Two days ago, there was a joke on the Internet, saying that there was a fairy boy who, after studying the data of gaming chairs on the market, bought an electric wheelchair and came back, scaring the people in the office.
Unexpectedly, this thing was extremely cost-effective, and there was an endless stream of people visiting the company. He also invited others to sit on it and experience it, and drove the girls at the front desk to race in the corridor.
Although there is some exaggerated meaning in the words, it still arouses the curiosity of netizens who eat melons. Chatting and chatting, everyone began to discuss the feasibility of “electric wheelchair as a computer chair”.
It is said that lazy people change the world and technology changes life, but normal people who are alive and kicking don’t want gaming chairs and mesh chairs, but are vying for electric wheelchairs, which is somewhat a hellish joke.
Usually when we talk about wheelchairs, we inevitably think of the anchor “electric baton”. LOL players should not be unfamiliar with otto.
For a while, the electric baton caused severe leg pain when sitting down due to poor sitting posture for a long time, so I spent tens of thousands of dollars on a luxurious gaming chair, which is the kind of “space capsule” that can lie down and play games.
It happened to be the period when “King Gigi” was the most lively and melodramatic.
He himself is relatively thin, and he seems to be paralyzed in a chair when playing games live, only his hands are moving, so many people ridicule the anchor as a high paraplegic, playing games in a wheelchair/space capsule. Later, the electric baton became inseparable from the term “wheelchair”.
I have experienced a space capsule similar to an electric baton in an Internet cafe, similar to the D-wheel of “Yu-Gi-Oh 5DS”, and rolling like the wheels of “Iron Armor Little Treasure”. I always feel uncomfortable playing games while lying down. strange.
Unexpectedly, the “e-sports wheelchair” has become popular before the e-sports chair has become popular.
Because of a joke, the sunset red industry (users are generally elderly people with handicapped legs) met his second spring. The most embarrassing thing is that some manufacturers of medical equipment have recently begun to iteratively improve their wheelchair products by
People who have never seen an electric wheelchair may not understand its charm. In fact, as early as 2020, I saw a fat house posting on Island A.
He said that because the chair in the room was broken, he went to Goudong to buy a wheelchair in his brain. At this time, electric gears had not been popularized yet. He was already able to skilfully slide from the computer to the refrigerator to take out happy water, and entered the life of hemiplegia in advance.
This type of equipment, which was originally used as an accessory for medical equipment, was gradually equipped with a motor during the evolution process, and after several iterations, it became what it is today. Different from the square iron sheet of the old man, the electric wheelchair is like a convertible supercar in a low-speed electric car, with a stronger sense of openness. It is one of the most perfect travel vehicles in this era.
In the era of short videos, from time to time, news of “the old man riding a wheelchair on the road” can be seen on Douyin Kuaishou. They are ghosts on the road beyond the traffic rules, galloping on the vast Chinese transportation network. In front of the uncle, the million-dollar supercar can only obediently follow behind and dare not overtake, for fear that there will be friction and troubles.
At first, I watched the fun with the mentality of a fun person, but then I tried to simulate it in my brain. The electric wheelchair is really convenient, and it has its own unique advantages compared to the battery car.
①First of all, the battery car needs a license plate in many places, and the regular factory will also have a speed limit. Electric wheelchairs are medical devices. Although they cannot be used on the road in theory, as long as they are not on the motorway, the traffic police will generally ignore them.
②Secondly, the battery car cannot get on the subway, bus, or enter the scenic park. It can only solve the problem of the first/last mile of commuting. Although the battery life of electric wheelchairs is short, the advantage is that there are no restrictions on travel, and buses and subways come and go at will, which increases the mileage in disguise. You can also take the fast track when you go out to play.
(A reminder: don’t burden the staff by pretending to be gay with disabilities.)
③There are too many wild manufacturers of battery car accessories, the quality of lithium batteries circulating in the market cannot be guaranteed, and fires and explosions often make news. Electric wheelchairs are medical devices, and the factory quality control is stricter, so the chance of BOOM is relatively small.
④ Moreover, the design of electric wheelchairs on the market is very user-friendly, and basically have USB ports, which can charge mobile phones. It can also be used with external fans, massage cushions, LED desk lamps, etc…
I can make up a similar comparison ⑤⑥⑦⑧.
These electric wheelchairs that redefine what is called “meat-clad iron” usually sell for around 3,000 yuan. If an electric blanket is added under the buttocks, I believe that many people can sit for about a day…
As an editor, facing a blue-ray screen every day, myopia is getting worse and worse. If you insist on counting it as a “work-related injury”, you will also have a dull old waist that is terrible.
As I was writing, I was a little moved. I couldn’t help but look for an electric wheelchair in Goudong, and I came up with the idea of going for a drive on the beach. So I gave myself two slaps to calm down, and advised myself not to consume impulsively.
If the older brothers from science and engineering come, I have no doubt that they will make a lot of modifications, such as installing a bracket on the front to fix the portable monitor (now there are batteries) on it.
In this way, you can work while moving, realizing a real mobile office.
There are some UP owners at station B, who use electric batons to realize the concept of e-sports wheelchairs by hand, and even put the title of “OTTO’s new battle chair of the same style as Hawking”.
Don’t tell me, it does look like Hawking’s car, full of punk flavor.
In fact, Professor Hawking had a hobby of riding wheelchairs during his lifetime. He often adjusted his electric wheelchair to high speed and shuttled on the sidewalk. People from Cambridge University describe it like this:
“We rode our bicycles home late, and our little friend bumped into Hawking’s wheelchair on a quiet street on the shady bank of the River Cam. In those days, he used to drive the wheelchair at a certain speed without turning on the lights.”
Maybe the fisherman can make the best use of everything and transform the wheelchair into an off-road model. He can take the bucket out early in the morning, park it at any corner, and drive the wheelchair home in the evening without getting out of the car and walking around.
In the past, sitting in a wheelchair was a stereotype of a painful life, but now it has suddenly become a yearning and joy for a lazy life. It is foreseeable that more and more people will unpack their first electric wheelchair in their life.
In fact, it is difficult for you to find a healthy way of traveling like an electric wheelchair, which has no restrictions on use, no threshold for purchase, and a 360° panoramic view of nature.
Imagine sitting in a car seat when traveling, and you are always confined to a small space. Because you’re so used to it that you don’t realize that you’re just a passive audience.
Looking out the scenery from the car window is similar to looking at a computer monitor. The scenery is whizzing by in a frame, and I can only smell the smell of the wind to relieve boredom. Once in a wheelchair, the frame disappears.
Put yourself in the scenery, closely integrate with nature, and feel the freshness of being there. What you are walking on is a real concrete road, which is no different from walking on foot, and it is more labor-saving.
It may just feel novel at first, and slowly you will start to be fascinated by this feeling. I think this is why many people are now abandoning their cars and choosing to ride bicycles on weekends.
The unexpected journey itself is far more pleasant than rushing to a certain destination. Measuring every inch of land in a comfortable way is more in line with the concept of low-entropy life than taking the top spot in WeChat steps. Of course, if there are fewer cars on the road, it will be more enjoyable and safer.
We used to say that the Internet allows people to “see the world without leaving home”, and the future may be an era when electric wheelchairs allow people to “see the world without leaving home”.
It can be used as a sports car when you go out, and it can also be used as a gaming peripheral when you get home. To borrow a sentence from the opening paragraph, I am really worried that after half a year, there will be people in wheelchairs everywhere.
