There are all kinds of things that have been eliminated by mobile phones, and these items that once played an important role in our lives are now gradually disappearing with the popularity of mobile phones.
Those gadgets that used to accompany us are now "laid off" because of the appearance of mobile phones.
Music Player (MP3)
I have to mention those music players that were once all the rage. Previously, people would use specialized MP3 or CD players to enjoy music, and these devices were not only bulky but also inconvenient to carry.
However, nowadays, with just a mobile phone, we can listen to our favorite songs anytime and anywhere, whether through an online music platform or download locally, which is extremely convenient.
Game
For example, the "Tetris" game console that once accompanied us through countless boring times can only be seen in museums now, right?
And then there's the colorful Walkman, which we used to listen to music, but now it's just a collector's item.
In the past, people needed to buy physical consoles to play games. But with the rise of mobile games, many people prefer to play games on their mobile phones because of the variety of mobile games, the rapid update of mobile games, and the ability to interact with friends online.
Traditional cameras
Traditional cameras are also typical of the obsolescence of mobile phones. In the past, people would bring a camera with them when they traveled or attended important events to capture the moments.
However, with the continuous upgrading of mobile phone cameras, many people now use their mobile phones to take pictures, and even take professional-level photos. The portability and instant sharing function of mobile phones have gradually made the camera withdraw from people's daily life.
Newspapers and magazines
Some paper media have also been phased out due to the popularity of mobile phones. For example, newspapers, magazines, etc., people used to get news and information through these channels.
Now, however, people can browse various news sites and social media platforms to get the latest information and updates at any time by simply turning on their mobile phones.
Flashlight and desk phone
In the past, people often needed to carry flashlights when they traveled or looked for something at night. Now, most smartphones have a built-in flashlight function, which can easily illuminate the darkness with a simple operation.
Once upon a time, both the home and the workplace could not live without the desk phone. But with the popularity of mobile phones, the usage of desk phones has decreased significantly. Nowadays, people are more inclined to use their mobile phones to make calls because it is not only portable, but also has more features.
What's even funnier is that some "occupations" have also been "unemployed" because of the advent of mobile phones.
Imagine those pager boys who used to run all over the streets, they were the messengers of information in the past! But as soon as mobile phones appeared, everyone could send and receive messages anytime and anywhere, and their work became redundant.
There are also those uncles and aunts who sell newspapers, we used to run to the side of the road to buy newspapers and read the news, but now with a swipe of our mobile phones, we can grasp all the major events in the world, and their business is gradually declining.
There are even some thieves who have lost their "jobs" because of the popularity of mobile phone payments, because now everyone goes out without cash, and thieves have no way to start.
Two years ago, a thief smashed seven cars, but only stole 32 yuan, which is really not worth it!
Write at the end
The popularity of mobile phones has indeed brought a lot of convenience to our lives, but at the same time, some once important items and occupations have gradually disappeared.
This is not only the embodiment of scientific and technological progress, but also the inevitable result of the changes of the times.
