財富精英勵志演講 第56期:信息技術的力量(5)

[00:00:29]In the farmer suitacle industry, the ability to simulate the interaction of chemicals, 在農業(yè)育種工業(yè)，如果我們能模仿化學元素之間的相互作用， [00:07:57]and do it in the computer rather than in test-tubes and Petri dishes, 用計算機而不是用試管和培養(yǎng)皿做試驗， [00:13:35]can speed up by years the discovery and testing of new farmer suitacle. 我們將可以幾年幾年的縮短農業(yè)新品種的發(fā)現(xiàn)和測試時間。 [00:21:16]Mercedes, BMW, Fiat, Volvo, SAAM all design cars today on computers, no physical markups, no models. 梅塞德斯、寶馬、菲亞特、沃爾沃......現(xiàn)在都在計算機上設計汽車，不再需要實際制做模型。 [00:33:33]And aviation does so, pioneer many of these techniques, and Boeing broke new ground when it designed the 777 airplane entirely on computers. 航空工業(yè)也是這些技術的積極倡導者，波音公司破天荒地將 777 飛機的設計完全在計算機上完成。 [00:46:37]It was a very bold move, and even some of Boeing's engineers had trepidations. 這是一個非常大膽的舉動。甚至是一些波音的工程師都感到恐慌。 [00:54:43]I had trepidations because three month after I joined IBM I went out to Boeing to see my good friend Frank SCHURZ , who was the CEO. 我也感到恐慌，因為在我加入 IBM 三個月后去拜訪我的好朋友波音公司 CEO Frank 時， [01:03:00]And Frank said to me, "Since this new airplane was built on your computers, maybe you should go on the first flight." Frank 對我說："既然這種新飛機是在你們的計算機上建造的，那么也許你應該參加它的首次試飛。" [01:15:28]And I said, "It is my wife's birthday." And he said, "I did not even tell you the date yet. Coward!" 我回答說："那天是我妻子的生日。"他說："可是我還沒告訴你試飛的日期呢。膽小鬼!" [01:27:26]Computer simulation saves time, saves money, and it gives customers a competitive advantage, and it can do more than that. 計算機模擬能夠節(jié)省時間、節(jié)省費用、能使用戶更具競爭力，它還能做更多的事。 [01:37:04]Recently the US department of energy asked IBM to build a gigantic super computer to simulate nuclear weapons 最近美國能源部要求 IBM 建造一臺巨型超級計算機用以模擬核武器， [01:50:07]so that they will never have to be exploded for test purposes, ever again. 這樣他們就再也不用進行核爆炸試驗了。
