f your cell phone doesn't ring all day, will you not feel used to it? Do you know what to do when you meet with difficult problems and do not turn to the Internet? Sitting on the bus, without MP3 or game console, will time go by slowly? Since when, more and more electronic products around us, mobile phones, computers, DVDs, digital cameras, handheld games, MP3, MP4, and the latest IPAD... Gary Shapiro, president of the Consumer Electronics Association of America, said that China's total retail sales of consumer electronics in 2010 are expected to account for 13% of the world's total, and has become a major consumer of electronic products. More than 70 percent of the 16,397 respondents admitted they depended on electronic products and felt inconvenient once they left, according to a recent online survey. For the new electronic products, 35.26% of the people have the desire to buy, 41.64% of the people do not, 23.10% of the people choose "do not know".
More and more high-speed development of electronic products not only changes the face of the world, but also constantly changes the way people live and think. They make life faster, faster, and more interesting, but they are also known as "electronic heroin" and become an irresistible dependence in our lives.
A was kidnapped by electronic technology.
Zhang, a 27-year-old typical otaku, works for an Internet company with three big treasures: a computer, a mobile phone, and an I-PAD. At work, he spends eight hours a day in front of the computer, even during his lunch break, playing games online with his colleagues. After work, just got on the bus, he took out MP3 to listen to music, and then connected his mobile phone to QQ, chatting with friends while speaking on micro-blog. When he got home, he began to play games with his IPAD, and the TV in the living room never tired of broadcasting the news. Xiao Zhang said that he spent almost four years working after graduation in this way, these charged digital products constitute his life.
The change of electronic products to life is almost revolutionary. With radio and MP3 players, we don't have to go to the theatre anymore; with email, traditional handwritten letters are on the verge of extinction like giant pandas; with e-books, maybe one day we won't see paper books; even sport is in danger of being simplified, the popular video game console WII, let's play. The ball does not need to go to the playground. It becomes something that can be done at home with its arms swinging.
The Internet survey showed that more than half of the people continued to use electronic products more than 8 hours a day, and 37.2% of them spent more than 10 hours a day. In the study, communication, entertainment electronic products, more than 60% of people have 1 to 3 pieces, a few people even have more than 15 pieces. Among them, mobile phones, computers, television accounted for the highest proportion, from GPS navigators to electronic photo frames, handheld games, as long as the electronic products can be produced, someone will have.
B from health, emotion to lack of culture
The most popular thing in the world is to blog. "As competition grows, many bloggers feel the need to keep posting new content 24 hours a day," says a New York Times report. The final result is sleep chaos and weight loss. In the past few months, 3 bloggers died from diseases related to overwork.
In a post about e-books on a domestic forum, someone said, "These addictive'e-heroin'not only does harm to our health, but also brings us emotional and cultural deficiencies.
The brain is seriously damaged. In daily life, electronics constantly send messages to the brain, and excessive stimulation depletes the brain's natural functioning. Being in such an environment for a long time will lead to the decline of memory, slow reaction and inattention.
Mental anxiety is irritable. If you forget to bring your cell phone or your computer to work, it will make many people feel uncomfortable. Whether you rely on electronic products very well, identify them, turn them off and see if you feel anxious. People who rely on electronic products will have a strong craving or impulse, reduce or stop using it will appear all over the body discomfort, irritability, irritability, inattention, sleep disorders and other reactions.
Addiction changes personality. Electronic products can cause people's lack of sense of reality, withdrawal of social skills, and even lead to depression. When the addiction to electronics goes to the point of addiction and irrationality, personality changes dramatically.
Loss of traditional culture. Xia Xueluan, a professor in the Department of Sociology at Peking University, points out that many people forget to write when they are used to computers; games and TV programs have replaced traditional reading, and even reading books like to read online novels. Traditional culture may fade away in these flashing screens.
C calm down to electronic products
In October 2010, Mr. Jiang of a key middle school in Shapingba, Chongqing, confiscated seven mobile phones, four MP4 and two PSP game consoles in less than two months. "One student has just been handed over a cell phone, and in the next few days he has another one." Teacher Jiang said helplessly. Parental indulgence in children has become one of the causes of the flooding of electronic products.
Children should be moderately exposed to electronic products. As soon as the new IPAD comes out, it has become a new favorite of many teenagers; writing homework with computers is no longer a new thing. Children are more likely to rely on electronic products. Parents should make sure that they do not watch TV for more than half an hour every day, and try not to watch TV after dinner.
