Quit cell phones become a business?

2022-03-14

In order to "quit" mobile phones, senior Wang Xiaohui bought a "mobile phone isolation box" on the e-commerce platform last August. It takes four steps to stay away from the mobile phone: open the "mobile phone isolation box", put in the mobile phone, close the isolation box, and set the locking time. The phone can't be taken out until the time is over and the beep sounds. On the box, there are several eye-catching stickers: "go all out", "go study" and "the harder you work, the luckier you are", which are presented by Wang Xiaohui when shopping online. It cost more than 100 yuan to buy this cell phone isolation box, which was enough for her to eat in the canteen for several days. That summer, Wang Xiaohui was very busy: internship, preparing autumn moves, practicing English... It was clearly the time when she needed to do things well, but Wang Xiaohui was embarrassed to find that the "screen usage time" in her apple phone was never less than 15 hours. And time spent mostly on the brush, the heat search, the bean and tiktok. Wang Xiaohui is not alone. According to the China security perception report (2021) released by the Internet Development Research Center of Peking University and 360 group, 50% of Internet users want to escape the Internet and mobile phones. Douban Li's "away from the screen group", founded in 2020, has attracted more than 30000 members, including Wang Xiaohui. Netizens here share their "struggle" experience with mobile phones: two-month plan to use less mobile phones, clock in for 21 days to record screen use time, and resolutely not being a slave fighting of mobile phones... Young people have done everything they can to quit mobile phones. When there is demand, there is a market. Some seemingly funny and even absurd "businesses" came into being under the stimulation of the demand of young people to "temporarily stay away from mobile phones". However, can these tricks really keep themselves away from mobile phones as Wang Xiaohui hopes? A At first, Wang Xiaohui tried other methods. She once joined a wechat group. In short, people of insight who quit mobile phones share their screen usage time in the group every day. The rule is that if the time exceeds 5 hours, send a 10 yuan red envelope in the group. "It's useful at the beginning, but there are only a few people in the first group. Often everyone doesn't send it, and the day passes. Secondly, sometimes you can't stop playing with your mobile phone, and even feel that you'll pay 10 yuan anyway. You'll be a good man tomorrow and tomorrow." It's like the famous joke about quitting smoking: quitting smoking is easy! I quit every year. Until she found the isolation box of the mobile phone, Wang Xiaohui felt that she had found the Savior. It's like finding yourself a teaching director or carrying it with you. There's no way to be good or not. Searching Taobao for the keyword "quit mobile phone", you can already see a series of "mobile phone isolation box" products, with a unit price of about 100 yuan. Liu Yang, the boss of one of the mobile phone isolation boxes, said that when he paid attention to this thing in 2020, there were not many such products on Taobao. At most, there was a real box with a lock, which was very rough and couldn't be taken out. Now, the competition is obviously fierce. Smart timing is standard. There is a small window that allows users to answer the phone while giving up their mobile phones. Taobao stores have never lost their ability to develop various "artifact". Li Yiyi, who bought another mobile phone isolation box, said she had the idea of buying a mobile phone isolation box for a long time, but "the appearance of previous generations was too ugly". She didn't order until the appearance was updated to her satisfaction. Of course, "God" is not always satisfied, especially the young one. In the post recommending the isolation box of mobile phone, someone recalled the good time when he was a child: he couldn't do his homework when he did his homework. He couldn't do it even if he looked at the tree outside the window for an afternoon. Others seem to underestimate the inseparability between themselves and mobile phones when placing orders. Looking at the isolation box of mobile phones and thinking about the baby mobile phones locked in the isolation box, they can't help thinking that the plastic box is still a good breakthrough "in theory", and it must not be difficult to pry and smash it open. There are even people who "smash the field" directly in the comment area of Taobao. In the buyer's comment area of a transparent mobile phone isolation box, great wisdom was startled: the left thumb and the right thumb were extended from the two small windows above and below the box, fighting passionately in the canyon of the glory of the king. Also left a strange praise: not only buy cheap, but also play games. The good author took this screenshot and asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said that in order to achieve the effect in the picture, you have to open the "glory of the king" and keep the screen bright before putting the mobile phone in: "I believe you shouldn't open the software yourself and lock it in. It's unnecessary." The shopkeeper's words make people ask themselves. After all, buying a mobile phone isolation box itself is not confident in self-control. It's really uncertain what "unnecessary" things can be done. B The good news is that even if consumers make difficulties, they can't stop the great law of physical isolation from being carried forward. Even foreigners can't resist the charm of Taobao artifact. On twitter, a girl holding a mobile phone isolation box smiled contentedly: "daga, I'm Lili. I spent $40 on this mobile