The influence of short messages on our lives

In ancient times, people lived in a world with underdeveloped technology. Communication between people is very difficult. Flying pigeons pass books and drift bottles, and people ride fast horses in front of one post after another. These are all important means of communication in a certain social period. On the surface, they seem to be fast, but in fact, they are not efficient. It takes only a few days for a flying pigeon to deliver a book, and the content of the delivery is extremely limited. Although the number of post horses was used, an urgent letter was sent to Daoguang Emperor from Guangzhou during the Sino-British War. That was more than a month later. Guangzhou has long been occupied by the British army, and the information transmission is so slow that the war ahead is urgent and reinforcements are urgently needed, but the rear is unaware of it. It still lives in the dream of national prosperity and people's safety, while the relatively fast "Kongming Lantern" can only transmit information in a short distance. At that time, it was far away and close at hand. Later, new communication tools such as telegraph, telephone and television came out one after another, and the information transmission between people also made a great leap, which narrowed the distance between people. People are gradually covered by the invisible network woven by radio waves, and they are increasingly inseparable from it. People have entered the "radio wave era". 1946, in the laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania, a giant weighing several tons-the world's first computer was born. Although its function and operation speed are far less than that of an ordinary computer now, its appearance is of epoch-making significance. Since then, mankind has entered the "computer age", and the appearance of computers has fundamentally changed people's way of life and changed the world. Now, the era we live in is vividly called the "network era", and the network has been closely related to each of us. We send emails through the internet every day, chat with people we like, express our opinions online, and also consult the information we need, understand the daily world dynamics, enjoy our favorite music, watch our favorite animations, movies and so on. In short, in the virtual world of the Internet, you will have a sky of your own, and you will feel a completely different lifestyle from reality. The Internet has brought us a lot of convenience, added a lot of excitement and improved people's efficiency. What used to take a few days to complete can now be completed in an instant with just a few keystrokes and mouse clicks. Today, when time is like life, all the meanings are no longer possible.
