  2. New Media Technology: 微信小程序

    Principles:
    Coevolution and coexistence:
    微信小程序与微信存在着共生与共同演化进步的关系。微信小程序寄存在微信上,是微信的一个新功能和进步,丰富了微信的作用。同时,小程序搭载在微信这个用户普遍都有的APP上,可以方便它自己被使用。

    Metamorphosis:
    小程序是一种不需要下载安装即可在微信上使用的应用。也就是原来需要在应用商店下载的应用可以直接在微信上添加。比如说微信有了“腾讯视频”,“大众点评”这些小程序,它们是原先应用在微信上的变体,微信是这些应用的新载体。
    Propagation:
    原来应用的主要功能,设计都被现在的微信小程序保留了,比如滴滴打车小程序保留了它最重要的叫车功能。
    Opportunity and need:
    由于目前不少用户手机储存空间不足,所以小程序的推出可以节省原先应用程序占据大量内存的情况。同时现在许多用户希望一个APP可以完成多种功能,微信小程序帮助微信集结了多种应用的功能。
    Delayed adoption:
    目前小程序的种类和功能还较少,它还处于起步阶段,不少用户还比较依赖原先的应用使用方式,小程序的推广需要一段时间被用户接受。
