Ngexesha elithile malunga ne-1930, uJRR Tolkien waqala yonke iNkosi yeeRings uthotho ngokuxelela abantwana bakhe amabali amaxesha ebhedi malunga nomlinganiswa omncinci awayembiza ngokuba ngu "The Hobbit." Wayephupha ilizwe leHobbit okoko wayengumntwana ngokwakhe. Ngokwenza njalo, u-Tolkien waqamba uhlobo olupheleleyo lwe- "Fantasy Adventure with Elves and Dwarves".
Ubuye wacebisa ukuba yeyiphi eyona nkomfa ibalaseleyo yobugcisa ngalo lonke ixesha, iPalantíri, okanye ukubona amatye aseNúmenor. Ezi yayiziseti yeebhola zekristale ezisi-7 ezinokusetyenziselwa ukwenza i-videoconferencing ukusuka e-Eressëa kuyo yonke indlela yoMbindi woMhlaba.
Kule mihla yokugqibela, amatye alahlekile, ii-Elves zihambe ngenqanawa zisiya eNtshona, kwaye "abantu abancinci" kuphela kukuxinana kwihedgeow. Namhlanje sinokukhetha ii-smartphones zethu "ezipokothweni" nakwinkomfa yevidiyo nabantu abathathu abasasazeka kumazwekazi amathathu simahla.
Kodwa ukuba ubunokukhetha, yeyiphi engcono: umnxeba wenkomfa, okanye iLitye lokubona laseNúmenor?
I-Palantíri ngokuqinisekileyo iphumelele into epholileyo. Zazingenakonakala. Zenziwa kuMazwe Angafiyo nguFëanor ngokwakhe, njengemfudumalo kwiiSilmarils, ngaphambi kokuba iNúmenor itshone phantsi kwamaza.
Kwaye babesixhenxe kuphela kubo.
Oku kunjalo, inqaku labo elibuthathaka. Ukuze uzifumanele iLitye eliBoneyo laseNúmenor, kuya kufuneka ube ngowokumkani kumgca wesiqingatha se-elven, okanye ubuncinci kufuneka ube neZitshixo ze-Orthanc okanye kwindawo enjalo. Ngokwahlukileyo koko, wonke umntu ufuna ukuseta a I nkomfa yevidiyo yi-smartphone, kwaye wonke umntu unenye yezo. Yalatha kwi-teleconferencing.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, umgangatho wesandi ubaluleke kakhulu kunxibelelwano, kwaye iteknoloji engaphantsi njenge-Skype okanye iifowuni zenkomfa ze-VOIP zingabangela incoko yangemva ye-creepy evakala ngathi yimimoya ye-Orcs, i-Balrogs kwaye ngamanye amaxesha i-Nazgûl. Ngubani ofuna oko kuphazanyiswa?
Nangona ndingenayo iPalantír ngokwam, ngee-akhawunti zonke iifowuni zenkomfa zale mihla zisebenzisa iiselfowuni zinomfanekiso othelekisekayo nomgangatho wesandi kwiiglowubhu zeglasi zikaFëanor. Zombini zinokubonisa isikrini esibanzi okanye i-closeups, kunye nezikrini ezininzi ngaxeshanye. Zombini zinomgangatho womsindo ocacileyo wekristale. Ngelixa i-Palantíri iprojekthi ye-audio feed yayo ngqo kwingqondo yakho ngokuthe ngqo, oku ngamanye amaxesha kunokuba yinto entle kakhulu, njengoko uPippin wafumanisa kwincoko yakhe neSauron kwi-"The Two Towers."
Enye indlela iminxeba yenkomfa yanamhlanje are ngcono kunePalantíri kukuba beza nayo Ulawulo lweModareyitha Ukuphelisa ii-echoes ze-Skype, kwaye uqiniseke ukuba amanqanaba evolumu kuye wonke umntu achanekile. Kwaye nje ukuba uqaphele ukuba ungathumeli Izimemo kunye nezikhumbuzo kuzo naziphi na iiNkosi ezimnyama zeedemon, aziyi kukwazi ukubetha umnxeba wakho wenkomfa.