phone isolation box. I have a monkey brain without self-control, and this box keeps me away from my mobile phone." According to the shopping links shared, it can be seen that this is a product from China. From the appearance, 80% of the isolation boxes held by the king and humiliated on the other side of the ocean come from the same manufacturer. Giving up mobile phones is not the only worry of Chinese young people. Moreover, the physical isolation method is good, not only limited to the mobile phone isolation box, but also the ever-changing "Internet free mobile phone". In 2019, Blackberry was once discussed as a "no Internet mobile phone". In the past, blackberry had unlimited scenery, but after the system failed to keep up with the trend, it became the first choice for young people who want to quit their mobile phones. Using a mobile phone that is not so easy to use is another wonderful idea of young people. Wu Linyi, 29, used this method as early as the end of 2015 when she was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. At that time, she set a strict self-study time for herself, but she always played mobile phones in the self-study room. She wanted to buy a non smart phone as the main force, but she accidentally saw someone quit the Internet with an old BlackBerry. Finally, she started an "old BlackBerry" on Taobao. The model is BlackBerry 9000, which originated in 2008 and costs less than 500 yuan. This is a full keyboard mobile phone with retro appearance, but the screen performance is good and the sound quality is very good. Under the guidance of customer service, wechat, Netease cloud music and other software can be installed. In this way, Wu Linyi can neither miss wechat news, but can not use it heavily: "it's still pretty card to use, especially when some software is installed. The adaptation of blackberry is not very good." To put it bluntly, the essence of this method is "you can't find happiness for yourself". In fact, up to now, the old BlackBerry full keyboard phone is still active on the e-commerce platform, and nine times out of ten the product name will be marked with the word "Internet mobile phone". In addition, there are other options for this method, and in addition to using "antique mobile phones", there are many new products to choose from. For example, Xiaomi's "multi parent" series mobile phones are equipped with Android system, but they are either keyboard mobile phones or small screen mobile phones, which are used by many young people as "special machines for preparing for exams". Also equipped with Android system, there are mobile phones with ink screen. Yes, it is the kind of screen commonly seen in e-books. Wechat, QQ and Taobao are installed casually, but the display effect is addictive, and the possibility of mobile phones is greatly reduced. These post-80s and post-90s look at tears, and post-00s call fresh mobile phones, glowing with different charm under the filter of young people. C A somewhat disappointing fact is that young people's desire to "quit mobile phones" may still be strong, or even stronger, but it is becoming more and more difficult. At first, the mobile phone was a fresh toy; Then, the mobile phone has become a tool for making calls and sending messages; Later, the mobile phone has become the terminal of the whole mobile Internet and your extension. Quitting mobile phones is more or less retrograde at the moment. Retrograde is naturally very laborious. Wu Yiyi, who is now working, once again moved the idea of giving up her mobile phone, but she found that compared with seven years ago, it is difficult to give up her mobile phone by using physical isolation method: nails for clock in and clock out, Didi is used to make a car, wechat has work news at any time and always occupies more than 20g of internal memory Whether it is a BlackBerry antique machine or a multi Pro student machine, it is difficult to bear this responsibility, and the intelligent isolation box seems to be the only choice, but it is not very suitable to watch the debugging effect of the active page on the mobile phone at any time during work. The "no Internet mobile phone" equipped with Android system is easier to "break through". The color screen can play games, and the ink screen is used to read comics. Coupled with the small retro appearance, it is impossible to stop playing. "Besides, if you don't want to do business, you can play on the computer." How many young people don't face computers in the company? Reduce the video to the small right corner of the computer screen, and you can perfectly disguise it as a garbage pop-up advertisement; If you open the e-book in word, you can feel at ease from the collision between marisu and the president to seeing the president lift marisu's cover. It's even more fun to play at home, computers, tablets, Nintendo game consoles... You don't have to worry about the boss's burning eyes, just paralyze your conscience and ignore your flag. All substitution is meaningless. Regardless of the effectiveness of the isolation box for the time being, if all the harmful human and machine are locked up, it's better to lock up yourself. It is not difficult to understand why the mobile phone isolation box is matched with "chicken blood" stickers, and chicken blood copywriting is also common on the sales pages of various mobile phone isolation boxes: get back your time! Self disciplined people deserve success! In the final analysis, locking up the mobile phone is actually the self-discipline anxiety of young people. How many steps does it take to lock the phone? Young people also understand that the answer is actually very simple: just lock the screen. One step in total. Wang Xiaohui, Wu Linyi and Wu Yiyi are pseudonyms. (Xinhua News Agency)
