ways, eating times and foods. As long as you are in a modern city, the streets are filled with restaurants serving foods from different nations and working at different times. It enables people to choose eating French brunch in the morning, British afternoon tea for break and Chinese local cuisine for dinner within a single day. If you don’t want to leave home, you can even order food online to meet your needs, thanks to the creation of various applications.

However

, when I was trying to choose delivered food, I always spent a lot of time choosing what to eat, since there are hundreds of options showed in the applications waiting for me to select from. When it comes to entertainment, the choices became even more. Take

In conclusion, having too many of them is good, but we should have a correct view of them and not let ourselves go astray.
