In the bustling city, there are a series of unknown "strange things". These strange things are not strange phenomena in science fiction, but social phenomena that people are gradually becoming aware of in real life. A young reporter named Li Yang stumbles upon a rumor about the "Ten Strange Things", and he decides to investigate deeply and uncover the true face of these strange things.
1. Addiction to smart devices
When Li Yang walked into a café, he saw that almost every customer had a smartphone, and their eyes were always locked on the screen, as if the mobile phone had become their only link to the world. A young man named Xiao Chen told Li Yang: "I feel uncomfortable without looking at my phone all day now, and I feel that I have lost the meaning of life. Li Yang realized that the popularity of smart devices had put people in a state of addiction.
2. Virtual reality mania
In a virtual reality experience hall, Li Yang witnessed the scene of people wearing VR glasses and fully immersed in the virtual world. They laughed, screamed, or got drunk, as if they forgot that they were in the real world. The owner of the experience hall told Li Yang: "Nowadays, people like to escape from reality and pursue excitement and novelty. ”
3. The rise of the Internet celebrity economy
In the bustling commercial street, Li Yang noticed that there were crowds of people in front of the Internet celebrity shops. These stores are often opened or endorsed by some well-known Internet celebrities, attracting a large number of fans to check in. One shopkeeper revealed: "As long as we invite an Internet celebrity to live broadcast, our business can be booming." "The rise of the influencer economy has impacted traditional business models.
Fourth, single aristocrats prevailed
On a bench in the park, Li Yang met several single young people. They dress fashionably and talk funny, but they all say they are wary of marriage. One of the girls, Xiaoli, said: "I think it's good to be single, free, independent, and not responsible for others. "The prevalence of single aristocrats has gradually weakened the traditional concept of family.
Fifth, the pet economy is booming
In the pet hospital, Li Yang saw many pet owners bringing their pets to the clinic. They buy expensive food, toys, and clothing for their pets, and even buy insurance for their pets. A pet owner told Li Yang: "My pet is like my child, and I am willing to give everything for it." "The prosperity of the pet economy reflects people's deep affection for pets.
Sixth, health anxiety spreads
In the gym, Li Yang saw many people sweating and exercising. They worry about their weight, stature, and health, and are constantly striving for the perfect body and health. A fitness coach told Li Yang: "People nowadays are too anxious, always worried that they will get sick. "The spread of health anxiety has plunged people into endless worries and anxieties.
7. The rise of knowledge payment
In the library, Li Yang found that more and more people chose to buy online courses or attend paid lectures to gain knowledge. They are willing to pay for knowledge and pursue a more efficient and professional way of learning. A paid user of knowledge told Li Yang: "I think paid learning can help me master knowledge and skills faster. "The rise of knowledge payment has changed the way and way people access knowledge.
8. Social media dependence
On social media platforms, Li Yang sees people keen to share their lives and feelings. They use likes, comments, and retweets to maintain relationships, and even use social media as their primary social channel. One social media user told Li: "I feel like I can find more like-minded friends on social media. "The increasing reliance on social media has led people to gradually ignore real-life communication and interaction.
9. Artificial intelligence grabs jobs
At a high-tech company, Li Yang sees robots and intelligent algorithms gradually replacing human jobs. They perform a variety of tasks efficiently, accurately, and tirelessly, putting many jobs in traditional industries at risk of disappearing. A worker who was laid off told Li Yang: "I didn't expect artificial intelligence to take my job. "The rise of artificial intelligence has turned the job market upside down.
10. The concept of environmental protection is indifferent
In the streets and alleys of the city, Li Yang saw garbage everywhere and serious pollution. However, many people turn a blind eye to this and continue to live their lives as they are. A citizen told Li Yang: "I think environmental protection is a matter for the government, and it has nothing to do with me." "The indifference to the concept of environmental protection has made the earth's environmental problems more and more serious.
After an in-depth investigation, Li Yang compiled these strange things into a report. "These strange things don't exist in isolation, they are interrelated and affect each other," he wrote in the report. We need to face up to these problems and find solutions. "This report has attracted a lot of attention from the society and has also made people start to reflect on their own lifestyle and values.
