The author is a post-90s, just in time for the rise of the Internet wave. The next part of this article will focus on the evolution of cell phones to observe the changes in the Spring Festival. In 2014, I started using a large-screen smartphone (obviously, the first smartphone in my life was not an Apple phone that I could not afford), and I really experienced the great changes of the Chinese New Year. In 2007 to 2010, when I was in high school, I clearly remember the family has a landline, cell phone from Xiaolingtong to Nokia N73, but at that time only a cell phone at home, mainly or parents in use, I and relatives and friends and classmates of the Spring Festival greetings only face to face form. And when I went to university in 2010, I began to have their own cell phone (obviously, the first phone in life must still be able to smash walnuts Nokia). It is because of the university met a lot of foreign students, so the Spring Festival group text messages, mutual phone calls become the second means of greeting each other when they can not meet. But family reunion dinners and New Year's Eve dinners are still the mainstream, after all, phone calls and text messages are not free to spend money ah ~ the use of QQ is also very common at this time, but the existence of mobile dream network so QQ than SMS is not much stronger. The red colored red envelope is still the most beautiful scenery during the New Year's Eve. In 2013-2014, there were two phenomena worth noting. One is the launch of WeChat. The function of sending messages with voice instead of typing is not only convenient, but also can carry a tone of voice and more information, and once it appeared, it quickly spread, and WeChat quickly defeated QQ, once the king of communication. The rise of WeChat symbolizes the increase in network speed, which has narrowed the distance between people who cannot see each other at will, and has raised the imagination and pursuit of the general public for a more efficient common direction. The second is the rise of online take-out, the increasing number of take-out boys in universities, but note that at this time there is also the option to participate in the payment to cash, rather than having to pay online first. Although it was possible to order food from hotels by phone before that, the maturity of take-out is a sign that real-time payment and logistics are taking shape, and as the volume of transactions increases, the Internet platform must be more accurate and efficient in processing orders and improving its functions to meet people's needs. From now on, although the spring festival is still basically the same, but this is only the calm before the storm ~ People's habits are always particularly easy to change, from 2015 to the present, the author has almost cut off with cash, really can have six or seven years almost did not touch the paper money, can mention cash when basically only from the exchange of the elderly in the family. Alipay and WeChat payments can be seen everywhere, the arrival of 3G and 4G era allows online mutual red envelope function continues to mature (including the convenience of payment methods, red envelope skin changes, etc.), the group to send New Year's wishes, WeChat group red envelopes to grab red envelopes (even the money transferred through WeChat), video calls, shaking and other new forms let people open up a new world, while along with the fireworks ban The New Year has finally become the "Internet Year". Now, with the arrival of the 5G era, major Internet platforms are showing their skills during the new year, and everyone is spending a lot of time on their cell phones both during the week and in the New Year, so the New Year really doesn't have the flavor of the past. But now even the concept of meta-universe has come out, maybe in the future we all bring all kinds of "R devices" (AR, VR, MR, etc.) in the digital world to spend New Year!
