A
Are you always looking at your mobile phone as you’re walking, playing with it as you’re
studying, and reluctant to put it down as you go to bed? Tired of a life controlled by their mobile
phones, many young people seem to be intent on working out how to overcome it.
One of the popular gadgets is the mobile phone isolation box. Users simply put their mobile
phone in the box and set a time lock that will ban them from having access to the phone for a set time.
Some boxes allow users to respond to emergencies. These isolation boxes can be adapted to almost all
types of mobile phones on the market. The locking time generally ranges from one minute to 12 hours,
and the price is generally about 100—200 yuan. Xianfeng Technology, one of the sellers on Taobao
says, “Our main customers are students and office workers. They usually ask for engraving some
inspirational quotes on the box when buying. Some parents who feel their children are wasting time on
Douyin and ruining their studies are also buying them. This physical box is much better than software
on phones.” Xianfeng’s after-sales comment section is fi lled with positive comment from buyers who
say the box has helped them become more self-disciplined.
However, Lin Tianqi, a college student says, because the lock time is set by users, whether they
can achieve their goal depends on the individual. A fi ve-hour lockup is too harsh, she says, but one of
her friends locks the box for just 30 minutes, she seems to cheat herself. Liang Wenyu, another college
student, sneers at these “fl ashy” attempts. “Regardless of the effectiveness of the isolation box, you
might as well lock yourself up. As simple as that,” he says. “I can understand why they need these
blood pumping quotes on the box—because they lack discipline. How about simply taking back your
time. Self-disciplined people are bound to succeed without such gimmicks.”
