Wechat life

Hot 3837 views. 2015-4-6 10:53 | prevalence, becoming, friends, people, impact

Wechat is what we mostly refer to use. Its prevalence has made deep impact on our life and work. We use it not only for communication but also for sharing. When it comes to sharing, it is to do with interaction. The friends cycle is becoming such a place that we can see people are refreshing the phone from time to time to check if there are some news, including pics, gossips and some interesting links of news. On streets, trains, subways, buses, sidewalks (oops, this is considered as the dangerous behaviour when cars are passing by), pedestrains are everywhere. People are so fascinated to be into the cyber world even do not know if there is a tree or a telegraph pole stopped on the way. I even saw an old lady on the subway, taking out a smartphone and staring at wechat messages. Her proficient operation of using the phone quite made me stunned. An amazing world which has now really changed our life.

Yes, the cellphone is taking over our lives. A lot of things are centered on the cellphone nowadays. We use it as a regular voice phone, camera, information retrieval and internet chat. Everything is so ''electronic'' and there is no human feel in the contacts. When I go out to dinner with friends, they would quickly take photos of the food and send them to their loved ones. Everyone's head is down fixed on the cellphone screen. It seems hard to hold a talk to our friends warmly in person. I wonder where is all this going to end up? We all are held captive by cellphones.

Sometimes I wonder why we years ago, we can live well and efficiently without all these electronic gadgets and machines. Writing letters on paper became emails, notes became chats, simple phone became complicated cellphones, TV became computers, photos became electronic images. Trains are taken over by planes, buses became subway, Fans became airconditioners, Washing clothes done by machine, cooking without fire, staircases became elevators, newspapers became online news, more contacts but less love, more entertainment but less satisfaction, etc. Everything is automated or mechanized. Despite all these convenience, we still have less time than before. All these things are quietly taking away all out times and attention. Say I am old fashioned or unrealistic if you wish. I wonder if it is possible to return the  simplicity and wholesome lives we used to live before.

Yes, so I try to use phone as much as I can. Except for working days, I seldom use it. I'd rather let it stay quietly on the desk, and go for somewhere or sit alone to read or do some other things.

It keeps changing and developing. And traditional lifestyle is not most of us are likely to choose. While at some time, it is good to keep the old ways to live which is another new feeling pariticularly at this modern world.

The fast paced modern life usually makes us do everything in hurry, though we have more alternative methods to do what we want, it turns out that it does not really save us much time. A phone is on some level to be used as the tool to call and send messages, but we are easily going to be lost in various kinds of its functions, such as wehat, games, and other apps. It shows people are encountering problems of communicating with each other in person. Even we can not write well by hands, since the frequent use of computers and phones.
