Chapter 490: Reality and Games

The dishes were served, the red wine was sobered up, and Jia Miao's housekeeper came to the large living room to tell everyone present that dinner was ready. So, Jia Youwei and the others moved to the dining room to take a seat.

The dishes on the table are not island cuisine, but Chinese cuisine. People can see such food in a foreign country, and there is more or less a sense of intimacy in their hearts.

"In feudal society, it is always like to say that the knowledge on books is in the hands of the high-ranking families, and the common people cannot obtain the knowledge, so they are fooled and enslaved.

And today, in my opinion, it still is. I like more and more the words of Mr. Wang Meng, the new media has spawned idiots who think they are smart.

Many of the ruling class think they are well-informed, just like taxi drivers, but they don't know that it won't be long before they will be replaced by unmanned vehicles and lose their jobs.

At the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the buses used by the island nation to transport athletes and others were all driverless. This is also a good indication that unmanned driving has entered the stage of commercial operation.

In fact, the island nation has already started a small area of unmanned commercial operations in its own scenic areas. In a year, twenty years, buses, taxis, etc. will no longer be driven.

It's exactly the same as when the conductor was laid off. Jia Youwei was peeling shrimp for his daughter while opening the topic on the dinner table.

"There must be a reason why the ruled class is called the ruled class. In those days, there was not a university of workers, peasants and soldiers to train these people, so that they could make some changes.

The result is that the original intention was good, but it backfired. There is no cultivation value for a group of people who doze off with a book and can't sit steadily. They have taken up leadership positions, and they are also laymen who command insiders and blind commands.

These people are destined to only engage in simple, single, repetitive work that does not use their brains much. In the past, people still have some responsibilities, at least some self-knowledge, and keep to themselves.

On the whole, they should be more dedicated, responsible, hard-working, and more or less dedicated and dedicated.

People now, look at it, how far is the ignorance and arrogance?" Jia Lingling held the red wine glass in her right hand and slowly rotated clockwise.

"Listening to you say this reminds me that the main force of the first nationwide wave of layoffs was ordinary industrial workers, and if there is a second wave of nationwide layoffs, it will happen to ordinary low-level white-collar workers.

For example, many window jobs, such as bank tellers, are the most easily replaced by artificial intelligence. Although these people have gone to college, they do not have outstanding skills.

When you lose your job, it becomes especially difficult to get back into the workforce. Saying that they don't know anything is not wronged. If you want to live well and live well, you can only keep up with the pace of scientific and technological development of the times. Tang said with a slight feeling.

"Artificial intelligence technology makes some of the prescient ruling class very worried, thinking about how they will transform in the future, and unconsciously there are still people who have dreams, after the development of science and technology to a certain stage, people no longer have to work, every day is to eat, drink and have fun, play mahjong every day, fight the landlord every day......

People like the latter are not as useful and valuable as raising pigs, dogs, and even flowers and plants. Jia Lingling took a sip of red wine and said.

"You're all talking too scary. Although the movie "Ready Player One" has such a foreshadowing, it is not absolute. After all, the people who are addicted to it and can't extricate themselves, and even do extreme behaviors, are extremely few people.

Even a religion that persuades people to do good deeds can lead some people astray. As a hardcore, veteran video gamer, I still have to say a few words of justice.

People who play video games, especially online games, are not necessarily escapists. Of course, I don't deny that there are many people who are escaping from reality, trying to get from the virtual world that they can't get respect, status, and identity in reality......

However, they are often disappointed. In China's online games, only by charging money can you become stronger, and you can play people in the game. Otherwise, you'll only be treated like a dog and be played with and abused.

Online games in China do not have as much freedom as some online games in Europe and the United States. For example, EVE. Chinese players give me the feeling that they prefer the established mode to do tasks, play dungeons, attack and defense, PK......

They don't know what to do, or they give up when they get started.

Chinese players have a heart that wants to fight against a hundred, but they scold this game mode, after all, it is a civilian player who can't play a local tyrant player.

Didn't there be a famous quote about a local tyrant in "Legend"? Don't compare your annual salary with my pocket money. Jia Youbin said eloquently.

He paused at this point, and his interest grew, and he continued: "The virtual world is also a kind of real world, and people are sitting behind the computer screen. It seems to me more like a gilded cage.

In other words, to make the ruled class jump from one fire pit to another. Video games have dreams that people can't realize in reality, such as being in the fantasy world, the World of Warcraft, the world of martial arts, the world of Xianxia, etc., to play different roles and experience different experiences.

can be male or female, and there can be more selectivity in terms of identity. This is a feature that cannot be replaced in the real world. If you kill someone in reality, you will inevitably pay a corresponding price.

In the game, you can kill all sides, it doesn't matter. In particular, "Grand Theft Auto" has a high degree of freedom, and it can kill passers-by or something, release the evil in your heart, but can reduce negative depression in real society.

The entertainment consumption of ordinary people in China is not high. A moderate krypton game can not only take a break, change your head, but also not spend too much money like talking about a girlfriend.

A cup of coffee at Starbucks costs about 30 yuan, and two people have to pay about 60 yuan. If you order other things, hundreds of dollars are easy.

They are young people who have just started working, and how much money can they have in their pockets, unless they are financially supported by their families.

Therefore, playing online games is the most cost-effective way of leisure and entertainment, and a month's point card money is nothing more than about 60 yuan. At most, that's one, two hundred.

In Europe and the United States, when converted into RMB, it is nothing more than one or two hundred yuan. It takes hundreds to watch a movie in a first-tier city. If it's 3D, or MAX, it's going to be hundreds. ”
