If Edison came to live in the 21st century for a week, what would be the most exciting thing for him? Mo Yan, a writer, points out that the wide application of mobile phones has profoundly influenced people's way of communication, thoughts, feelings and concepts. Mobile phones have changed people's pace of life, making everything fast and convenient. People do not have to Hongyan letters, with a mobile phone, greetings will arrive in an instant; People no longer have to deal with the paperwork for daily labor, with cell phones, sweat is just a dictionary story; People no longer need to meet for thousands of miles. With mobile phones, communication between each other flows in the circle of friends. Life is so convenient, like fast food to meet demand. But after eating, people's heart is not some sense of loss? Yes, mobile phones bring us convenience, but we lose the enjoyment of life.

"Huangmei season every rain, grass pond everywhere frogs. Have a guest not to come in the middle of the night, idle knock chess pieces fall lantern." Zhao Shixiu's "The Guest" is a leisurely life of thousands of years ago. Nowadays, we have ignored the scenery around us in a hurry and only focus on the size of the screen. Despite the passage of time, in summer, autumn, winter and spring, we have no happiness and no intention to enjoy the slow life with relaxation. If we were Zhao Shixiu, we wouldn't even notice the rain when the plums were yellow while we were waiting. In the rain, frogs will only focus on updating wechat, Weibo, leaving messages, or I am afraid that I have already made a phone call to question the other party's failure to make an appointment. Modern life can not afford to wait, but can not realize the wait for a little bit of expectation, waves of anxiety and the trace of loss. The fast pace of life makes us get what we want quickly, but leaves us barren in the end.

Do you still remember Yu Guangzhong's Requiem Bells? There is no one who has an ear nerve but springs to his feet in horror at the precise and intermittent attacks, at the succession of urges. It is high and dense, Qieer and don't give up, like rows of arrogant exclamation marks, rolling to us, enchanting. We are like Chaplin in "Modern Times", controlled by the machine, become the slave of the machine. People are enslaved by what they have invented, this is "alienation". We invent machines and tools, and we are often trapped by them and lose our minds.

Can't help but think of that romantic snowy night, green ants new fermented grains, red mud fire, "late day to snow, can drink a cup of no" said the missing old people. Light sadness in the night waiting for the snow spread...... If there is a mobile phone at that time, Liu Xi19 will come quickly, that through the waiting and more precious sincerity and kindness will also be greatly discounted.

In the dead of night, ask yourself, why are we living in such a hurry? Are we happy in this rhythm? Some people say that because of mobile phones, mobile phones have changed our lives. I want to say that mobile phones are created because of human desires, and life is changed because of human desires. Mobile phone is just the form of relying on, people compete with each other constitute the society, the society of fame, the atmosphere of the atmosphere of quick success and immediate benefits, let us no longer have the time and energy to enjoy a spiritual feast, is we have changed their way of life, trampling on their soul and heart.

Thoreau wrote in Walden, "I went into the woods and sucked all the marrow out of life. To crush all that is not life, lest when I come to the end of it, I discover that I never lived." To defeat all that is not life, and when we are lost, we begin to know what we really need. Put down the mobile phone, life is full of achievements, but should also poetically dwell on this land.
