.6.1

With the popularization of smart phones, WeChat has become an indispensable content and way in people's daily life. Whether it's a ride, a trip, a shop, or staying with friends and family, you can see people playing WeChat. WeChat has a really big role, it can send voice text messages, videos, pictures and texts, as well as group chats, karaoke, red envelopes and transfer payments. It is said that there are currently 100 million people. If you haven't used WeChat yet, then you will be seen as old-fashioned by others and feel marginalized by this society.

Not long ago, I received a call from my sister, asking me why I hadn't added WeChat yet, and said that she now uses WeChat video to call her mother and family, not only with voice, but also with video with each other, and it doesn't cost money. Listening to her words, I was somewhat surprised, because she used to use her mobile phone only to make and receive calls, and she was not even able to send text messages, and she also used an old-fashioned 2G mobile phone. At the same time, it also made me a little tempted, because the cost of long-distance phone calls is very high, and the use of WeChat not only does not have to pay phone bills, but also can video each other.

However, I still didn't install WeChat. Because I know that once you install WeChat, you will have to add your own "Zhangjia Compound" group, as well as your wife's "Ma Family Compound" group, as well as classmates, educated youth groups, friends groups, Weiyang table tennis groups, elderly table tennis groups, community table tennis groups and northern suburbs table tennis groups. In short, there are at least twenty or thirty groups. If there are two or three groups of people who are active every day and send you messages, or if four or five people talk to you, how much time does it take up and how much energy does it take you? Moreover, some groups and some people are very active, and they have to post information and messages every day, and some people will send you songs, messages, jokes and videos that they have downloaded from nowhere to the group, and there are even people who have posted how many steps they have taken in a day and how much weight they have lost in the group, as if this is their job and fun. Because I'm signing a contract with a website to write, I have to post and write works every day, and I don't have time to read those things, let alone let those contents be distracted. That's what I've always refused to install> in early May, I went back to my hometown to attend a reunion with my classmates. There are more than 30 people from elementary school to middle school, and even classmates from when they went to the countryside together, most of whom have not seen each other for more than 40 years. The students were very cordial to each other, and everyone asked me for a WeChat account so that I could contact them often. However, among all the classmates, I was the only one who did not have WeChat. When my classmates heard that I didn't have WeChat yet, they were all very surprised, as if I had just returned from a primitive tribe in Africa. So, the classmates were enthusiastic to ask me to install WeChat, I told them the reason why I couldn't install WeChat, but they said that if you add WeChat, you can watch some content if you want to see it, and don't watch it if you don't want to see it.

Many people have said this to me, but which one of them spends a lot of time paying attention to the information and content sent by various groups every day? Sometimes they can't help but participate in it, post some comments, give some likes, and yell a few times. I am almost the only one in the community who doesn't have WeChat, so I am also informed by the friends of any information and notices in those table tennis groups. There is a football friend who brags about himself, and he always likes to belittle others and boast about himself. On one occasion he spoke in another group and belittled everyone in our community to show that he was very good at the game. However, not only did others say that he was bragging, but they also forwarded all those comments to us. So, everyone posted these comments to other groups and denounced and refuted him. In the end, the man never dared to meet everyone again.

Originally, I was busy and didn't care much about this kind of thing, but once he put the video footage of me participating in a competition in Xi'an and being eliminated in the Weiyang table tennis group, and inserted some commentary. Many people called me to inquire, and the golfer also played the video to me, so angry that I immediately reprimanded the man. In fact, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, I don't want to be the object of so many people's attention. There are also groups of classmates and friends who sometimes send out some group photos of men and women together. These group photos were actually taken by everyone playing around, but when the husband and wife of the family saw it, the feeling was completely different. Therefore, it is impossible to say that you only join WeChat and do not want to get involved in it, or do not want to get involved too deeply. If you pay attention, you will find that conflicts and disputes among group members are not uncommon. And there are also some people who sell products in the group and ask you to buy one too, and if you don't buy it, you will feel embarrassed, and if you buy it, you will feel useless.

