Pager, Big Brother-the most IN fashion item of the year
"Big Brother" and "Pager" that appeared in the 1980s and 1990s brought us into the era of mobile communications. At that time, "Big Brother" was worth tens of thousands of dollars, and ordinary people couldn't afford it. I was envious of seeing someone on the street holding "Big Brother" on the phone. Pagers are relatively cheaper, but they are also several hundred larger. By the mid-90s, when pagers entered their heyday, almost every man would hang one on his waist, with the mantra "call me if something happens."
Motorola and Santana are known as synonymous with the "two big pieces" in the 1990s. "Motorola pager, send information anytime, anywhere" is a very famous slogan in the pager era. At that time, China's annual demand for Motorola pagers reached almost 4 million units. However, within a few years, the advent of mobile phones, PHS and other communication means gradually squeezed the pager out of the market, and the BP machine disappeared.
renters and sellers-the "popular" we chased in those years:
Once upon a time, DVD shops and fast food restaurants can be seen everywhere, and saliva songs from the audio can be heard everywhere in the streets. Whenever I see a poster of my idol posted outside the door, I will definitely go in and use the money I saved to buy his latest CD. At that time, some DVD shops would provide rental services, and some new films were very popular. Every day I passed by after school and asked if I had come back.
At night, these little brothers who are pushing carts to sell discs open in the night market. Although they are all pirated discs, it depends on luck if they can buy them. Some mobile vendors change a place with one shot, and look at the colorful covers. There are all kinds of discs. They are also super cheap, one or two yuan each, so many people buy them. As a result, when I go back and insert the machine, it’s an empty disk. I want to go back to find a hawker. The theory has long disappeared. I can only admit that I am unlucky... The
tape should be the most popular in the 1980s and 1990s. My parents love to listen to men in those days. Teresa Teng and women love Fei Xiang the most. As soon as they saw Fei Xiang appearing on TV, they began to tell me the story of "Fei Xiang burned Daxinganling in a fire". The truth is this. In 1987, Fei Xiang sang a song "A Fire in Winter" on the Spring Evening in 1987. Then there was a fire in Daxinganling. Later, Fei Xiang sang another song "It's Time for Light Rain", and it was published in the south. Dashui... Fei Xiang lay innocently with the gun, so he felt sorry for him.
later had Walkman, repeater, MP3, MP4, but it didn't last long, and it was eliminated in a few years. In this networked era of smart phones and smart TVs, you can use your mobile phone to listen to songs or watch movies on the Internet or go to the cinema to watch IMAX.
Film projectionist, film runner-how many boring nights have you filled us?
In fact, film projectionists are also very hard. A film movie usually has 5 reels. One reel of film needs to be connected to another reel immediately. Sometimes the wrong reel is accidentally hung up. That would be a joke. Open-air movies were popular in the 1970s, and the most broadcasted films and model dramas with rural themes like "Little Erhei Marriage".
At that time, the school also organized to watch open-air movies on special festivals. The playground was crowded with parents. The popularity was evident.
also had a movie theater at the time, but buying tickets to watch a movie in a movie theater was a luxury, and only couples who were in love would go to it. After the 1990s, there were more and more cinemas, but film movies were the mainstream.
With the advent of the digital age, the work of a film projectionist has changed a lot. The movie is stored in the mobile hard disk and just downloads to the digital projector. Of course, in order to ensure security, you need a "secret key" to unlock. It is said that the "key" is generally received within three days before the screening, and the effective date is generally around 10 pm the previous day.
Shaver-onlyIn this case, you would be willing to let people put the knife holder on the neck
. The ancient Egyptians began to shave more than 3000 BC, but the ancient shaving tools were simple, and different historical periods had different aesthetics, and shaving was also It’s not always popular. Modern people are more familiar with the shave service of the old-fashioned barber shop. Usually, there is a set of shaving and shaving. The older the master, the better.
Shaving is exquisite. The master will first compress your entire face (mainly the chin) with a hot towel. The purpose is to open your skin pores and soften your beard, and then apply the homemade shaving foam evenly on your face. The next step is to shave. The master will carefully shave you with an old-fashioned razor (the kind used by the hairdresser Todd). The angle and strength are well mastered, and the shave is clean. The process is also very comfortable and even enjoyable. Replaced by
is a new type of razor, with a thinner and sharper blade, with shaving gel, you can do it yourself at home. The razor is easy to use, clean and comfortable, and inexpensive. It has become the first choice for men in the new era.
Popping cotton maker-once a year, the old cotton is changed into a new quilt
"Bump cotton, pop cotton, half a catty of cotton pops into eight or eight yo~" In the 1980s and 1990s, popping cotton was a very popular profession , The business is overwhelming. At that time, people were poor. Maybe only the parents would marry a well-sewn quilt when the children got married, but the quilt would be bought from the cotton quilt maker. The quilt was covered for a long time and became thinner, so I took it to the cotton quilt maker to renew it. Play it again, immediately fluffy and look new.
A curved slingshot, a grinding disc, a bouncing mallet and a sling stick in your hand, these are all the possessions of bouncing cotton. There are many processes for popping cotton, the main ones being popping, pressing, and online. If it is refurbishment of old floc, there is a process of tearing floc. The key to playing cotton is, of course, this "bouncing". Under the impact of a wooden hammer, the bowstring of the cotton bow vibrated fiercely, and the cotton wool was torn one by one and tossed around, like frightened flocks of white birds, quickly flying up. , And fell slowly. After a while, a thick layer of soft cotton was piled up on the bed.
Now, the ancient bomb cotton has been hard to find, replaced by more professional and efficient bomb cotton. In the past, each person can play up to two quilts per day. After mechanization, one person may be able to play hundreds of quilts a day. People no longer sew quilts on their own, but buy quilts anymore, and the quilters have been mercilessly pushed out of the historical stage.
In this era of rapid growth and death, no industry will continue to flourish, no technology will always dominate, and no profession will be the eternal golden rice bowl. An industry or profession does not necessarily fade away slowly. Sometimes, like the Berlin Wall, it collapses as soon as it is pushed.
