The speed of technological development is accelerating, in the eighties and nineties of the last century, everyone hung half a palm-sized BB machine around their waist, and then called the pager staff and told the staff the other party's BB machine number, their own number and the information to be sent. Don't look at the operation of the BB machine is complicated and can not communicate in real time, but at that time the BB machine was really hot. Maybe everyone who used the BB machine at that time could not imagine that in the 21st century today, there will be smart phones, not only can make calls, but also go online, play games, and even do not need to go offline to buy things, online purchase of goods has become the main way for everyone to shop. They wouldn't even have imagined that there would be an electronic device that could hear sounds as long as they wore them in their ears; It is even more unthinkable that in addition to watching the time, the watch can also do many things that smart phones cannot do, such as monitoring the user's physical health and so on.
From big brothers to button machines, to semi-touch screen machines, and then to today's smart phones, the development of smart devices has gradually affected everyone's life. For example, in the past, everyone went to the game hall to play games, or a game boy with a hand, of course, many children today should have never seen this first-generation portable game console of Nintendo; When you go out to travel, you may have a "point-and-shoot camera", which is simple to operate, easy to carry, and more importantly, the price is negotiable.
In the late 1950s, a term "three turns and one ring" was also known as "four big pieces", referring to radios, bicycles, sewing machines and watches, and perhaps the younger generation could not imagine that in that era it was everyone's dream to have three turns and one ring, after all, things were scarce and expensive, and in that era of material scarcity and planned economy, money could not necessarily buy materials. By the 1970s and 1980s, bicycles, watches and sewing machines were called the "big three." For example, bicycles, in that era when security relied on dogs and traffic was walked, owning a bicycle was a symbol of "superiority". Generally only the working class can afford to buy a bicycle, and a bicycle often requires a worker's salary for a year.
With the continuous enrichment of living materials, the new four major pieces basically put the old four pieces to an update, into the 21st century, the types and functions of electronic products are more and more, it is more and more convenient to use, people are more and more pursuing a sense of innovation and freshness, and these tools bring people more and more comfortable feelings. From televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, and tape recorders to computers, cell phones, headphones, and digital cameras. Living consumption has gradually upgraded, and people's living standards have also improved day by day.
Just like whether it was the 50s or the 70s or 80s, watches were one of the items that everyone needed at that time. Even now, the watch is still one of the most purchased items, especially after having a smart watch, no longer limited to looking at the time to see the date, smart watches can also help everyone always pay attention to their own physical health, such as measuring blood pressure, monitoring sleep, and even acting as a sports watch, recording your every exercise process and calories consumed, have to lament the rapid development of science and technology to bring about life changes.
Feature machine upgraded to smart phones, today's smart phone core is powerful enough to provide everyone with powerful performance, whether it is mobile phone games, taking photos and videos, or real-time chat real-time video calls, in this era is almost a breeze to achieve; From on-the-go wired headphones to wireless Bluetooth headphones, it's no longer difficult to have an immersive listening experience.
There may still be many families that still retain these old items, every time they are turned out, they can touch the traces of time, even if the rapid development of science and technology today, modern science and technology "three-piece set" instead of the last century's "three-piece set", but it is undeniable that they are the basis for the rapid development of our modern science and technology.