In addition to some rights and wrongs and contradictions that have occurred in the group of friends, it will attract attention, and the photos sent by others will also make you can't help but look at them. People only want to see the photos they want to see, but sometimes some of them are sent in and you spend half a day looking at them. There is a female golfer who went to France, England, Italy and Spain for ten days, and sent dozens of photos to everyone every day. Every day when I played, the other golfers showed me these pictures. In fact, just look at a few of these photos, and if you look at too much, you will feel so boring. However, there are still people who like to take photos of what banquets they attended and what drinks and dishes they ate one by one, and post them back and forth in the group, which makes people feel bored. We have not seen each other for more than 40 years at this class reunion, so everyone wants to record and save this unforgettable moment, so we keep you taking pictures of me and I will take pictures of you when we are together. After taking the photo, I sent it to the group so that those who could not attend the party could see it. However, because the photos were sent too much and too indiscriminately, those students who did not come to the party complained: Don't send the photos repeatedly, the photos are too good, and the light is too busy to receive them.

It doesn't cost much to send photos on WeChat, so it's easy to flood. WeChat video calls don't cost much, so there are a lot of calls, and some calls that should not be made are half a day to chat. Because it is a relative, friend or family member, sometimes it is still a long-distance call, listening to the other party's words for a long time, saying one thing a few times, it makes people anxious, but it is not good to hang up, and I feel so helpless. Therefore, I am determined not to add it> but without WeChat, there are many inconveniences. You can't enjoy the benefits of WeChat calling, which is both free and video, nor can you enjoy the convenience of using WeChat to transfer payments. For example, when I go back to my hometown, I have to buy a high-speed rail ticket, and I have to book it in advance. Because I don't have WeChat, and I don't want to go to Xi'an North Railway Station to buy it, I can only ask my son to help buy it, or let others help me buy it. In addition, we often have to change the rubber and buy the bottom plate when we play, and it is much cheaper and more convenient to buy online than to buy it in the store. However, because there is no WeChat, every time I change the rubber and buy the bottom board, or even buy balls and glue, I have to take a car from the northern suburbs to the southern suburbs to buy, which is very inconvenient. My wife didn't know how to WeChat, but recently, the unit has implemented the use of face brushing to receive wages, so she has to install WeChat. There is also an acquaintance, because she is engaged in cleaning work, many units pay wages using WeChat transfer payment, and she still uses a 3G mobile phone, so she can only use other people's mobile phone WeChat every time she pays her salary. After a long time, she felt embarrassed herself, so she had to change to a 4G mobile phone and install WeChat. For this class reunion, you need to send some photos of the past and present to the group leader, and make videos and albums. However, because there was no WeChat, I had to ask others to help send the photos.

It can be said that we have entered the era of WeChat, which provides a lot of convenience for our lives today, and also makes many changes in our lives. For example, my sister used to call home only once a month or even two months because of the cost of long-distance calls, but now she calls twice every three days, and one dozen is most of the day. In addition, the female teachers in our school usually have little time to go out shopping because they are busy, but now with WeChat, they don't need to go out to shop, but directly use WeChat to shop online. Some female teachers have express mail delivered almost every day, and they have to spend one or two thousand yuan a month just to shop online. It feels like it's not your own money spent.

WeChat is not only a means of communication and payment, but also an entertainment and a toy. Everyone sang together, chatted together, and posted their happiness and favorite content on the Internet to share with others. So, wherever you go, you can see people busy playing WeChat. It's almost become a social ethos. Some people can barely live without their phone, and they don't know what to do when they leave it. However, if a person spends too much time on WeChat, he will not have much time to do serious things, more about reading books and studying, and more about observing and thinking. In fact, now people don't read much to learn and observe and think, and they can't read it just on WeChat. The implementation of WeChat transfer payment, although it is convenient for shopping, is also easy to develop the habit of spending money like water.

The popularity of WeChat is a great progress in social life, but if people spend too much time on WeChat, which affects personal learning progress, family life and husband and wife relationships, and even suffers from Internet syndrome and WeChat dependence, it is really worth the loss.
