Esikhathini esithile cishe ngo-1930, u-JRR Tolkien waqala lonke uchungechunge lwe-Lord of the Rings ngokutshela izingane zakhe izindaba zesikhathi sokulala ngomlingiswa omncane ayembiza ngokuthi "I-Hobbit." Wayephupha umhlaba weHobbit kusukela esemncane yena. Ngokwenza kanjalo, u-Tolkien wasungula ngokuphelele lonke uhlobo lwe-"Fantasy Adventure with Elves and Dwarves" yedwa.
Uphinde waphakamisa ukuthi yikuphi mhlawumbe ubuchwepheshe bekholi yenkomfa ebabazeka kakhulu eyake yaba khona, i-Palantíri, noma ukubona i-Stones of Númenor. Lawa bekuyisethi yamabhola ekristalu angu-7 ayengase asetshenziselwe inkomfa ngevidiyo esuka e-Eressëa yonke indlela yonkana eMiddle Earth.
Kulezi zinsuku zokugcina, amatshe alahlekile, ama-Elves ahambe ngomkhumbi aya eNtshonalanga, futhi "abantu abancane" bamatasatasa othangweni. Namuhla singakhetha omakhalekhukhwini bethu "emaphaketheni" ethu kanye nenkomfa yevidiyo nabantu abathathu abasabalele kuwo wonke amazwekazi amathathu mahhala.
Kodwa uma ubunokukhetha, iyiphi engcono: ucingo lwenkomfa, noma i-Seing Stone of Númenor?
AmaPalantíri ngokuqinisekile anqoba ku- cool factor . Ayengenakubhujiswa. Enziwa e-Undying Lands nguFëanor ngokwakhe, njengokufudumala kwamaSilmaril, ngaphambi kokuba uNúmenor acwile ngaphansi kwamagagasi.
Futhi babeyisikhombisa kuphela.
Lokhu yiqiniso, iphuzu labo elibuthakathaka. Ukuze uzitholele i-Seeing Stone of Númenor, kufanele ube yingxenye yohlu lwamakhosi angama-half-elf, noma okungenani kufanele ube ne-Keys to Orthanc noma indawo enjalo. Ngokuphambene nalokho, konke okudingekayo ukuze umuntu ahlele i- Video Conference yi-smartphone, futhi wonke umuntu unayo. Khomba i-teleconferencing.
Impela, ikhwalithi yomsindo ibaluleke kakhulu kwezokuxhumana, futhi ubuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphansi njengezingcingo zengqungquthela ze-Skype noma ze-VOIP bungaholela engxoxweni engemuva esabekayo ezwakala njengemimoya ehlukene ye-Orcs, Balrogs kanye ne-Nazgûl ngezinye izikhathi. Ubani odinga lokho kuphazamiseka?
Nakuba ngingeyena umnikazi we-Palantír ngokwami, ngawo wonke ama-akhawunti izingcingo zezingqungquthela zesimanje zisebenzisa omakhalekhukhwini zinesithombe esiqhathaniseka nekhwalithi yomsindo namagilabhu wengilazi ka-Fëanor. Kokubili kungabonisa isikrini esibanzi noma ukuvala, nezikrini eziningi ngesikhathi esisodwa. Zombili zinekhwalithi yomsindo ecacile. Ngenkathi i-Palantíri iphrojusa okuphakelayo kwayo komsindo ngqo ebuchosheni bakho, lokhu ngezinye izikhathi kungaba yinto enhle kakhulu, njengoba u-Pippin athola engxoxweni yakhe noSauron kokuthi "Imibhoshongo Emibili."
Enye indlela izingcingo zenkomfa zanamuhla ezingcono ngayo kunePalantíri ukuthi ziza neModerator Controls ukuze zisuse ama-Skype echoes, futhi ziqinisekise ukuthi amazinga evolumu awo wonke umuntu alungile. Futhi uma nje uqaphela ukuthi ungathumeli Izimemo Nezikhumbuzo kunoma yimaphi ama-Dark Lords amademoni, ngeke akwazi ukukuphazamisa.
