The development of the times is bound to move forward, our way of life,It is also bound to change as new things emerge.

For example, some items in the home do not know when they no longer work out of use, or have been replaced by new products.

In this issue, we will take stock of 10 "home products" that used to be necessary for every family, but now they are gradually eliminated, all of which are "tears of the times".

1. Fixed clothes pole

pastThe clothes pole on the balcony is basically two stainless steel pipes, although the bearing capacity is good and very durable, but it is a little inconvenient for daily use, you need to use the clothes pole to hang the clothes, and you can't dry quilts and sheets.

nowBasically, it is replaced by an electric clothes rod, which can be lifted freely as long as the clothes rod is gently pressed, which perfectly solves the problem of inconvenience in the use of traditional clothes rods.

In addition, some families even completely abandon the balcony clothes pole for the sake of aesthetics, and replace it with a clothes dryer.

Second, the living room large ceiling fan

pastThe large ceiling fan is a must-have product at home. As a "cool artifact" in summer, I even have a picture of eating watermelon under the ceiling fan when I was a child, which is called a pleasant.

nowWith the popularity of air conditioning, large ceiling fans have basically faded out of our sight. It's not that it's not easy to use, it's just that modern houses are no longer suitable for installing large ceiling fans due to the height of the floor.

However, if the height of the home can reach more than 7.0m, you can still install one. In the case that the weather is not particularly hot, it is more energy-efficient and comfortable than air conditioning.

3. The roof box of the guest hall

pastIf you install a TV at home, you must install an IPTV set-top box with a remote control, only then can the TV watch various program channels normally.

nowWith the increasing number of electronic products, not to mention set-top boxes, even TVs have been abandoned by many families. Even if you have a TV installed, you no longer need a set-top box, and you can watch it at any time as long as you have a membership.

Fourth, mechanical door locks

pastThe entrance door of the home is basically a mechanical door lock. I am often troubled by the loss of my keys, the inability to find my keys, and the fact that I have no keys with me when I go out.

nowEven the new houses delivered by the developer helped us pre-install smart door locks. Whether it is fingerprint unlocking, password unlocking, or face recognition unlocking, it is much more convenient than a key.

In addition, the remote monitoring of the IQ door lock and the interconnection of mobile phone APP have also greatly increased the security of residence.

Fifth, the big cotton quilt

pastThe big cotton quilt is the warmest companion in winter, even if the weather is cold, sleeping at night can give people a full sense of security.

In addition, it is also an indispensable dowry for marriage, like my large closet, there are a few large cotton quilts that I bought when I got married.

nowBasically, it was replaced by a lighter and softer silk quilt, duvet, and wool quilt. The reason is also very simple, that is, the cotton quilt is too heavy, and it is a little breathless when pressed on the body, and it is relatively hygroscopic.

6. Pillow towel

pastIn order to avoid soiling the pillow while sleeping, a pillow towel will be laid out. I still remember when I was a child, I was murdered by my mother many times because I didn't like to lay pillows.

To be honest, I still don't understand why pillows have to be pillows, obviously there were already pillowcases at that time, isn't this a superfluous move?

nowIn addition to the older generation, it is rare to see people use pillows, basically pillowcases, just throw them in the washing machine to clean, very convenient.

7. Universal charger

pastThe mobile phone battery is removable, and the universal charger is a must-have for every family. Not only can you charge the battery of your mobile phone, but also the battery of your camera and remote control, but the charging speed is a bit slow.

nowBasically eliminated by the times, it is estimated that some post-00 generations don't know it when they see it. Instead, there is a unified charging cable, which is not only highly efficient, but also safer.

8. Burning water pots

pastBoiling water is boiled over an open flame and then flushed into a thermos. The only trouble is that you need to look at it from time to time during the boiling process to prevent overflow.

nowThere shouldn't be many people who use an open flame to boil water anymore, either by using an electric kettle or installing a water purifier to drink water, which is much more convenient than using a kettle.

9. Wall clock

pastThere will be a wall clock on the wall of every house, and even a standard product in the living room, in addition to being used to record time, it also carries a sense of home ritual.

nowWith the existence of electronic products such as mobile phones, TVs, and smart audio, more and more families no longer deliberately install them. Even if some home installations are installed, they exist as a decoration and do not have any practical significance.

十、報紙

pastNewspapers are one of our main ways of getting information, and the newsstands that can be found everywhere on the streets also make it easy for us to keep up to date with the news and hot topics of the day.

nowWith the spread of mobile phones and the Internet, access to information has become more and more convenient, and the newsstands on the street have gradually disappeared. Sometimes, in order to find some newspapers to do housework, I even have to go to the scrap yard to find and buy them.

Write at the end:

Throughout the development of the times, no matter what kind of home furnishing products are, what is really suitable for us is never the fashion, but the changing lifestyle, aesthetics and needs.

Those products that have become "tears of the times" may one day return in another form and glow with new value.
