liang Tiancheng was speechless, "Li Yan, I think you can try to participate in the debate competition."

"This is not a debate." Li Yan didn't like this word. It was a bit of an inexplicable emotional memory. It seemed that there was some bad memory of a debate in the previous life.

"The hardware level of mobile phones can be improved. I support it." Chen Fan took out the Pineapple 3 mobile phone and played with it. "At least I already have such a mobile phone. I heard that Nokia is also working on a touch-screen mobile phone."

"Maybe..." Lin Heng closed his eyes and said slowly, "In the future, mobile phone screens will become even bigger, but hardware is also improving. MP3s can also have far superior sound quality than mobile phones, and MP4s have far superior picture quality than mobile phones. Not to mention cameras, SLRs, no matter how they develop, the size of a mobile phone can never exceed that of a camera lens."

"That is to say, by then everything will be upgraded, just like now." Li Ruofei nodded.

Li Yan said calmly: "Most people don't need very high-end products in their lives."

"Huh? Because it's expensive?" Liang Tiancheng asked.

"The music, video and camera functions of current mobile phones are very poor, and not all phones have them. If people want to listen to music, watch movies and take photos, they still have to buy the corresponding products. This is determined by demand." Li Yan said.

"If mobile phones can reach the level of MP3 players nowadays..." Chen Fan muttered.

"There's no need to bring so many things. If you really want the ultimate in sound quality, why don't you get a high-end audio system at home?"

After Li Yan finished speaking, everyone was silent for a long time.

Chen Fan was the only one who could follow his train of thought. "I also believe that the memory of mobile phones will be improved and the performance will be enhanced, but what about the network? Taking a clear photo is very large. If I send it to you, my monthly data will be used up."

"Network construction will also be improved." Li Yan moved his fingers and clicked on the news about the "3G" network pilot. "Although it is still very unstable, it is at least something that a country is implementing."

"Hmm..." Chen Fan pursed his lips, "Li Yan, where is the software?"

"Hardware will improve, and so will technology." Li Yan turned and looked at Chen Fan, "Isn't there an open source Robert system?"

"Huh?" Chen Fan was stunned.

"Its kernel is based on Linux, as you know."

"What... do you want to do?"

"I believe that mobile phone hardware will be improved to the level we imagine. Then it will definitely not just be a device for listening to music, watching videos, taking photos, and playing games," Li Yan said faster and faster. "Chen Fan, this is a small computer. It may not be as fast as a computer in processing files, but everyone, everyone carries a small smart terminal. Do you know what this concept is?"

The other roommates were all quiet, as if they were watching a play.

"internet?……"

"Everyone is connected, everyone has location, this will completely change our lives, it will definitely change." Li Yan is very excited, "As long as there is a good enough software, for example, QQ on mobile phones has almost defeated SMS... If everyone uses QQ on mobile phones, there will be no SMS anymore."

“Do you want to… make software?”

"We still need some wonderful ideas." Li Yan nodded, "But we can do it first."

"Software... needs a system. There is no compatible software for Pineapple's system right now. To make software for mobile phones..." Chen Fan actually laughed, "Li Yan, you are crazy."

"Is this crazy?" Li Yan shook her head. "We still need to build a system."

“?”…” Although other people didn’t think anything of it, Chen Fan was in turmoil.

How dare Li Yan say anything?
I really don't think he's floating...

So am I drifting?
"You mean, you want to develop a mobile phone system and make software? This phone hasn't even appeared yet?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Chen Fan smiled and even scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

My roommates didn’t understand.

"Chen Fan," Li Yan's words seemed to have magic power, "If we can figure this out, it will be a world-changing event."

"Come to think of it," Chen Fan remained rational, "Why are you so confident about the future of mobile phones?"

Because the memory of the development of mobile phones is stuck, and mobile phones cannot become high-value investments, and people will not go bankrupt because of buying mobile phones, there is only one reason why God does not want him to cheat:
Mobile phones will inevitably change in the future!

If Li Yan were allowed to grasp the direction of this change, he might be able to take a shortcut to his reborn life.

You don’t want to tell me, right? Then I’ll make it myself.

It doesn’t matter if the road ahead is covered by fog. As long as you know that the road is ahead and the end is in the distance, you can just pave a road yourself.

But these cannot be said for sure.

"Confidence comes from my...thinking."

Just hearing this statement is indeed not very convincing, but in Li Yan's case, its credibility has increased by 50%.

And after the results are announced in two days, credibility will increase by another 50%.

Become the Bible.
