Nowadays, most people have their own moblie phone, people can connect to others through the internet within a second. It is very powerful that we can know so many things or connect to the world just by using a small phone. In past, people may think it is incredible and unbelievable, but people are very used to it nowadays. It is very normal to have a phone with mobile data, it is not a big deal to everyone, but it does change our life and lifestyle.
I am a food lover and I really love to go to the Chinese restaurant for “Yum Cha”. Yum Cha is a very traditional Chinese food culture that people gather around and eat dim sum together, people used to share their life or chitchat to their friend and family while yum cha, it is quite a gathering activities to let people spend time together.
In recent year, the meaning of Yum Cha changed. People go to Yum Cha is not for the same reason as the old days. People used to talk a lot and share stuff to others, but now they talk with their phone to the people not around them. When I go to Yum Cha with my friends, we didn’t talk much about yourself or anything, they just play games on their phone or text their friends all the time.
All we do for Yum Cha is:
- Find an available table and sit
- Make the decision of the food and order it
- “Take out the mobile phone and play until the food arrived”
- Eat and play the phone at the same time
- Check the bills
Although we are in the same place, even sit in the same table, people are more focus on the media space than real life. It feels it doesn’t matter who we are sitting with, what is matter is the mobile data is work so that we can keep playing or contact with our own media space.
