internet cafe is short for network+coffee shop, and it is usually called Netcafe,Internet? Cafe。 In China, it is called an Internet cafe. ? Internet cafes, which have been popular in Europe and America for many years, were originally designed to provide a comfortable and fast internet environment for business people. However, when Internet cafes came to Taiwan Province, they developed into an Internet cafe culture with teenagers as its main customers.

1, budding stage: budding stage-the number of Internet cafes is small, which has not yet become a significant issue in economy or society: in the 1991s, the Internet just sprouted in Taiwan Province, and Internet cafes also appeared. Only when the network infrastructure is not yet complete, limited by the bandwidth and most of the network users are business people or people with higher education, therefore, most of the internet cafes at this stage only provide basic internet services such as information browsing and information inquiry, including using the World Wide Web (WWW) and electronic Bulletin boards (bulletin boards? Board? System, BBS), Newsgroup, etc.

2, the development period: the rapid development of Internet cafes, accompanied by social problems, triggered discussion from all walks of life. In the late 1991s, Internet cafes mushroomed and developed rapidly. Besides the government's vigorous promotion of network infrastructure, the biggest reason behind it was the rise of online games. At this stage, most Internet cafes will provide quite a variety of online games in addition to basic Internet services. Therefore, in a short period of time, they will attract the attention of many young people and become the most popular leisure place for young people after MTV and KTV, and even more implicitly form a new youth subculture. However. The accompanying social issues have also become the focus of endless debates among the government, families and teenagers.

3. Maturity: Up to now, the standardized Internet cafes have become places for leisure activities of all social classes and ages. For example, in addition to providing Internet access and catering services, Wangyu Internet Cafe has also independently developed professional online game-related hardware and software, upgraded it layer by layer, and cooperated with upstream manufacturers in depth to hold international e-sports events, gradually developing into the largest interactive platform for national e-sports in China.
