1151、But Mengmeng still understands
"Especially now that the various applications and services on smartphones are so convenient. A few years ago, I was only able to buy some specific goods online, but recently I can not only buy anything, but also what I want to eat, what drinks I want to drink, as well as snacks and afternoon tea snacks, which can be delivered to people's doorsteps in the fastest time at any time. ”
Don't look at the students in the school, Levi is already an 'old' person. But when it comes to experiencing the convenience of the modern information society and smartphones, it can be said that the students in the school are far less real than Levy.
After all, even the students in the school are studying alone and do not live with their families. In middle school, most of them either lived in on-campus dormitories like Yohei Haruhara, or they lived in apartments that were exclusively rented for students despite being off-campus, as the Fujibayashi sisters did.
Stay in these places because of security concerns and some restrictions on management. Even if students don't have their parents around, there will still be all kinds of inconveniences, and there is no freedom as adults who are alone and single.
What's more, in addition to their own wishes, the wishes of their own wallets are also an important restriction for students.
With so many convenient and enjoyable services, whether your environment allows you to enjoy it is one thing, and whether you have enough money in your wallet to pay for the expenses after enjoying it is another.
In particular, students are not like adults who can go to the bank to apply for credit cards, and they can have a variety of short-term small loan methods. Except for a few who are willing to go out to work and earn money on their own, most of them are limited to what they can do by the living expenses sent by their families every month. There simply isn't much to think about dominating yourself.
Although as long as you are a student, you will not starve to death on School Island.。 Even if you spend all your money at the beginning of each month, as long as you are thick-skinned enough, you will always have a way to get through the time you have been born. However, once in a while, one or two accidents are enough, and the school and the central district management have reacted to the family, and at that time, will parents allow their children who would have died in the dormitory if they were not taken care of by the school and the government, and continue to stay in the school in the central district is not a matter of much consideration.
And Levi is an adult who has an income and extra money in addition to his normal job. First of all, you don't need to worry too much about spending. In addition, there are just a few people in his family who love to stay at home all day, and they don't go out much at all, and they rely on people who deliver everything to the door.
In the past, if she needed anything at home, she had to make a phone call and open her mouth to speak, but now she even saves the opening of her mouth, and she can wait for someone to deliver what she wants to the door with a few clicks directly on the mobile phone screen. And it's not the simple fast food takeaway of the past. Now all kinds of door-to-door services have evolved to the point that even some complex meals can be provided to the door, and the staff of the other party will bring semi-finished products to help you process them, and even the direct chef will come to cook for you on the spot.
As long as you are willing to spend money, in the conditions of modern society, you can really experience almost anything at home. This is really a happy and beautiful era for the kind of otaku girls like Evangeline and Penglai Mountain Huiye. I'm afraid that now that I've suddenly found a way to return to Gensokyo, Kaguya may think that I didn't see it and didn't know it, and I didn't even think about going back.
So, what the teacher meant was that a lot of people actually like to stay at home in the first place. But in the past, because the living environment was not so convenient, there were many things that forced them to go out, so many people became what they looked. And when there are more and more convenient and fast services now, they will be able to return to their original appearance?"
Mengmeng didn't come to Earth for long, although because she often watched TV with other people in the family, she had seen more or less what the Earth was like in the past from TV shows. For example, in the era when there were no mobile phones and could only use landlines, Mengmeng was very surprised to see it at first.
Unlike children of this age on the earth, even if they have not experienced that era in their memory, because their parents came from that period, they have listened and watched a lot since they were young, and naturally they don't feel that it is a distant thing.
And Deby-Lune, who lives in dreams, is a planet that is far more technologically advanced than the earth, and I don't know how many years it should be. For people on planets like Debil Luke, who have turned interstellar travel to the point of casual travel, the era of not having a communication terminal to carry with them is a bit too old. For them, it may be as far away as the earthlings who have just gotten rid of the stage of drinking blood and barely stepped into civilized society. And if you don't specialize in in-depth study of history, or if you have a hobby in this area, how many of you can casually say that human beings were still in the lower stage of civilization thousands of years ago, even those who have received higher education?
In fact, even in the eyes of Princess Mengmeng from Debylu's nemesis, it is probably like the plot in the popular time-traveling drama, where an earthling accidentally travels back to the ancient feudal society when there were no electric lights and no cars, and transportation relied on horses to communicate and run.
Not only dreams, but in fact, for Lévy and Eve, who have traveled between the stars, the current earth is indeed quite backward and gives them a 'sense of the times'. And they are different from Mengmeng, that is, these two people have been to more places because of their past work, and they have long been accustomed to going back and forth between planetary civilizations with different stages of technology. Whether it's advanced, backward, or something else peculiar, Levi and Eve have been to a lot. It's like a person who has the ability to travel through time and space, and it is not strange for him to frequently travel to various historical periods. In contrast, Mengmeng, who has never shown even the slightest strange appearance since she came to Earth, is really admirable for her natural temperament and the changes she has cultivated in the royal environment since she was a child.
How many teenage girls in this world can suddenly travel back thousands of years ago to ancient times, and instantly integrate into the society of that time without any flaws? A girl like Eve transferred to the second middle school, and many classmates still noticed the strangeness in her.
