"In daily life, we can no longer live without mobile phones and the Internet, and children cannot help but be addicted to electronic devices. As parents, based on your family's experience, can you share how to arrange and treat electronic devices more reasonably?" At the new book sharing session of "Talking with children from the Internet to the Internet of Things", a parent asked Qiu Zhijun, professor of , the School of Information Science and Engineering, Fudan University.

"I will use something more fun to guide the child. For example, I gave Qiu Bowen the computer from the beginning and asked him to disassemble it. He found that after disassembling the computer, there were more interesting things - CPU, memory... more attractive than playing electronic games. In disassembly and assemble computers and mobile phones, the process of constantly exploring and discovering, the fun may be much more than playing electronic games." Qiu Zhijun replied.

is different from the general popular science books for young people. The article "Talking with Children From the Internet to the Internet of Things" recently launched by Shanghai Science and Technology Education Press is based on daily dialogue between fathers and children. The authors are Qiu Zhijun and Qiu Bowen and his son.

"From the Internet to the Internet of Things, the Internet has been embedded in all aspects of life. Today, the growth environment of this generation of teenagers is actually mainly based on the Internet environment, and learning and socializing on the Internet are indispensable spaces for their growth. This book comes from children's interest and love for information technology. In the process of interacting with children, I came up with the idea of ​​creating a problem-oriented popular science book, hoping to answer some of the children's confusion from shallow to deep in the form of dialogue." Qiu Zhijun talked about the original intention of creation.

What is 5G? What is cloud computing ? What is the meta universe? What is the Internet of Things? What is artificial intelligence ? Through relaxed and humorous language and rich pictures, "Talking with Children From the Internet to the Internet of Things" tells the information knowledge that you may be exposed to in daily life and in the future society in a way that is easily accepted by adolescents. While popularizing information technology knowledge to young people, the book also discusses the tenacious spirit shown by Chinese enterprises in the face of foreign high-tech blockade, integrating storytelling, popular science and education.

"This is a popular science book for young people that organically combines humanities with information science technology . It is very distinctive, especially the form of dialogue. It is the first book of this type of book I have seen. This relaxed form is conducive to young people getting started with information technology, and it is explained very clearly from the overall framework system to the key knowledge points." Academician of of Chinese Academy of Sciences, semiconductor physics and device expert expert , and semiconductor physics and device experts l1 Chu Junhao said, "From the Internet to the Internet of Things, to the current artificial intelligence and the metaverse, we can see the importance of scientific and technological innovation in the entire process. Today's young people must master scientific laws and learn knowledge from an early age in order to make inventions and promote technological development and the development of social industries. Through popular science reading, it is particularly important to improve their ability to master scientific methods and cultivate scientific spirit."

Qiu Zhijun shared with readers two short stories about the integration of popular science and humanities and history. Why is the Bluetooth function in mobile phone called "Bluetooth"? Qiu Zhijun explained that the term " Bluetooth " originated from Nordic. More than a thousand years ago, a Danish king liked to eat blueberries very much, and his entire gums were dyed blue. Therefore, everyone calls him the Bluetooth King. The king's name is Blatand, which means bluetooth in English. Later, the inventor of Bluetooth technology decided to name this high-tech after the king. The current Bluetooth symbol also originates from the Nordic Lun rune, the combination of the first letters "H" and "B" of the king.

What is the meaning and origin of the word " Hongmeng " in Huawei Hongmeng System ? Qiu Zhijun introduced that "Hongmeng" comes from "Journey to the West". In the first chapter of "Journey to the West", , Sun Wukong , after completing his apprenticeship, a poem appeared - "The original surname is not found in Hongmeng, and breaking the stubborn emptiness and needing to Wukong." In the poem, "Hongmeng" refers to the chaotic state of the world before the creation of the world. There is no rule in the whole world when there is no creation of the world.To break the stubborn emptiness, one must understand the truth means that one needs to break the original rules and let go of prejudice in order to understand something.

"Living in the smart era, children have to face various smart devices every day. In the future, they may also be exposed to more information technology knowledge. Technology is constantly improving, and our children are constantly growing. We have not finished the story about technology yet," said Qiu Zhijun.
