With the advent of the 5G era, will the divorce rate drop?

01 The divorce rate remains high during the epidemic

Last week, when my husband and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a replacement for our lost marriage certificate, we discovered a very strange phenomenon: the couples waiting to go through the formalities nearby were very cold to each other. They sat at the same table, but had almost no communication throughout the whole process.

After completing the formalities, they walked out of the door one after the other, as if they were strangers who had never met before. Logically, this is not what a newlywed couple should look like. The only explanation for this strange phenomenon is that they did not come together to get married, but to get divorced.

After searching online, I found that these divorce cases are not unique. Cities such as Shenzhen and Guangzhou have also seen a significant increase in divorce appointments in recent days, which is terrifying.

According to the Zhejiang Provincial High Court's data on nearly 50,000 divorces in 2018, the reasons for divorce are: the first is not economic or cheating problems, but more about the daily trivialities between couples, between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and between parents and children, accounting for 34.21%. The second is separation, accounting for 30.16%. In addition, weak relationships, domestic violence, personality problems, and lack of communication between couples are also part of the reasons for divorce.

The current epidemic situation can be said to be the most desolate of all life. Some couples quarreled every day over trivial matters in their homes, and even went to court; some couples were separated by the epidemic and could not see each other; and some couples experienced the separation of life and death, such as the most beautiful nurse who sent off her husband, the dean, who was suffering from the coronavirus, in tears;

An unexpected virus is not a touchstone for marriage. I just want to say that marriage is not easy, so cherish it while you have it, and don't wait until you lose the relationship to realize its value.

As the times continue to develop and progress, individuals' material and spiritual needs are becoming increasingly abundant. Faced with the high divorce rate in countries around the world, many people are discouraged from getting married, which has also led to a series of social problems such as low birth rate and serious social aging. Therefore, in order to improve human happiness and allow people to live and work in peace and contentment, alleviating the divorce rate needs to be put on the agenda.

02 The future is promising, and the high divorce rate is expected to be alleviated

Thinking of the great contribution that 5G application technology has made to prevention and control work during the epidemic, such as the application of unmanned disinfection robots, smart food and medicine delivery robots, and 5G+ thermal imaging temperature measurement systems and other high-tech technologies, this made me think: Will there be a 5G+ application technology in the future to alleviate the high divorce rate and create a happy and fulfilling marriage life for everyone? In my opinion, we still need to have a vision and there is still hope for the future.

The Beijing News commented: 5G is not only a technological revolution, but also contains a trillion-level market. So, what is 5G application technology? How does it change the way we work and live, and how can it bring people closer together?

5G is the latest generation of cellular mobile communication technology. Its data transmission rate is 100 times faster than that of 4G networks. It can transmit large amounts of high-definition video, virtual reality and other big data, and is used in the Internet of Things, unmanned driving, surgery, smart education, smart agriculture and other fields.

The diversified, integrated and intelligent development trend of 5G networks has brought great innovation space to various industries. Various application technologies have emerged, greatly changing people's lifestyles.

5G+artificial intelligence technology can also be used to perceive personal emotions and intentions, greatly bringing people closer together.

This makes me think, in the future, can big data be used to help people choose a spouse before marriage, so as to reduce the situation of quick marriage and divorce due to lack of understanding between men and women before marriage; or will there be emotional intelligent robots that can help solve conflicts between couples anytime and anywhere, making communication between men and women more efficient; or will there be "mind-reading technology" that allows people to understand each other's true thoughts, improve people's understanding of marriage relationships, and reduce unnecessary misunderstandings?

As writer John Gray said in his masterpiece "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus": When men and women can understand, respect and accept each other's differences, love will truly take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit.

Indeed, everyone is an independent soul, eager to be accepted and respected. Relying on the new generation of 5G+ technology can help alleviate these problems.

Everything has its pros and cons. If the ability of "mind reading" really exists in the future, will it have a negative impact on us?

For example, the vampires in the movie "The Vampire Diaries" who can "read other people's inner thoughts and manipulate other people's emotions" have seen the dark side of human nature. Can they love someone better? Just like the vampire Stefan, he finally fell in love with Elena, who was unpredictable to him. Some people are more interested in unknown things.

03 How to cope with the arrival of the 5G era and work and live better

The development of things has two sides. While it brings opportunities and challenges, it also brings more uncertainties. During the epidemic, the use of contactless logistics distribution and drone automatic sorting equipment not only greatly reduced cross-infection among personnel, but also effectively improved logistics efficiency.

But at the same time, it also brings anxiety to some logistics practitioners. The extensive application of smart logistics is an indisputable fact in the future and a general trend. So where will so many express delivery practitioners go?

In response to this, SF Express opened a drone driving training school to help express delivery workers achieve self-transformation and upgrading. It can be seen that keeping up with the trend of the times, changing thinking and breaking the fear of the unknown are undoubtedly the key factors for breaking through self-development.

So, how should we respond to the upcoming 5G technology for better work and life? In my opinion, we can work on the following three aspects.

① Break the rigid and self-contained thinking, improve self-awareness, progress with the times, and realize your own value.

② Work hard to learn new knowledge and skills related to your industry and achieve self-transformation.

③ Look at everything from a broad perspective, adapt to the trend of the times, and respond to ever-changing situations with constancy.

It is true that adults face great mental and life pressures. Most of them have elderly parents and young children to take care of. They need to work during the day to earn money to support their families, and take care of trivial household chores at night. However, with the help of big data, artificial intelligence and 5G+ technology, it is entirely possible to develop a series of smart devices for family services in the future to alleviate adults' anxiety.

For example, if intelligent robots can help with housework, take care of children, and balance the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they can greatly reduce the physical and mental burden of full-time mothers, allowing couples to have more time and energy to pursue their own ideals in life.

For example, working from home not only provides workers with more freedom and time, but also greatly reduces the separation rate between couples, which is the second biggest killer of marriage breakdown.

For example, the emergence of smart education allows children to learn through entertainment and effectively improves their learning efficiency. Parents no longer need to worry about helping their children with their homework.

If artificial intelligence robots that provide family services become popular in thousands of households, problems such as housework, child education, and family relationship conflicts can be effectively solved. As people's sense of happiness increases, the divorce rate will naturally decrease, and society will become more and more harmonious.

This kind of high-cost innovative new technology may seem unrealistic and out of reach, but it is actually a major trend of the times. We still have to have a vision for the future, what if it comes true?
