Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 397 Oh ~ computer
After a late breakfast, Connor decided to go to London again.

I originally planned to go to Laike Company to take a look at it yesterday, but I didn't make it because I didn't have enough time. I have to make up for it today.

Connor called Blanche, who was sketching outside early in the morning to practice her painting skills, and went directly to the main building of Lake Company in London through Floo.

When I walked out of the fireplace, there was no one in the room.

"Dad should be working downstairs. He seems to be very busy recently." Blanche said.

Connor nodded, and the two walked out of the room and took the elevator to the floor of Shire's office. Both of them hid themselves, and Muggles couldn't see them. Just as Connor approached the door of Shire's office, he heard a burst of noise. The familiar "crack clap clap" sound
"." Connor opened the door with a strange expression, and then saw Charles typing on the keyboard
Seeing that someone opened the door without permission, Charles raised his head with a frown, and saw that it was Connor and Blanche who immediately put on bright smiles:

"Baby! And Connor, why are you here? You didn't say anything in advance." Charles left the table and ran over, giving Connor and Blanche a warm hug.

While Ciel was talking to Blanche, Connor walked around Ciel and came to his desk, and began to observe the 14-inch "big head".

That's right, it's a computer. I was shocked to see such a living computer with a big head-up display!Connor has a sense of surprise that he has accidentally discovered an endangered animal.
"Hey, Connor, are you interested in PC?" Charles walked towards Connor with a bright smile on his face, showing off.

Connor nodded calmly.

On the other side, Charles's smile became brighter and brighter. In his opinion, wizards absolutely don't understand this thing. This made him find some sense of superiority after a long absence. He said proudly: "This is a personal computer! Not long ago, all the employees of our company The staff has all been replaced with personal computers, and the old word processors (upgraded typewriters) have been replaced, which is a wonderful thing, and he can-"

"Can this thing go online?" Connor waved his hand and directly interrupted Charles' long speech.

Charles's smile froze on his face. He really didn't expect to hear the word Internet from this nephew. Are wizards so trendy now?

"Yes, yes, it can connect to the Internet, and it can connect you to the whole world! Now it is used by big companies in London. Our company's personal computers are all the best, with 2MB of memory and a hard disk. There are 128MB"

Connor didn't listen carefully to what Charles said, he was lost in thought.

In fact, he has always been concerned about the development of the Internet, but the last time he went to Lake Company and saw that they were still using typewriters, this time they all replaced them with computers. Connor was a little surprised by this.

"What do you all use computers for now?" Connor asked the dry-mouthed Charles.

"We have built a local area network within our company, and employees can send emails to each other. Work communication is much more convenient, and I am writing manuscripts now."

Connor nodded and listened, and gradually lost his mind. Although the World Wide Web has not yet been implemented, various applications of personal computers can already bring a lot of convenience to people's work.

In the next few years, Internet technology will usher in explosive development, and personal computers will also become popular. The Muggle world is also embracing the tide of the times.
and also
"Drip drip-"

The Motorola on the desktop rang, Charles quickly picked it up, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'll answer the phone first."

Connor watched Ciel go to the balcony to answer the phone, and suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. The world seemed to be moving on the track he was familiar with, if there was no magic.
"Connor, that's a cell phone. It's a phone that you can take with you. It's the Facebook of the Muggle world. Dad talked to that cell phone every day after he came home a while ago, but he could only hear the voice but couldn't see his face. "Blanche enthusiastically introduced to Connor.

Connor's face was strange. The term "Facebook in the Muggle world" is quite emotional, but in the future, Facebook will still appear in the Muggle world. Connor has already planned it. Before Zuckerberg made his fortune, he registered the domain name facebook. After all, I am the "Facebook founder" now.

"Hahaha, technology is still not as convenient as magic, and Facebook is much more powerful than this phone." Charles came back soon after finishing the call: "Sorry, I chatted with someone about some business matters, Connor, what are you doing today? Why are you here when you are free? What do you want to drink? Black tea or coffee?"

Connor and Blanche sat down at the side, "I don't drink coffee. I originally planned to come here yesterday, but I postponed it until today because of some accidents, and I've been busy with the Monster Cup recently, so the company didn't pay much attention to it. If you have free time in these two days, come and have a look."

"Hahaha, you don't need to worry about things here. The company has been developing steadily. Whether it's Lake Pharmaceuticals or comic magazines, they haven't encountered any difficulties."

Charles made tea for the two of them. He is now considered a successful person. There are not many Squibs who can reach his status in the Muggle world. It's all his own blood and sweat, and Charles still has a sense of accomplishment.

"I don't care whether you are profitable or not. I just want to tell you about the future development direction of the company." Connor waved his hand, then pointed to the computer on Charles's desk, and said, "That, personal computer, Uncle Charles How much do you know?"

"Computer?" Charles scratched his head: "Of course I don't understand this. If most companies in London started to use computers, I wouldn't even know there were such machines. At the beginning of the year, we were still using computers. with a word processor"

"Then do you know anyone who understands this?"

"Well, I have a few classmates who work at Pipex, and I just heard from them that they can use their mobile phones to dial up the Internet now."

Connor picked up the teacup and tapped the rim with his index finger, "Uncle Shire, what do you think of the Internet?"

"Ah? It's amazing. Muggles can also rely on technology to do things that can only be done by magic. I think maybe one day they can make a machine like Facebook!"

"." Then you really have vision, Connor smiled: "There will be such a day, and it just so happens that what I want to talk about is related to this personal computer."

"Huh? Do you also want to do computer business? But I heard that this thing is very expensive, and now our company doesn't have that much liquidity."

Connor shook his head: "It's not the best time for us to enter. But we can already do some preparations, Uncle Shire. In the past few years, you should pay more attention to computer talents and prepare for entering. "

Charles frowned and said, "Connor, are you really planning to intervene in this area? You must know that I am a complete layman in this area, and this industry is just in its infancy. No one knows what will happen in the future." I can't guarantee it, but I'm going to get involved now. Is it appropriate?"

"It's suitable, it's very suitable." Connor took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Uncle Charles, I can tell you very clearly that computers are the future of mankind. In the future, isn't this appropriate?"
