On a winter afternoon, the sunlight shines through the windows of the teahouse, dappled onto the wooden tables and chairs. Wangcai sat by the window, holding a cup of hot tea, but his eyes pierced through the cold outside the window, as if he was pondering something.
"Wangcai, you seem to have something on your mind." Lao Li, the owner of the teahouse, walked over with a smile and refilled Wangcai's tea bowl.
Wangcai gently blew open the tea leaves and smiled slightly: "Lao Li, which electrical appliances do you think we can't do without in our daily life now?" ”
Lao Li thought for a while and said, "That's too much, TV, refrigerator, washing machine, air conditioner, computer...... Which one is not a must-have for every family? ”
Wangcai nodded, but shook his head again: "Yes, these electrical appliances have indeed brought a lot of convenience to our lives. But have you ever thought that with the advancement of technology, some electrical appliances may be gradually phased out? ”
Lao Li was stunned for a moment, and then became interested: "Oh? So tell me, which appliances are likely to be eliminated? ”
Wangcai put down the teacup and began to tell the story: "For example, traditional TV, now many people no longer watch TV, but use mobile phones, tablets or projectors to catch up on dramas and watch movies." Data shows that in recent years, the sales of TVs have been declining, while the sales of new display devices such as projectors have been increasing year by year. ”
Lao Li nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, young people now prefer to watch dramas on their mobile phones, and TV is almost a decoration." ”
Wangcai continued: "Another example is the washing machine, although the washing machine has now become a must-have appliance for the family, the washing machine in the future may be more intelligent and integrated. For example, some new washing machines are already able to automatically recognise the material and degree of stains of the laundry and adjust the washing program automatically. In the future, with the development of IoT technology, washing machines may be connected to other smart devices to achieve a more intelligent washing experience. ”
Lao Li sighed: "Technology is really changing with each passing day. ”
Wangcai continued: "There are also refrigerators, although the current refrigerators have been able to intelligently control temperature and store intelligently, but the refrigerators of the future may be more intelligent. For example, it can automatically identify the type of food and how long it has been stored, and automatically remind us which foods are about to expire. In the future, refrigerators may even be equipped with displays and audio equipment to become part of the home entertainment center. ”
Lao Li listened with relish: "What about the air conditioner?" Air conditioning shouldn't be obsolete, right? ”
Wangcai shook his head: "Air conditioners are also at risk of being replaced by new heating and cooling equipment. With the development and application of new environmentally friendly materials, more environmentally friendly and energy-saving heating and refrigeration equipment may appear in the future. Moreover, with the development of smart homes, future heating and cooling equipment may be more intelligent and personalized, and can automatically adjust the temperature according to the needs and preferences of users. ”
Lao Li sighed: "It seems that we, the older generation, have to learn new knowledge." ”
Wangcai smiled and said, "Yes, technology is advancing, and we have to keep up with the pace of the times." However, although these appliances may be obsolete, it does not mean that our lives will become inconvenient. On the contrary, with the advent of new appliances, our lives may become more convenient and comfortable. ”
Lao Li nodded yes: "You're right." The purpose of technology is to make our lives better. We should embrace change and actively adapt to life in the new era. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they both saw a beautiful vision of the future. The atmosphere in the teahouse has also become warm.
In this cold winter day, the prophecy of Wangcai made the people in the teahouse start to think about the impact and changes of technology on their lives. They realize that while some appliances may be obsolete, advances in technology will bring more convenience and comfort. They are looking forward to the future and believe in the power of technology to make their lives better.
And Wangcai has also found its own value and meaning in the process. He realized that as an ordinary person, he could also contribute to the progress and development of society through his own observation and thinking. He believes that in the days to come, he will continue to use his wisdom and enthusiasm to explore the mysteries of science and technology and the possibilities of the future.
