In the summer of 1999, Xiao Gao and his mother went to Wuhan where his father worked. A month ago, my father told my mother how to transfer to the destination and told my mother the terminal. My mother, who had only been to Wuhan once, got off the bus early when she changed to a bus in Wuhan. Because there was no mobile phone and no map software, Xiao Gao and his mother got off the bus and asked passers-by how to get there? On the one hand, they spoke a dialect, on the other hand, the Wuhan people were xenophobic and arrogant. The two got off the car at noon, and it was not until 4-5 in the afternoon that they walked all the way to ask where their father lived. Two people walked at least 20 kilometers. Great summer.
In the summer of 2009, Xiao Gao went to college. In this university, although Xiao Gao was in junior high school, his sister took him there, but this time, he went by himself. With a dazed look. Worried about going wrong, Xiao Gao checked the photos of the train station, the school gate, and the college gate on the Internet in advance. Most importantly, Xiao Gao bought a paper map specially. With twists and turns, Xiao Gao took two suitcases and a map from time to time, and finally arrived at school.
In the winter of 2019, Xiaogao went to Qingdao on a business trip. This was Xiaogao's first visit. Xiao Gao only knows the place name of the target city on his business trip, but Xiao Gao doesn't panic at all. Xiao Gao didn't check this address specifically. When a colleague told him the address, he checked the distance between the airport and the destination and how to get on the bus, and this matter was set aside. On that day, Xiao Gao got off the plane, took out a certain map app, opened the location, input the target place, and then used the taxi function of the app to make an appointment. Three minutes later, the appointment car came, and Xiao Gao got in the car.
On Saturday, Xiao Gao wanted to visit Ocean University of China, and then he took out a map app again, and entered the school name after locating. Because I went to Qingdao for the first time, I don't know whether Qingdao taxi drivers slaughtered passengers. On the road, Xiao Gao kept opening the app and asked the driver whether to follow the itinerary of the map app.
The Map App has changed Xiao Gao's way of traveling.

In the winter of 2001, the junior high school went to junior high school. At that time, the elementary school went to junior high school. If there is an exam, there are questions and tactics. Xiao Gao wrote well. The teacher asked Xiao Gao to copy the good questions that the teacher had copied in advance on the blackboard. Xiao Gao copied on the blackboard, and other students copied the blackboard from their seats. After everyone finished copying, everyone would do it again.
In 2005, the junior high school was in the third grade. It's the grade of Tihai Tactics again. At this time, there are test papers. It is the one with only one side that cannot be printed on the reverse side, and the test paper with a layer of black ink on the hand. This kind of test paper is arranged in small squares by the staff of the printing factory.
At 8:55 am on October 23, 2020, Xiao Gao opened the meeting content prepared last night and clicked the "Print" button in the upper right corner of Excel. After 1 second, the printer next to Xiao Gao came out with 7 identical meeting content. . At 9 o'clock in the morning, Xiao Gao took the printed paper and entered the meeting room.
The printing method has changed Xiao Gao's study/work style.

In the Spring Festival of 2010, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Gao's brother-in-law ran to the train station at 5 a.m. to buy train tickets for Xiao Gao to return to school after the first month. Two hours later, the brother-in-law called his mother and said that the ticket was bought.
In the early days of May Day in 2013, Xiao Gao wanted to buy a train ticket from his work city to his hometown. Because Xiaogao's unit belongs to the confidential department, his computer cannot connect to the Internet. Xiaogao finds the department leader, and the leader finds a colleague from the Information Office. Xiaogao goes to the computer at the Information Office, logs in to 12306, and then buys a train ticket to his hometown. At that time, the mobile phone could not buy tickets.
In September 2020, something happened to Xiao Gao's hometown. When he learned about it, Xiao Gao was still taking a lunch break. Seeing the missed call, Xiao Gao called back and found out about the family. Xiao Gao, who was still in bed, took out his smartphone, logged in to a third-party ticketing software, and bought a train ticket back to his hometown that night. Then continue to sleep.
The way of buying tickets has changed Xiao Gao's way of riding.

In 1999, Xiao Gao's sister worked in Shenzhen. At that time, very few people had fixed telephones at home, let alone mobile phones.
My family misses my sister, and my sister also misses home. Xiao Gao in elementary school, write a letter. I also need to draw a Saturday and Sunday, go to the post office to buy stamps and envelopes, and then mail them to my sister. About a week later, my sister received the letter.
When my elder sister takes a break, she will reply to her letter. About a week later, she received her letter at home. Two weeks have passed since the time.
In 2005, Xiao Gao's mother had a feature phone. At that time, she was in contact with her sister or other family members. Texting. 1 cent per day for text messages. At that time, it only cost about 50 cents to eat a breakfast. The cost of 1 dime is not low.
SMS is calculated as 1 text per 70 words. Every time after editing the content, Xiaogao’s mother found that the content of the text message was too high. To save money, the text message content deleted irrelevant content or condensed the language. Then send it out.
In 2016, Xiaogao was on a business trip to Henan. For the first time, he saw a swan, took pictures with his family, and then sent the pictures to his family through WeChat.
In October 2020, Xiao Gao was on a business trip to a city in the northeast. Xiao Gao took out a certain music app and took 20 seconds to take a picture of seagulls changing into flying and calling. At the same time, he could hear the video of the waves. After the filming, Xiao Gao felt that the video effect was not particularly good. Xiao Gao added a little special effects and sent it to his family.
At that time, my mother without a smartphone was at the eldest sister's house. The eldest sister initiated a video call through WeChat and asked Xiao Gao where there are seagulls. Xiao Gao said that he was on a business trip in the Northeast. He came out on Saturday to go around. While talking, she turned the phone camera and said to the phone video: Mom , You see, this is a seagull, a bird in the sea.
Communication method has changed Xiao Gao's communication method.
Whether it is a map app, ticket purchase, or communication, all these changes are the work behind the programmer.
In fact, I myself particularly don't like the term "code farmer", whether it is to express other people's positions or self-deprecating. Software engineer has always been a very sacred position in my eyes, because it has indeed changed the world and is continuing to change the world.
1024, Happy Programmer's Day. The world is beautiful because of "programmers".
