他们和爱因斯坦一样,因自己的发明而后悔

今天是爱因斯坦逝世60周年纪念日,他曾建议美国制造原子弹,但后来将此视为一生中最大的错误。像他一样,还有很多创造性的天才为自己的“杰作”而后悔。比如AK47之父,还有弹出式广告和办公隔间的发明者。

    9.表情符号

    如今经常用在短信和社交媒体上的卡通表情又被叫作“表情符”,它们最初源自用三个简单的字符(冒号、破折号、括号)来模拟笑脸的表情。它是30年前由一位名叫斯科特•法尔曼的计算机科学教师发明的,用来在电脑通讯中表示“我在开玩笑”。2013年,自称“老古董”的法尔曼叹道:“有时我觉得自己就像弗兰克斯坦博士,我的发明起初是良性的,但它后来发展到了我不赞成的方向。”

    9.Emoticons

    Today, the cartoon image icons used in texting and on social media are called emoji and stickers, but they began with a simple set of characters (colon, dash, close parenthesis) used to represent a smiley face. It was popularized 30 years ago by computer science teacher Scott Fahlman, as a way to say in typed communications, “I’m joking.” In 2013, self-proclaimed fuddy duddy Fahlman lamented, "Sometimes I feel like Dr. Frankenstein," he says. "My creature started as benign but it's gone places I don't approve of."
