When my mother had her 60th birthday, I bought her a television with a cable signal. From ** TV to local satellite TV, as well as various channels in the province and city, about sixty or seventy programs can be received.
There are so many TV programs, and my mother only loves two kinds of TV dramas, one is various anti-Japanese dramas, and the other is TV shopping.
Let's talk about the drama first, I remember the summer vacation of 17 years, I took my children back to my hometown for a week, and there was an anti-Japanese drama on the stage, which was starring a well-known actor.
The heroine in the play wears the lipstick of Death Barbie pink, wears an extremely ** backless red dress, drives a car, sits on a yacht, fights from land to water, and finally climbs onto ***
Looking at the background again, it was a story that happened in 1925, and at that moment, I felt the existence of parallel time and space.
Looking at the base camp of the protagonist group, a sense of science and technology is coming, and the technical experts in charge of research and development have even developed communication devices similar to mobile phones.
One thing to say, although the anti-Japanese drama is outrageous, it is just a pleasure to watch it, and there is no substantial harm. But TV shopping is different.
At that time, there was no live broadcast with goods, the operation threshold for mobile shopping was relatively low, the elderly generally couldn't do it, TV shopping was different, pick up the mobile phone to call the order**, leave the address, and you can pay on delivery.
My mother has bought silk quilts, rotating mops, edge rubbing liquor, cupping machines, five-element needles, four-piece sets, infrared physiotherapy instruments, various health products, etc., etc., etc., which cannot be said to be useless, but most of them are useless.
Until one time, I bought a so-called "gold inlaid jade", spent more than 3,000, and said to give it to the child, I got it and looked at it, and the total was less than two grams**, and the jade was worth dozens of dollars.
I took her seriously to *** to evaluate this "gold inlaid jade" **, and my mother realized that she had been deceived, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, and she sulked at herself, so angry that she stopped the cable TV and stopped watching TV.
After the village was connected to the Internet, I bought a smartphone for my parents, and I usually had nothing to do to chat. With the launch of the short ** platform and the development of self-**, everything has become outrageous.
First of all, I shared all kinds of appalling articles in the WeChat group, and the summary is that everything in restaurants is poisonous, everything in supermarkets has additives, vegetables are sprayed, fruits are ripe, pork is injected with water, and seafood is radiated ......
Even the chicken wings that the children in the family liked to eat turned out not to be made, saying that the hormones of the chicken's whole body were in the wings.
I finally got these explanations through, and I will talk about life for you to reason, no way, on the short ** platform, astronomy and geography, history and art, everything!
After watching a movie in five minutes, watching a TV series in twenty minutes, I can read Chinese history for you in half an hour, and after watching it for a few months, I feel that I am knowledgeable.
Parents know that I don't want to listen to what they say, so they start to instill this in my children, which makes me very anxious, these other people chew up and feed others knowledge, it is only the result, there is no process of absorption, it is not tantamount to the growth of the child.
I had a rare outburst of anger over this, and it stopped.
In recent years, live streaming on mobile phones has become popular, and it is extremely convenient for the elderly to buy things, just transfer it directly to WeChat payment. The strange objects in my parents' house are slowly getting more and more.
It's okay to buy some things, after a few years of brushing, my parents' eyesight has deteriorated greatly, they are all presbyopia and myopia, and they have lived for most of their lives, but they still wear their eyes when they are old.
Last winter, I changed my parents to a 75-inch TV, and I didn't install cable TV, so I found a live TV apk on the Internet, and set it to start on, and there were only ** and satellite TV programs in it.
At home during the Chinese New Year, I watched TV and chatted with my parents, there was no anti-Japanese drama, no TV shopping, and I seemed to have found the previous feeling.
One thing to say, although the programs produced by ** TV and satellite TV are old, after all, the audience over the years is the same people, but the quality is still ***. In terms of news programs alone, it is much more reliable than the short ones!
From TV to mobile phone and from mobile phone to TV. The lesser of two evils is dwarfed!
But in the end, what parents lack is companionship. If you can't live together, you might as well go home and see more!
