Chapter 95 A completely different "mobile phone generation"

The "Game Generation" was followed by the "Mobile Generation". The "mobile phone generation", they seem to belong to a completely different people than their predecessors.To sum up the characteristics of this generation in one sentence, they can dream up things that we have never seen or imagined, and they are also a generation without fighting spirit and ambition. For example, they are very fond of mobile communities and mobile websites, and carry out business activities and communicate with others on such platforms.This may seem unbelievable to their predecessors, and we may not agree with their overall acceptance of Internet things.

10 years ago, mobile phones were just beginning to rise; today, who would have expected that mobile phones have become an indispensable tool in our lives.The functions of mobile phones have covered all aspects of life: sending and receiving emails, web browsing, MP3, receiving and audio-visual programs, games, shooting and MMS transmission, animation, personal time management, shopping, ticket reservation and purchase, account settlement... It can be said that now There is nothing a mobile phone can't do. The "mobile community" mentioned above is an auction system launched by DeNA in 2004. You can use it as a platform to conduct online auctions of your own things.It is said that this website now has 16 million page views a day, and more than 60% of the users are women, and the mobile game and SNS platform launched by the company later reached an astonishing 200 million daily page views.

In this case, it seems natural to call them the "mobile phone generation", but please don't forget that this mobile phone culture is unique to Japan.Cell phones are fashionable in other countries, but few have as many special features as those in Japan today. To say the biggest characteristic of this generation, first of all, they do not have their own computers.Most people who own computers in Japan are in their 30s, but the computer ownership rate of young people in their early 20s of the "mobile phone generation" is as low as that of people in their 50s. This generation never used a landline and didn't watch TV.In short, all their affairs are solved with mobile phones.But even if they don't have a computer, they still use a computer.

Tetsuro Kobayashi, an assistant professor at the National Institute of Intelligence Research, pointed out in a survey in 2002 that "among the people who only use mobile phones to surf the Internet and send and receive emails, the proportion of people with low education is gradually increasing", but in daily life, although using There are many opportunities for computers, but as long as they can use mobile phones, the "mobile phone generation" will never use computers, even if they are no strangers to computers. As I said at the beginning of this chapter, this generation is less ambitious and less motivated than any previous generation.They don't have the slightest interest in cars and state-of-the-art electronics, all they are interested in is what the mobile phone has to offer.

Here we must talk about the difference between mobile phones and computers. Japanese mobile phones use the GMS signal transmission method, which is different from mobile phones in other countries. This is a highly intelligent method unique to Japan.Japanese mobile phones do not use the universal network system, but many young people in Japan regard mobile phones as their only necessity.The entire world's network is very large, and it can be said that this kind of mobile phone has many extremely unreasonable features, which finally led to the "mobile phone generation" forming a narrower worldview than any other generation.

China and South Korea are now working on the popularization of computers.Because the Internet is the main battlefield in today's world, the popularity of computers is of great significance, whether it is in the United States or Europe. The above is my analysis of people of all ages in Japan.What I want to say most here is: There is a big gap between each generation in Japan, and they are isolated from each other. Now the entire Japanese society is full of criticism of young people, and adults are pointing the finger of the problem at the young people nowadays.Under the instigation of the media, they all believe in such a principle, that is, "For things that cannot be understood, we must first criticize them."

Especially in the eyes of the "deviation value generation" and "juvenile jump generation", the "gamer generation" and "mobile phone generation" are completely unreasonable, so they must be criticized.On the social issue of young people gnawing on the old and not working, they also agreed that it is entirely the responsibility of young people themselves.
