The novelty on the Internet reverses so quickly that you even see the follow-up to the drama as soon as you get to the heartwarming beginning.
Two days ago, the video of "iPhone 4S 10 years ago was unlocked" was slaughtered on major social platforms.
It has become an app for tears, a video of the kitten at home when he was alive...... The blogger's past memories from the old mobile phone have attracted infinite sighs and nostalgia from passers-by.
However, before netizens wiped away their tears, the matter had already reached the stage of anti-fraud.
Some people questioned that if the phone is not turned on for 10 years, the clock information module of the motherboard will be automatically cleared, and it is impossible to have a situation where the mobile phone is still automatically counting down automatically in the state of shutdown for 10 years.
The date is suspicious, the lock screen time is ambiguous, and everyone is finally mobilized to soften their emotions, is it used as a tool for starting traffic?
01 The old cat who passed away is still alive in the mobile phone 10 years ago
It is said that the blogger's mobile phone was accidentally locked by a parent in 2015, and because she had changed to a new mobile phone, she did not bother to unlock it even if she was notified that there were still 80,000 hours to unlock it.
The old phone was put in a drawer and left for 10 years.
Not long ago, she suddenly remembered this mobile phone that had been forgotten in the corner, bought a 30pin connector charger from 10 years ago, and finally opened the Pandora box at this time.
A classic swipe right unlock gesture instantly takes everyone back to the world of 10 years ago.
The on-screen Xiami music and Guevara movies have been identified, the original WeicoPro has been completely replaced by the current Weibo client, and the system's built-in photos, music, and Safari icons have nothing to do with the current one.
At the beginning, Didi Chuxing was still next to the word, Alipay was also called Alipay wallet, and Renren, which buried the entire youth of the post-90s, has not stopped serving and running.
The most surprising thing is that Meituan turned out to be a blue icon, and time has passed, and now blue has become the color of support for home.
Behind the change in the appearance of this icon, the name change or disappearance of the app, there is a long technological iteration, and it has also witnessed countless wars without gunpowder on the Internet.
As every ordinary person who has benefited or suffered from it, I have to sigh that my life has changed dramatically with them over the years.
What moved everyone the most was the kitten video on her mobile phone.
The reason why the blogger didn't choose to flash the remake was also because he was reluctant to make these precious memories.
When she turned on the phone again, the deceased kitten seemed to be living in the phone all along, just waiting for her to open the photo album after 80,000 hours to see what the little owner had become now 10 years later.
There is no one who will not be moved by this sudden memory killing.
Looking at the mobile phones used in the past, those games and applications that have accompanied me for countless days and nights, what have become the tears of the times are these old objects, and of course, the self who has become a numb social person.
However, as mentioned at the beginning of the article, the blogger soon ushered in all kinds of doubts, and the viral video eventually could not escape reports, complaints, abuse, and doubts.
Netizens who recalled killing their heads, only after thinking about it did they realize: the early iPhone, the ten-year appointment, and the kitten, the traffic elements are too complete.
But are we really full of emotion for this netizen's lost and regained memories?
The tears of the times are mixed with everyone's tears, which really makes people sigh. All we miss is who we were 10 years ago.
02 Ten years ago, cutting fruit was the best game
Looking at the daily life that was frozen 10 years ago, it is inevitable to arouse the innocent emotions of An Lingrong when she did not become a poisonous woman.
Some people think of their 15-year-old self, although they were ignorant at that time, but fortunately their father was still around;
Some people recall that they have been locked for 8 years on their iPad, which contains all the love memories with their ex, but after 10 years of love, the former lovers still inevitably end up separated;
Some friends were in their second year of high school 10 years ago, and they buried themselves in brushing up on questions every day, dreaming of being admitted to Wuhan University, and in the end, although they failed to do so, they also went to a good school.
In the years when the post-00s were in their youth, the post-90s had not yet experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, and the 35-year-old middle-aged curse had not poisoned the post-80s, everyone was still immersed in the illusion of a quiet time.
The year 2015, when the blogger's mobile phone was locked, was off to a good start.
On December 31, 2014, a serious stampede occurred in a crowd attending the New Year's Eve countdown on the Bund in Shanghai, killing 36 people and injuring 49.
Now, public opinion might blame the sensationalism on social media, calling for people to gather in the same place.
However, 10 years ago, the mobile Internet was in the ascendant, and we could not have predicted how it would strongly intervene in our diet, daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
At that time, an iPhone 4/4S was definitely a fashion item for fashionable people.
It seems that overnight, this mobile phone that appeared in the sky made everyone start to dislike the old antiques in their hands. So much so that after so much time, there are still people who remember its gold content.
Someone even dismantled it and framed it in a glass frame, which shows the lofty status of a small mobile phone in everyone's hearts.
It's not just the "click" after swiping to unlock, but what's even more shocking is that it has completely changed the function of the phone, telling us that the phone is not just a tool for making calls and sending texts.
