Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 325 Conception of the Internet Era in the Magic World
"Connor, the newspapers scolded you very badly."

In the magic experiment workshop next to Connor's Armstrong Tower.

Connor was researching his magic as always, and the experiment was not urgent, so Connor was experimenting with magic easily, and he had already regarded magic research as a pastime.

The 2b robot in a maid outfit was standing beside him holding juice, and the cute little angel sat beside Connor and watched him do the experiment solemnly.

The words just now were said by Blanche who was sitting on the other side reading the newspaper.

"Ha, it's a mediocrity not to be envied by others. I don't care how those happy people arrange me. Anyway, I won't lose a penny." Connor smiled lightly without raising his head: "The new version of Facebook is the only one. It’s just starting to go on sale, and after a while they won’t have time to scold me.”

Blanche put down the newspaper and looked over with a calm face: "So Connor is very confident in this new product?"

"Of course, this is an epoch-making product! Of course, it's not yet. I have recently broken through several technical barriers. The next version of Facebook will drive the world crazy."

Sensing the frenzy in Connor's words, Blanche tilted her head, not quite understanding: "What does Connor mean?"

Connor didn't stop what he was doing, and asked instead, "Blanche, what do you think of my version of Facebook?"

"Very powerful, very convenient, and easy to use." Blanche said concisely.

Connor smiled: "That's because there are too few people in our magic world. A Facebook with twenty contacts is enough to meet the needs of most people. You think it's very useful now, but in my eyes, This Facebook is still too troublesome.”

"Blanche, look at this."

Connor waved his hand, and a copy of The Times floated into Blanche's hands.

Blanche took it suspiciously, since when did Connor still have the habit of reading Muggle newspapers?This seems to be an old newspaper from a few months ago. A piece of news was framed with strokes, and Blanche read out the news:

"The WWW (World Wide Web) published on the Internet by Tim Berners-Lee, a doctor of physics in our country, has achieved great success."

After Blanche finished reading, she looked at Connor: "Connor, this is...?"

"WWW, the World Wide Web, Blanche, this is a new power that Muggles are about to master, enough to change the world. When we wizards are still tinkering with potions and obsessed with laser shooting, Muggles are already preparing to take the world into their pockets bingo."

"...Blanche doesn't understand."

Connor smiled and said, "Blanche, do you know about the Internet?"

Blanche shook her head, she was just a 13-year-old girl with some talent, how could she know such ghost things.

"You can understand that this is a network that connects the whole world together. It is a "network" for exchanging information. People can upload information to this network, store information, and transmit information through the network. , download information"

"Even two people separated on opposite sides of the Atlantic can communicate in real time as long as they are connected to the Internet"

"But...can't wizards do this too? Like Connor your Facebook."

Connor whistled: "That's because of me, there is something like Facebook. Without me, wizards would have to rely on owls to communicate with Yankees across the Atlantic."

"So...the Internet is nothing special, right?" Blanche tilted her head, not quite understanding.

"No, no, Blanche, you haven't seen the real power of information hidden in it. Information is not as simple as words and conversations. What we see, hear, and touch It doesn’t matter...everything in this world is actually a kind of [information].”

"The future will belong to the age of information, Blanche." Connor raised his head to look at the little cousin who was a little confused, and said with a smile:
"There is a limit to the ability of human beings, and the strength of a person is even more negligible, but there are indeed differences between individuals. The gap between the strong and the weak can be very, very large."

"We can think one-sidedly that the more information a person has, the stronger he will be. For example, knowledge, knowledge is a kind of information. The more knowledge he has, the stronger the individual will become. Something wrong."

Blanche thought for a while, then nodded, it seems that this is indeed the truth.

Connor spread his hands: "Since information is very important, the importance of the Internet, which can completely change the way information is disseminated, cannot be overstated."

Blanche was stunned, as if it was the same reason: "So, Connor, what do you mean?"

Connor showed an ambitious smile, and he opened his hands: "So I also want to build an [Internet] that belongs to our wizards. Facebook is just my first step. In the future I envision, wizards are not only It is free to talk through Facebook”

"For example, Blanche, do you know why you can't use magic well?"

"Because Blanche has no talent for casting spells."

"No, no, well, it's actually considered, but, isn't it because your bloodline lacks this [information] about casting spells that you can't cast spells?"

Blanche was stunned again, and then heard Connor say:

"If I [upload] this kind of information that you lack to the magic network I built, and then you [download] this kind of magic information in a certain way, then can you also cast spells freely?"

Blanche's pupils narrowed sharply, and she said with a little trembling: "Connor... can this really be done?"

Connor shrugged and said with a smile: "Of course, this is just my idea at the moment. I don't know if it will be successful now. Even if it can be done, I don't know how many years later it will be."

"My short-term goal is to build a simple network on which wizards can communicate freely. At that time, Facebook will not need to exchange lenses so much trouble. In fact, if I want to achieve this level, I can almost succeed. Well, the lore I have from Ravenclaw is enough to allow me to do this."

Blanche was still immersed in the shock and couldn't extricate herself. In fact, "Squib" has always been a knot in her heart. Although she can do simple spellcasting, she is always different from wizards.

She has always felt that she is far away from Connor's world, although she has been working hard to get closer, but she also clearly knows that the gap between wizards and squibs is not so easy to bridge.
But in the future that Connor described... maybe it is really possible
"Haha, Blanche, come and try this thing for me~"

Suddenly, Blanche saw something thrown towards her by Connor, she hurriedly took it, and after a closer look, it was a pen?pen?

Blanche tilted her head, her big eyes were full of doubts.