Noma iyiphi ingxoxo yokuthi ama-Seeing Stones aseNúmenor ayengcono yini kunezingcingo zengqungquthela kufanele ihlole izici . Ezandleni ezinekhono, amaPalantíri ayekwazi ukubona emuva naphambili ngesikhathi, kanye nendawo. Lokho kuyinto enhle impela. Nakuba izingcingo zengqungquthela zingathathi isikhathi sokusetha , futhi yize ungabhukha izingcingo zengqungquthela kusengaphambili nge -Call Scheduling , awukwazi ukushayela uTolkien ngokwakhe emuva ngo-1940 bese umbuza ukuthi kungani engeze ama-Accënts cishe kuwo wonke ama-Nâme kuma-Bōōks akhe.
Khomba iPalantíri.
Futhi njengezingcingo zenkomfa, iPalantír nayo yafika nezinombolo zamahhala ezakhelwe ngaphakathi futhi yayingasethwa ukwenza izingcingo eziphindaphindayo . UPippin wakuthola lokhu lapho ethatha itshe likaSaruman elibonayo ngaphandle kwe-Orthanc, elalishayela iSauron ngesivinini. Lokho kwamfundisa ukuthi angene ezindabeni zabathakathi!
Kodwa ngokudabukisayo, uhlelo lokusebenza ku-Fëanor's Palantíri lwaqala ngaphambi kokusungulwa kwe-World Wide Web, ngakho-ke izingcingo zemihlangano zingcono kune-Seeing Stones ngezindlela ezithile ngoba zingahlanganyela kwi -Web Conferencing kanye nokwabelana ngesikrini . Ubuchwepheshe bezingcingo zemihlangano buthuthuka minyaka yonke.
Cabanga ngazo zonke izinkinga i-Fellowship of the Ring ebingazisindisa ukube bebenobuchwepheshe bezingcingo zengqungquthela obufinyeleleka kalula bentando yeningi! U-Boromir bekungeke kudingeke ukuthi athathe uhambo oluya enyakatho e-Rivendell esuka e-Minas Tirith izinyanga eziyisithupha ukuze nje athamele uMkhandlu wase-Elrond. Kodwa mhlawumbe kuyinhlanhla u-Tolkien akazange asungule ucingo lwenkomfa njengoba sazi, ngoba imuvi nezincwadi bekumnandi kakhulu ngaphandle kwazo.
Ngakho, ngokusekelwe ekuqhathanisweni kwesici ngasinye, ake sifingqe. Uma kungenzeka ukuthi uyinzalo eqondile ka-Isildur, indodana ka-Elendil, amaPalantíri ayizinketho ezinhle kakhulu zokuhlala uthintana no-Arwen Evenstar wakho othandekayo, umamezala wakho ongafi uGaladriel (manje ohlala e-Elvenhome noGandalf no-Elrond), futhi indandatho ethwele (kodwa engasekho) amakhosi abantu ayisishiyagalolunye namancane ayisikhombisa. Futhi mhlawumbe ungakwazi ukufinyelela emuva ekuntweleni kwesikhathi futhi ubone isandla esinamandla sika-Fëanor Curufinwë sisebenza.
Kodwa uma ungumuntu wokuzilibazisa ojwayelekile, futhi ungafisi ukugxambukela ezindabeni zabathakathi (okuyinto ehlale kuwumqondo omuhle), uma ufuna iringithoni eyodwa ukuze uthole bonke abangani bakho, bahlanganise bonke, futhi, "ekuxhumaneni zibophe," khetha eshibhile futhi ejabule ku-smartphone yakho.
Ezintweni eziningi zokuzilibazisa zanamuhla, izingcingo zezingqungquthela zingcono kune-Seing Stones.
Beka izinyawo zakho ezinoboya phezulu emgqonyeni we-"Old Winyards", bese usebenzisa i-teleconferencing ukuqoqa ozakwenu, noma umndeni, ukuze wehlele engxoxweni ejabulisayo yezinto ezibalulekile empilweni, njengokuthi isivuno salo nyaka "Old I-Toby" iyeza, noma leyo sihloko esiyinhloko kunoma iyiphi i-hobbit ehloniphekile:
"Isidlo sakusihlwa sani?"
Dala i-akhawunti yakho ye-FreeConference.com bese uthola ukufinyelela kukho konke okudingayo ukuze ibhizinisi lakho noma inhlangano yakho iqale ukusebenza, njengevidiyo nokwabelana ngesikrini , ukuhlela izingcingo , izimemo ze-imeyili ezizenzakalelayo, izikhumbuzi , nokuningi.
