Psychologists call this digital nostalgia — a longing for a time when our digital lives felt simpler and more contained. Much like the comeback of CDs and Walkmans, it's less about the old tech itself and more about the purity of "one device, one purpose", and without work constantly intruding.
这种集体怀旧，心理学上称为“数字怀旧”（Digital Nostalgia）。简单来说，我们怀念着通过微信看到的更有边界的自己和生活。

From QQ's offline "memos" to today's all-in-one super app, WeChat has become a daily essential. But as it evolved, the fun of chatting gradually gave way to the stress of being "always online" for work.
So, the joke about shifting from "WeChat begging me to join" to "me begging to log off" really points to a bigger question: How do we draw boundaries in a digital world that never seems to clock out?
从QQ的离线“备忘录”到如今的“全能App"，微信愈发成为我们生活的一部分。然而，新的困扰也随之产生——聊天沟通的社交快乐似乎正被“永远在线”的工作疲惫所取代。
从“求着我上线”到“求它放我下班”，这波怀旧热潮的背后还有很多值得我们去思考。