In other words, it is also its emergence that has made people confined to the small screen for more and more time.
When you see a guy holding his phone horizontally and swiping across the screen, he may be playing Fruit Ninja.
This extremely simple game is all the rage, and of course, it has become one of the most important indicators to distinguish Apple from other smartphones.
Before realizing that life is also a "temple escape", this parkour game that can never find an exit and the monster behind it keeps accelerating, once accompanied everyone through hundreds of boring times.
"Alice Run" on the blogger's mobile phone is also such a horizontal parkour game, and it is also the arrival of the touch screen era that allows us to realize the fun of swiping with our fingertips to participate in the game.
In that era when celebrities were still "talking to people", social software such as Weibo came into being along with smartphones. The era of sharing new things at your fingertips began, and since then it has become a cyber territory that surfers can't live without.
The boom in social media has undoubtedly accelerated the decline of traditional media.
Some people concluded that 2015 was a "thrilling" year for traditional media, and many magazines and newspapers announced the suspension of publication, suspension of publication, and transformation, just hoping not to become cannon fodder run over by the wheels of the times.
It is also the rise of social media that the lives of celebrities continue to unfold in front of ordinary people, which makes everyone feel the deep wall between them and people from another world.
In 2015, Huang Xiaoming and Angelababy's wedding of the century was held at the Shanghai Exhibition Center, which once paralyzed traffic.
It is said that Huang Xiaoming spent 200 million yuan to have this epic entertainment feast.
On the wedding day, he danced the k-pop dance "Fantastic Baby" for his beloved baby, and also released a tearful love confession: "My baby, you're finished, you just wait for the rest of the day, I've never been so good to a woman." ”
But today in 2024, Sect Leader Huang is once again standing on the cusp of public opinion, and when he makes his relationship public, he no longer has the grandeur of the past, only a few words: Don't guess, we are together.
10 years ago, celebrities had a big stage for stars, and we ordinary people also had their own little luck.
In 2015, there were 7.49 million fresh college graduates in the country, and the employment rate was as high as an astonishing 91.7%.
On the other hand, in this year's employment season, some people have written such a depressing title: The sky has changed! The number of graduate students exceeds the number of undergraduates! Graduation and unemployment are at an all-time high.
The ratio of the number of employed people to the number of graduate school students was reversed, and in the end, only one person survived.
2015 was also the year when the "comprehensive two-child" was officially announced.
Now that the three-child policy has been in place for three years, I can't help but ask: Apple has 16 children, have you had three children?
03 Looking ahead, there will be the next 10 years
Regardless of whether the blogger's iphone4s unlock video is true or not, she has set off everyone's nostalgia and sighs for the past.
People lamented that they wanted to go back 10 years, but it seems that only house prices, stock prices, and movie box office have achieved this small goal.
Ten years ago, "traffic" simply referred to the amount of data transmitted by mobile phones online, but nowadays, traffic is no longer a neutral word. It is disdainful for bloggers to fight for traffic, and it is unfair for traffic stars to earn 2.08 million a day, and traffic has become a flood beast, which has long lost its original meaning.
At this time, when I look back, I feel that it was so simple and beautiful in the past.
In the year-end inventory of 2015, "Sanlian Life Weekly" wrote at the beginning:
In 2015, we are in the midst of a grand trend of the times. The integration and disruption of traditional industries and the Internet has reached an unprecedented level. …… Looking back on 2015, we have the question: if the Internet-themed pursuit of wealth is the theme of this era, which is changing the way we live, then are we just passive individuals in this revolution of technology and economic models? Behind the increasingly complex APP on mobile phones, more and more public accounts on WeChat, and longer and longer attention lists on Weibo, in addition to material, are we building a new spiritual world?
So you see, what we were anxious and wary about ten years ago will still exist ten years later.
We are still constantly constructing the spiritual world by the huge number of apps, official accounts, short videos, and live broadcasts on our mobile phones, confused about where the future will develop, and we are wary of whether the changes around us will sink or turn around.
Looking at these changes in a larger temporal dimension, you will feel some comfort. Time passes objectively, and anxiety is subjectively transferred and digested.
In 2015, the domestic animation "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" was released, which greatly boosted the morale of domestic animation fans and was praised by everyone as a watershed work of domestic animation.
Back then, there was such a passage in the promotional poster of the movie: They are willing to hear me die, what about you?
Of course, this is a deafening questioning, this is the great sage's disobedience to heaven, and it is also the cry of domestic animation to the world.
But today, in 2024, at the moment when domestic games like "Black Myth · Wukong" are on the table for dinner, we are more willing to believe that by rejecting the tight hoop and letting go of the resentment in front of us, we may be able to get out of the endless reincarnation.
Success learning is no longer useful, grand narratives are abandoned, and where else can we find a buffer in life, which is nothing more than the three simple words at the end of "The Long Season": look forward.
If you look forward, you will wait for good news.
Looking ahead, there will be the next 10 years.
