371. Why are we so obsessed with games (2)

Old man He slowly stood up, "Where did they go?" ”

"Then I realized that they were drawn to something called a video game. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Old man He still smiled.

"I was very happy for them at first, the hardest thing to find in this life is the thing that can completely attract you. If you are lucky enough to find it, it is really not easy and hard-won, and I bless them from the bottom of my heart. ”

"And then?" Wang Lei couldn't help but ask.

"Later......" Old man He looked at Wang Lei and didn't speak, and said for a while.

"Later, I was very interested in why video games can attract so many young people, and I gradually learned what video games are."

"What kind of thing?" Wang Lei asked curiously.

As a result, Old Man He didn't answer, but looked at Wang Lei first and said, "Do you like video games?" ”

Wang Lei nodded without hesitation, he just played games.

"So what attracted you to video games?" Old man He turned against the guest and then asked Wang Lei.

Why do video games appeal to you?

Wang Lei was stunned, to be honest, he really hadn't thought about this problem.

Is it the details of the game? The game's graphics? The interactivity of the game? To win? Or is it a sense of accomplishment or something?

It seems like there's a little bit of it, but it doesn't seem to be either.

Seeing Wang Lei frowning and pondering, Old Man He didn't interrupt him.

After thinking about it for a while, there was still no specific and reliable conclusion, so Wang Lei shook his head helplessly: "I don't know." ”

Old man He nodded and said, "I used to be as unclear as you, until one day, I understood." ”

"Why?" Wang Lei asked curiously.

"Because we are human!"

Old man He's words are lofty, but Wang Lei was confused, is there a difference between what you said and what you didn't say?

"Because we're human, we have a goal feedback mechanism to survive."

Wang Lei was even more confused, he was not a student of biology.

Besides, what does this goal feedback system have to do with liking the game or not?

"Humans rely on a goal feedback mechanism for survival, where humans make actions, then get feedback, and then improve them." Old man He said expressionlessly, just like a cold biologist.

"Then people will slowly learn: sharp stones are more lethal, and climbing higher will produce more fruits."

"That's how people are, constantly interacting with the environment, and constantly reinventing themselves for the goal of survival and reproduction, which is why we have today, the people who stand proudly on the earth!"

"But do you know what video games do?" Old man He suddenly said.

Wang Lei shook his head, he felt that Old Man He seemed to be full of momentum at this time, making it difficult for him to speak.

"How video games are making young people obsessed with it. Quite simply, it constantly deceives young people's target feedback system! Old man He's words became heavier and heavier.

"The essence of video games is: as long as a person makes an action, whether it's clicking on the keyboard, or a mouse or whatever, they give feedback, whether it's sounds, movements, or other images, for example, if you click the mouse, the video game will always give you feedback, either there is a sound, or it moves, or it disappears, or ......it appears."

"Anyway, I'll give you a result right away! For better or for worse. ”

"It's been conveying the logic that as long as you make an action, there will be a result. As long as you give, it will pay off immediately. ”

"It doesn't matter if the feedback is good or bad, good or evil, it's just giving young people a sense of control! A feeling of mastering the game world in your hands! The more Old Man He spoke, the more excited he became, and his expression became terrifying.

"But the young people who are caught up in it never know how fake this sense of control is when all kinds of instant feedback builds!"

"Because that's the feedback system that video games have been tricking them into and then giving them a sense of control to become addicted to it!"

"Have you ever thought about what will happen when they leave the game world?" Old man He asked.

Wang Lei shook his head again.

"The reality is always cruel, not as long as you pay will be rewarded, not as long as you work hard will have results. Many things even you have worked hard for decades will not have a result, a single feedback. Even the simplest of jobs will be paid for a month or more. ”

Old man He said that he was much calmer, and his tone began to change.

"I've seen a lot of kids like that, kids who came out of the game world."

"They are impetuous, impatient, and never know what persistence is. Because I'm used to making moves in the game world, there will be results right away. It's not that they're born impetuous, it's that video games make them impetuous. ”

"They no longer have the patience to finish a song, read a book, or do something that has been the same for ten years, because they can't stand not having feedback! I can't stand it, I didn't get the result right away. If this continues, in a few generations, what will become of this country and this society! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Lei even saw that Old Man He's eyes were moist, and Wang Lei's heart suddenly trembled.

This old man He is a person who once crawled out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, at that time he must have straightened his waist and didn't cry, but now he ......

"That's the future of the motherland! The future that we are desperately trying to protect! ”

"Now it's going to become!"

Old man He looked at the children playing in the community in the distance in a daze.

Wang Lei didn't know how to comfort him, because he didn't even know how to speak.

"Grandpa He, this may be ....... It's the trend of the times........" Wang Lei said dryly.

Old man He just shook his head vigorously, his eyes staring intently at the children frolicking in the distance, and his eyes were even bloodshot!

"Now let me ask you, do you still like your game?" Old man He said in a hoarse voice, without glancing at Wang Lei.

Wang Lei opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"I'll only ask you once, and I'll talk about it when you've thought about it!" Old man He added seriously, his words were cold and without any emotion.

Wang Lei really didn't know what to say, and the impact on him after listening to Old Man He's words was huge.

Indeed, games are techniques that constantly deceive people's target feedback systems and give people a false sense of control.

In this sense, those who say that games are electronic drugs are not unreasonable.

But Wang Lei also felt that there was something else that the old man had missed, but he didn't think about it.

"I still like it."

Wang Lei finally gave the answer.

It's just that he himself doesn't know where this answer comes from, whether it's right or wrong.

"Okay."

Old man He only said one word, but Wang Lei heard the disappointment.

Then he turned around and strode away, with a straight waist, his hard steps did not look like an old man who was over the age of sixties, and there was only a pair of endgames left in front of Wang Lei. (To be continued.) )
