As human civilization continues to move forward, every epoch-making progress is mixed with the jumping development of information technology and technological changes.
Starting from steam engine , humans have entered the driving era, but there has never been a mobile information exchange device that can be carried with you to help humans solve the problem of real-time communication across regions.
Until April 3, 1973, the mobile phone invented by American Cooper, , and since then, humans solved this problem.
However, if some people are very busy when making a call, they may not be able to receive the call or are inconvenient to answer the call, and it is urgently necessary to realize a communication function of text messages on the mobile phone.
December 3, 1992, British Vodafone software engineer Neil sent a blessing to his senior management with only fifteen letters. Merry Christmas. It is the advent of this text message that opened a new chapter of human communication.
On December 21, 2021, the text message was auctioned for RMB 1.43 million, and all the auction funds were used to rescue refugees.
sky-high SMS
mobile phone did not solve the problem of text communication in the twenty years after its birth. Until Neil sent a text message to his executives with a computer, began to communicate with this epoch-making and influential, and achieved in-depth communication.
After this time, the SMS communication function between mobile phones was officially launched. Human beings have overcome difficulties on the road of development and achieved their own development.
The world's first text message sent a huge rock to the information age, causing an earthquake in the industry. The communications industry at the beginning caused a brainstorm in the communications industry, and the storm hit and swept the technological elites in this system. 's SMS function is still widely used today.
However, with the world's first text message selling at 1.43 million yuan, the sky-high text message of Vodafone in this auction attracted the attention of the world.
In fact, this is a charity sale. The British Vodafone communications giant can kill two birds with one stone through this charity sale. Not only donated 1.43 million to the United Nations Refugee Agency, but also advertised to its own company, which also triggered the world's thinking about refugees.
Many people of different skin colors have begun to pay attention to the story behind this text message. It was originally considered a sky-high virtual auction, but this is not the case.
is the charity sale of this text message. has attracted the attention of people around the world to refugees, and it is precisely this message that is priceless.
This text message with only fifteen letters is not valuable and has no market profit. The high price is also the attraction of the charity elements contained in this auction itself to bidders.
As a Fortune 500 multinational enterprise in the world, Vodafone has millions of employees and hundreds of billions of sales. This charity sale attracted the attention of the world.
This time, they donated all the proceeds from the auction to more than 80 million homeless refugees under the United Nations Refugee Agency. Such a huge refugee has attracted the attention of the world. On December 21, 2021, after the charity sale of Vodafone ended, all the funds were transferred to the United Nations Refugee Agency.
But only half a year has passed, On May 23 this year, the United Nations Refugee Agency announced the total number of 100 million refugees to the world.
With the decline of global economy , conflicts and impulses at home and abroad have increased sharply, and the number of hot conflict areas is also increasing. The conflicts in the climbing areas have caused great pain to those who are homeless and have difficulty in returning home.
The number of refugees is high
With the increasing number of regional conflicts, the wave of refugees has increased, and refugees who cannot settle down on the broken walls and ruins have begun to wander around. They don’t know what will happen in the next second, nor do they know if they will be able to live tomorrow. They began to flee from the home they lived in groups.
Hot conflict areas often show the conflict pattern, which has also led to the formation of regional conflict tug-of-war, and the wave of refugees has begun to appear.
Not only can the residents of the war zone be unable to continue living, but areas near the war zone have also begun to leave their residences and pack their bags and leave their hometowns because of the threat of survival.
In recent years, hot conflicts have occurred frequently, not only reflected in conflicts between countries, but even conflicts within some countries have begun to break out in many countries around the world. A large number of refugees have been forced to flee their homes. They have left their hometowns and opened the road to refugees who are uncertain about their lives and death.
Although the United Nations Refugee Agency often raises funds through various means to purchase essential goods for these refugees, the sharp increase in the number of refugees is just a drop in the bucket compared to the funds raised by the United Nations.
Straws that crush humans
If the number of refugees continues to grow, then what destroys humans is not the prehistoric tsunami caused by the collision of planets and the melting of glaciers on both poles, but the trauma caused by wars and regional conflicts. not only can the economy not recover, but the people are displaced, and social resources will also be extremely exhausted.
However, this problem has not been fully resolved for a long time. Under the main theme of peace, which is longed for by the world, conflicts in various places are still escalating. The bloodshed caused by each conflict has been gradually faded by the parties to the conflict, and the right to life is also implied.
As the time of regional conflicts prolongs, many enlightened people have begun large-scale anti-war parades. Although these did not fundamentally solve the problem, it awakened the resonance of many peace-loving people.
I believe that in the near future, more and more peace-loving people will begin to shout anti-war with a larger number of people, shake the soldiers fighting on the line of life and death, and resolve problems and disputes in a peaceful way.
If human refugees continue to grow on the base of 100 million, the mortality rate will grow rapidly, and humans will eventually face the most serious death crisis.
means that humans want to handle and resolve hot issues peacefully, and it may be too late by then. Therefore, the United Nations Refugee Agency has repeatedly sent red flags to the world, hoping that countries can reasonably control differences and avoid conflicts, so as to prevent the rapid increase in refugees.
summary
The auction of the world's first text message by Vodafone Communications Company in the UK, the auction proceeds of 1.43 million were donated to the United Nations Refugee Agency. At that time, the number of refugees had reached more than 80 million.
surprised the world with surprise at the number of refugees, but in just half a year, this number has reached an astonishing number of 100 million, making the world feel the importance of peace.
Vodafone's donation this time is a drop in the bucket for 80 million refugees, but this charity sale has attracted the attention of the world to the refugee wave under the incident.
has also aroused strong anti-war sentiment among peace-loving people around the world. After the charity sale, more and more donations were transferred to the UNHCR, but for the rapidly growing number of refugees, these are dropping drops.
