20 years ago, everyone had no mobile phones. How did a person live in renting a house 20 years ago?

Don’t say 20 years ago, let’s say 2010 before the development of smartphones.

I spent some time abroad at that time, and what accompanied me was an MP3 player and a Sony Ericsson W380.

Although the mobile phones at that time were not smart phones, they could play Landlords, Snake, install QQ, and send text messages.

There was a TV to watch in the rented place. At that time, even watching Demi-Gods and Legend of the Condor Heroes was very exciting, right?

After reading, you can open the MP3 and listen to your favorite music, right?

No, we still have laptops and desktops. We can play games, right? Even if we count it 20 years ago, the three Chinese RPG swords - Fairy Sword, Xuanyuan Sword, and Swordsman Love have all been launched. Can you play Monopoly 4 all night long without feeling sleepy?

How could it be boring?

People 40 years ago could hardly watch TV but still lived their lives. People 60 years ago even had radios as luxury goods but they still lived well. Different eras have different living standards. Things in the future will not affect their lives at this stage, so we cannot talk about what would have happened without mobile phones 20 years ago. After all, although mobile phones existed 20 years ago, they were not truly integrated into the lives of the public.

Although there were no mobile phones 20 years ago, landline phones have become an essential appliance for many families. Of course, some people may ask, after all, landline phones can only be placed at home. What should I do if my family goes out? The answer is that it is easy to handle, because at that time there was a thing called a BB machine. Whoever you wanted to call could directly send a signal on the paging station. After the person received the signal, he could just go to a public telephone hall and call back. Of course, because Depending on the living conditions, many families may not even have landline phones or BB phones. So were their lives affected 20 years ago?

The answer is actually still no. As mentioned earlier, different eras have different lifestyles. In the era without telephones and pagers, people also had their own fixed lifestyles. This kind of life will not be affected by telephone calls. Influenced.

For example, many families do not have fixed telephones, but there are always public telephones in nearby shops, and even workplace telephones! If you want to get in touch, you can dial these public phones and ask the person next to the phone to call the person you want to find. For example, when my aunt went to college in the late 1980s, there was no phone in the dormitory, so when family members called, they could call directly. The phone goes to the mailroom in the dormitory, and the mailroom transmits the message to the old aunt in the dormitory through the loudspeaker. When she hears the call from the public loudspeaker, the old aunt can happily go downstairs and talk on the phone with her family. From the current point of view, It was troublesome to run upstairs and downstairs, but it was not troublesome at all at that time. After all, people of that era had adapted to this kind of life.

Of course, with the current development, mobile phones have become not only a communication tool, but also an entertainment tool. You can play games and watch videos online through mobile phones. 20 years ago, mobile phones were not so developed or even available. What do people do for entertainment when using mobile phones? Again, people 20 years ago had the same entertainment methods they had 20 years ago. If they couldn’t watch videos, they could watch TV. If they felt the programs were too fixed, they could go to an outside audio store to rent video tapes and CDs. If they couldn’t listen to songs, they could listen to the radio. If you can't play games, you can go to Internet cafes and game arcades outside. In fact, the entertainment we play now also existed 20 years ago, but it is not miniaturized, but it does not mean that we did not have entertainment in any era.

However, what is meaningful is that because the entertainment of that era was not as convenient as it is now, the entertainment of that time will still be fresh in many people’s memories. For example, in the 1980s and 1990s, most families did not have VCRs. If I could borrow a video recorder to play some Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, it would be like celebrating the New Year at home. When I was a kid, I didn’t have that much pocket money. When I went to the arcade to play, I wanted to break a game coin in half and spend it until all the money was spent. Game currency, I still can’t help but stay next to other people’s game consoles and watch. Nowadays, there are more and more entertainment activities, but the feeling of nostalgia has become less profound.

Twenty years ago, a tape could be listened to all night, but now it has really deteriorated! I have always believed that good songs are because they can remind you of a person, a thing, an object, or a relationship! At the age of 36, I listen to music less and less. Maybe listening to music can recall some people or things. On the contrary, I don’t want to recall it, so...

There were no Internet cafes or smartphones at that time. Personally Computers are a rarity. To spend time alone, besides watching TV, listening to the radio, or going to a bookstore to rent books to read, you can’t stay up until dawn if you don’t rent books to read during the night shift, including a copy of the Yangtze Evening News and a novel. I also read a lot of idle books at that time, Wolf Totem, The Last Bullet Is Left for Me, that guy is so handsome.

Dance hall, reading magazines and books, watching Rab movies, watching black and white TV, roller skating, exercising in the park, playing cards, etc. There are so many games for children to play, there are more than a dozen of them. At that time, many games were divided into men and women. Boys played throwing, shooting and fighting, cockfighting, girls skipped rope, and choreographed their own dances. Men and women could play together! (A game that simulates cooking in the wild) Throw the handkerchief, the eagle catches the chicken, I can’t finish it.

If people 20 years ago knew that mobile phones are so slippery now, they would not be envious to death! ... The key to whether having more types of entertainment is good or bad lies in the main body of entertainment - how people choose and act

Don't say 20 years ago, 10 years ago, I didn't have a smartphone and could only listen to the radio. I met my wife by accident.

You should ask a hundred years ago, when people got married early and had many children at home, so you would know what they did at night.

Rent a second-hand single room, a second-hand portable CD, a second-hand 17-inch color TV, and a second-hand VCD player. With twenty yuan in your pocket, you can spend a Sunday very nourishingly