Nayiphi na ingxoxo malunga nokuba aMatye okubonayo eNúmenor ebengcono kuneefowuni zenkomfa kufuneka zivavanywe Iimbonakalo ngokunjalo. Kwizandla ezichubekileyo, iPalantíri yayikwazi ukubona umva naphambili ngexesha, kwakunye nesithuba. Kuhle kakhulu oko. Ngelixa iifowuni zenkomfa musa thabatha naliphi na ixesha ukuseta, kwaye nangona ungabhukisha iifowuni zenkomfa Phambili kunye Ukucwangciswa kweminxeba, awukwazi ukubiza uTolkien ngokwakhe emva kwe-1940 kwaye umbuze ukuba kutheni wongeza i-Accënts phantse yonke i-Nâme enye kwi-Bōōks yakhe.
Yalatha kwiPalantíri.
Kwaye njengeefowuni zenkomfa, uPalantír naye weza nokwakhelwa ngaphakathi Inombolo yasimahlas kwaye inokumiselwa ukwenza Ukufowuna okuqhubekayo. UPippin wafumanisa oku xa wayechola ilitye leSaruman lokuBona ngaphandle kwe-Orthanc, eyafowunela iSauron ngokukhawuleza. Ngokuqinisekileyo loo nto yamfundisa ukuba agxuphuleke kwimicimbi yoosiyazi!
Kodwa okubuhlungu kukuba, inkqubo yokusebenza kwiPalantíri kaFëanor yayingaphambi kokuveliswa kweWorld Wide Web, ngoko ke iinkomfa zafowuna. are ngcono kunokubona aMatye ngeendlela ezithile kuba banokubandakanyeka Inkomfa yeWebhu kwaye Ukwabelana ngesikrini. Itekhnoloji yomnxeba weNkomfa ibangcono minyaka le.
Cinga ngayo yonke ingxaki uBudlelwane beRingi obunokusindisa ukuba bebenobuxhakaxhaka bedemokhrasi, obufikeleleka lula kwinkomfa yefowuni yeteknoloji! UBoromir kwakunganyanzelekanga ukuba aye emantla ukuya eRivendell esuka eMinas Tirith kangangeenyanga ezintandathu ukuze nje aye kwiBhunga lase-Elrond. Kodwa mhlawumbi lithamsanqa ukuba uTolkien akazange aqulunqe umnxeba wenkomfa njengoko sisazi, kuba imuvi kunye neencwadi bezimnandi kakhulu ngaphandle kwazo.
Ngoko ke, ngokusekwe kuthelekiso-feature-by-feature, makhe sishwankathele. Ukuba uyinzala ngokuthe ngqo ka-Isildur, unyana ka-Elendil, i-Palantíri ziinketho ezilungileyo zokugcina unxibelelwano nesithandwa sakho u-Arwen Evenstar, umkhwekazi wakho ongafiyo uGaladriel (ngoku uhlala e-Elvenhome noGandalf no-Elrond), kwaye umsesane othwele (kodwa bangasekhoyo) ookumkani abasithoba babantu neendwalutho ezisixhenxe. Kwaye mhlawumbi ungabuyela emva ekuzeni kwexesha kwaye ubone isandla esinamandla sikaFëanor Curufinwë sisemsebenzini.
Kodwa ukuba uyinto eqhelekileyo yokuzonwabisa, kwaye awunqweneli kugxuphuleka kwimicimbi ye wizard (ehlala ingumbono olungileyo), xa ujonge ithowuni enye yokufumana abahlobo bakho, bahlanganise bonke, kwaye, "Kunxibelelwano babophe," khetha engabizi kwaye eyonwabisayo kwi-smartphone yakho.
Kwiindawo ezininzi zokuzonwabisa zanamhlanje, iifowuni zenkomfa zingcono kunokubona amatye.
Beka iinyawo zakho ezinoboya phezulu kumgqomo we "Old Winyards", kwaye usebenzise i-teleconferencing ukuqokelela oogxa bakho, okanye usapho lwakho, ukuze ufikelele kwingxoxo emnandi yezinto ezibalulekileyo ebomini, njengendlela yokuvuna kulo nyaka "Old". Toby" uyeza, okanye eyona nto iphambili kuyo nayiphi na i-hobbit ehloniphekileyo:
"Yintoni isidlo sangokuhlwa?"
Yenza iakhawunti yakho yeFreeConference.com kwaye ufumane ukufikelela kuyo yonke into oyifunayo kwishishini lakho okanye umbutho wakho ukubetha emhlabeni, njengevidiyo kunye Ukwabelana ngesikrini, Ukucwangciswa kweminxeba, Izimemo ze-imeyile ezizenzekelayo, izikhumbuzo, kunye nokuninzi.
