若你現在新登記成為 ICQ 的用家,你會被編配一個九位數字的 ICQ 號碼。這說明了,現時全球 ICQ 的用戶,數以億計!
若干年前,當我初用 ICQ 之時,獲編配的是六位數字號碼。數年之間,由幾十萬用戶增加到幾億,確是巨大增長!
這令我聯想起一些久遠的記憶。曾幾何時,香港的電話號碼只有六位數字,卻另有一個地區碼:香港區是五,九龍區是三,新界及離島區是一二(後改為零)。若打同區的號碼,只須撥六位數字即可;若跨區撥號,則須先撥區碼。
後來,區碼制取消,原來的五、三、零自動成為電話號碼的一部分,即變相成為七位數字號碼。維持了若干年後,到九十年代又增多一個數字,變成現在的八位數字電話碼。
數位愈多,即用戶愈多,同時這個世界也就愈複雜。六位號碼的年代,一本小小數頁的手寫電話簿,已可記下所有親戚朋友的電話;現在?大家居然要用到掌上電腦。
有趣的是,對當年那些六位數電話號碼,現在居然仍記憶猶新,隨口可以背幾個出來;但現在那些八位數的,反而就說不上來了。
