I was waiting in the restaurant. A woman was waiting next to me. She kept calling her husband to give directions. At first, she was patient and became more and more manic. Finally, she burst out: I asked you to learn to use GPS. You don't need it, but you can't accept new things! What time is it? I live like a savage! The last sentence amused me. At the same time, I secretly rejoice: Fortunately, I am not a savage. But not for a few days. Last week I went to the gym. The yoga instructor asked me why I hadn't come for a long time. I said I was busy. In fact, this is not the real reason. The truth is that our home is about two kilometers away from the fitness center. It's too long to walk and too short to take a taxi. I take great pains to find a way to get there every time. In order not to worry, I simply don't go. This reason is too hard for me to say. I just told the coach after class that I was going to buy a bike. It was convenient to come and go. She said you could ride a little red car. Red car? It's sharing bicycles. There are lots of them all over the street. You can ride them by scanning yards. It's 50 cents a time. I tried it the next day, and it was really convenient. And after paying attention to it, I found that it was all over the street. It turns out that although I am not a savage, I am not a new youth in the new era. one I'm actually an old-fashioned man. To put it bluntly, he is lazy. He is too lazy to bother to study new things, so he accepts incompetence. But now more and more people feel that some new things are really good, which can really save us time, reduce trouble and improve the quality of life. So, even if I was slow, I forced myself to keep up with the pace of the times. Before I went out, I had to bring my wallet, mobile phone and key. Now we have a password lock at home, and we pay by mobile phone for everything we buy. Therefore, as long as we go out with our mobile phone, everything is OK. I used to have a pile of fast-food restaurant cards in my drawer. Now they are all useless. If you want to order meals, just use takeout software. In the past, if you wanted to listen to Yale and Harvard courses, you had to turn the world around. Now there are countless public courses on the Internet. You can watch them at any time for free. In the past, when I went out to take a taxi, I often couldn't get a taxi for half an hour. Now I can directly ask for a taxi online. He will wait downstairs more punctually than the male ticket. Innumerable new things are appearing in our lives as quickly as possible. Technology has changed our lives beyond imagination. Now is different from before, last year is different from this year, and even yesterday is different from today. two There was a very dark and humorous news the other day. A lecher with primary school culture broke into the home of a single beautiful woman and plotted against the law. Coincidentally, the beautiful woman was chatting with her friend on video. The friend heard the beautiful woman crying for help in the video and shouted at her, but the lecher didn't know what the video chat was and continued to commit violence. Seeing that the reprimand was invalid, my friend called the police and rushed over. The lecher hasn't succeeded yet. The police have arrived and caught her. ——No culture is terrible. Of course, we learn new things, not to do bad things more safely. Using them to do serious things is real. The original novel of the fantasy drift of the youth school was once called "the most unimaginable story". Because it is about a boy and a tiger drifting on the sea in a boat for 227 days. "Don't touch animals and water" is the motto of Hollywood. Besides, the animal is still a tiger and has to stay in the same boat with a teenager for a long time. However, by means of science and technology, Ang Lee has created a digital tiger that confuses the real with the fake, and presented a beautiful and shocking landscape. It can be said that new technology gave birth to this zero negative review film. Li Ka Shing often says that although he is nearly 90 years old, his understanding of new technologies is not inferior to that of young people. He used to like the paper version of news. After the iPad came out, he only read the electronic version. His subordinates said, "if Mr. Li was a stagnant man, he would not have achieved what he is today." Some people say that the richer the people are, the more they like to try new things, and the poorer the people are, the more they miss the old things. This is not without reason. three In fact, people who fall behind don't fall off at once. It's just that you insist on listening to the radio when others watch TV, writing letters when others use e-mail, making phone calls when others use social software, and standing in line at the railway station when others buy train tickets online At last, quantitative change turns into qualitative change, and you are out of date. "I'm fine now. Don't tell me about this or that. I'm too lazy to learn." This may be the mentality of many people when they reject new things. According to the theory of psychology, people have path dependence: once they make a certain choice, they will habitually go on this road and will not turn back easily. This psychology limits people's ability to accept new things and makes people conservative, stubborn and narrow-minded. In fact, those dignitaries who once laughed at the steam engine gave up their carriages. Those experts and professors who once regarded the Internet as a scourge are now inseparable from it. Those who refuse to learn to use computers can't even do the work of front desk cashier. The development of the world does not depend on anyone's will, so the attitude of resistance is often not only useless, but also puts oneself in trouble. Now that change has taken place, the best way is to adapt to it early and make good use of it. We may not think so now, but the people who will be eliminated by the society in ten years may be those who can't use smart phones, dare not bind credit cards on wechat, don't know how to learn courses online, and don't understand new technologies in the industry. If you reject the world again and again, the world may abandon you in the end. four New things may not be all good, and we don't have to catch up with everything (in fact, no one can do it), but in this rapidly changing world, we must have an open mind and maintain enough curiosity and acceptance of new things. There is a very vulgar word, but it is always correct, that is: keep pace with the times. No matter what the concept, life style or professional ability, we should really follow the times, keep learning and understanding, and constantly update ourselves. Otherwise, you may unconsciously become a savage of the new era, and you are afraid to think carefully. Therefore, if we want not to be abandoned by the world, we must have the ability to accept new things. Many times, it determines the quality of your life, and even the height of your life.
