Realize Flash Play 認(rèn)識閃玩族
1 閃玩在都市年輕人中盛行
The survey shows that 22.9 percent said that spending time with strangers may help appease anxious and lonely moods, but 61.9 percent said that "flash play" can only temporarily make people relax and temporarily meet people's need to express themselves.
Yan is a hundred-percent "home guy" and he once claimed that,"Give me a network cable, and I'll be the king of the world." On the three-day May Day holiday last year, he stayed at home for all three days. "'Flash play' is just a kind of fresh experience, but it can't change my living habit of 'staying at home.' It will be very hard to change."
"'Flash play' is a bit like drinking. It's comfortable when you are drinking, but it's still painful when you recover from the drunkenness."said Zhong Gulan.
61.2 percent of the people in the survey agree that "flash play" is just a fast way of social contact. But 27.9 percent of them believe that"flash play" can satisfy all of a person's social contact requirements.
"The relationship that forms quickly and dissolves quickly actually more fits the appetite of the modern people.'Flash' can just satisfy their needs. There are also a few deep relationships established during 'flash play,' but not too many." Doctor Meng points out that if people try to rely on this fast method to establish deep relationships, they will fall into a vicious circle:Not having a deep relationship will make them feel uncomfortable and anxious; then they will want a deep relationship; but the more they want it, the harder it will be to establish it.
The survey also shows that 40.9 percent of the people in the survey realized that people can try "flash play" occasionally; but if they take it as their only way of social contact, they will feel lonelier and lonelier. 45.9 percent of the people in the survey expressed that when a real crisis occurs, only your closest friends could offer real support.
Sisi said that "flash play" certainly could be a way to make contact with people. If you get along well with somebody during a "flash play,"maybe you will ask him/her out to another "flash play." And then, maybe you will contact each personally and become good friends. That is quite possible.
"Maybe 10 years later 'flash play' will become quite common and even form a kind of subculture. Then, probably everyone will need to have 'flash play' groups to go to and establish relationships that might be even closer than family ties. In this way, even if 'flash play' doesn't encompass all social contact, it could at least be the start of it. 'Flash play' could help people find their partners as well as the groups that they belong to." said Meng.
