An Indian girl went to her classmate's house in China and was a little shocked to find that there was no big color TV in her classmate's house. Many Chinese netizens think that it is normal to not have a TV installed.
This has also triggered netizens to think about the understanding and importance of TV and technology in different countries.
In the 80s and 90s, when home entertainment in China was relatively limited, television was one of the main channels for people to get information and relax and be entertained.
At night, the whole family sits in front of the TV** TV series and variety shows have become the norm. Television not only provides a rich and varied program content, but also becomes an important place for family members to communicate and share.
With the rapid development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, television sets have gradually spread to thousands of households.
However, the rapid development of smartphones and the Internet has pulled down the status of TV, and people are more willing to use personal devices such as mobile phones and tablets to watch**. These factors have led to a gradual decline in the status of television, although it still has a certain share in Chinese households.
But in India, the situation is a little different, and television still has a high status for families. Because of the relative lag in smartphone and internet usage, many households still rely on TV as their primary source of information** and entertainment.
The Indian girl's surprise to see that there was no TV at home for her Chinese classmates actually reflected the differences in TV culture and family concepts between the two countries.
She mistakenly thought that the family without a TV must be very poor, but in fact, this is the collision of two different cultural concepts and stages of development. It reflects the differences in economic, cultural and technological development of different countries, which will directly affect people's choice of entertainment methods.
With the rapid development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, it is more inclined to personalized and mobile entertainment, such as smartphones, tablets, etc., through Youku, iQiyi and other platforms.
In contrast, in India, despite the increasing penetration of smartphones and the internet, there are still many areas that are facing the problem of unstable internet connectivity.
Television sets have a wider coverage in this case, allowing more people to ** a variety of programs.
In addition, people are more likely to buy a TV for the entertainment needs of their family members than for a more expensive smartphone or internet connection. As a result, traditional family entertainment is still dominant in India.
Through these circumstances, we have learned that television has different status and significance in different countries, which not only reflects the changes in technological development, but also reflects the collision and integration of different cultural concepts.
In the context of globalization, where cultural differences persist, it is essential to understand and respect the cultural diversity and development trajectories of different countries. It's not just about how we use technology tools, it's about the respect and understanding we should have when dealing with cultural differences.
We should pay attention to cross-cultural communication, abandon stereotypes, embrace diversity, and promote exchange, understanding and integration among various cultures. Such cross-cultural experiences contribute to a better understanding of globally diverse societies and foster the integration of cultures to create a more inclusive and enriching future.
