Without us even realizing it, smartphones have taken over our lives. Most of us can’t go much longer than 10 minutes before we check our phones and if we find ourselves without the device, we can feel more than a little lost. There was a time, however, before smartphones even existed. 在我们尚未察觉之时,手机已经占领了我们的全部生活。许多人甚至坚持不了10分钟,就一定要去看一下手机,如果我们发现手机不在身边,就会有一种深刻的失落感。可是,我们也有这样的过去,那时手机甚至尚未诞生。 1.Watching Gigs Without Being Compelled To Film 观看表演时没有拍照的强迫症 Before smartphones took over our lives, we actually watched concerts with our eyes. Now, seeing anything that isn’t framed by a miniature screen just feels wrong. 在手机占领我们的生活以前,我们会用眼睛来真正去欣赏一场演唱会。而如今,如果一副图像不是被小小的屏幕框起来,我们就会觉得看着别扭。 2.Trying And Failing To Date Other People 跟异性约会并失败 Dating without the help of the smartphone was a very real and painful situation. The sheer terror of actually having to approach a real person, in real life, is utterly unthinkable and we can all let out a sigh of relief for the invention of dating apps. 在没有手机帮助的情况下跟异性约会,这可是件非常现实又困难的事情。在真实生活中切实的靠近某人,这种处境会带来难以预想的恐惧感。还好约会app的诞生让我们得到解放,可以长长的舒一口气了。 |
