Humans are called Homo sapiens not merely because they can use fire and tools, but because of the network formed by the hundreds of millions of neural synapses beneath their skulls. These simple neural connections, driven by bioelectricity, converge every moment into storms within the brain, giving rise to one milestone achievement after another. Those who come later build upon the foundations laid by their predecessors, continuing to raise this tower to the heavens in the hope of unraveling the mysteries of the universe. When the Industrial Revolution began, humanity shifted gears and entered a faster lane: from the loom to Babbage's Analytical Engine, from vacuum tubes to transistors, from centralized processing to distributed computing. On the evening of October 29, 1969, two computers in a University of California, Los Angeles laboratory first transmitted the letters L and O in "Login" over a network cable. Today, the whole world is connected, and the internet lets information transcend time and space. The seeds of the information age have only just been sown in this world. They take root in the earth, join with everything they encounter, and transform all that surrounds them, like the AllSpark from Transformers. Today, fields ranging from biomedicine and physics to artificial intelligence, both traditional and cutting-edge, can no longer do without the internet. The whole world is like a brain, with all its neurons establishing hundreds of millions of connections, engaged in this great storm of thought...
