The newspaper where editor Yu works also purchased a few computers, but most people don't know how to use them. The college student in the newspaper who can type on a computer instantly became the treasure of the entire newspaper, and it is said that he will be given priority in every promotion.

For editors, the slogan "Learn to type in three days" is indeed too tempting!

"486 yuan is a bit expensive, but it is definitely worth it if Yangyang can learn to type on a computer!"

The next second, Editor Yu put his hand into his pocket and took out five hundred yuan.

…

The first batch of learning machines appeared on the market and quickly became a hot-selling product.

This is not because the learning machine is an excellent product, but because children ask for it from their parents.

Ask for it in the name of learning computers!

At that time, families that could spend 486 yuan to buy a learning machine were basically middle-class families at that time, and many of them were intellectuals.

This kind of middle-class family also attaches the most importance to the cultivation of their children. Because this generation of middle-class families are basically the group of people who change their destiny through knowledge, they understand the importance of knowledge very well and hope that their children will

You can learn more knowledge.

Spending a few hundred yuan to learn computers was a super cost-effective investment for middle-class families at that time.

Even if you can't learn how to use a computer, it's still great if you can learn to type.

The gimmick of learning to type in three days is indeed very tempting!

This was the case for middle-class families at that time. They were willing to invest in their children's education. Educational expenses would account for a large part of the family expenditure, or even the majority of the family expenditure.

However, the return brought by this kind of investment is completely disproportionate, and it can even be said that the money is wasted.

But this is the Chinese style parent!

The same is true in post-war China. Those who buy houses in school districts must be the middle class, and children from middle-class families also have to attend the most cram schools and specialty classes.

Perhaps middle-class parents are more eager to hope that their children can maintain their middle-class status or even move towards a higher class.

Children from poor families and children from rich families don't have so many worries.

Children from poor families cannot afford to go to cram schools, and they are not qualified to develop special skills. If they study well, they can get into a good university, change their destiny, become middle class, and then enroll their children in classes;

If you don't study well, you will work in a factory early, save enough money for gifts, marry a wife, have a baby, and then watch the baby repeat your life.

Children from wealthy families do not need to sign up for various classes. They have the capital to do whatever they want. They can hire specialized private tutors to learn one or two specialties at home based on their personal hobbies. It is really to cultivate their sentiments. As for learning,

Whether it's good or not, it doesn't matter at all. Being happy is the most important thing.

Many families live in luxury houses, drive luxury cars, and talk about millions of dollars. They seem to have good financial conditions, but as long as they are still sending their children to cram schools, it means that they are not rich enough and they cannot give their children a carefree life.

future, so children still need to use knowledge to change their destiny!

…

Yu Yang finally has his own learning machine.

Looking at the excited Yu Yang, Editor Yu felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Yu Yang inserted the study card and began to practice typing as if he were doing it.

Editor Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Study hard and try to learn typing as soon as possible!"

Editor Yu looked at it for a while and then walked out of the house. He still had work to do.

After Editor Yu left, Yu Yang quickly took out a game cartridge and inserted it into the learning machine.

Soon after, the music started playing, and on the TV screen, a little man with a gun jumped out of the helicopter.

"Contra" starts!

Soon, Yu Yang was enjoying it.

From then on, Yu Yang spent more than an hour every day "practicing typing".

On weekends or holidays, Yu Yang would ask his classmates and friends to "practice typing" together.

Editor Yu, who was busy at work, did not notice this. He thought his child was really learning computers.

Yu Yang's situation is not a special case. In 1990, any parent who was willing to spend 486 yuan to buy a learning machine was not busy with work?
