What do you mean, the electronic patina is green?

The electronic package is green, and you panic. It describes that the expression package is forwarded and compressed many times, which leads to green. The story originated from one of the largest ACG forums on the Chinese Internet. The last topic of Stage1 was relatively small, but it was not the first time that it was discussed: Why are emoticons with blurred picture quality more popular? A netizen explained that the fuzziness and noise on the expression pack came from the repeated downloading and uploading of these images, which was a trace of use and a classic proof of the expression pack.

Electronic packaging in the context of the Internet is also divided into different forms. According to netizens' summary, the traces caused by repeatedly uploading and downloading an expression pack are different because of the different technologies of websites and their compressed images: repeated uploading and downloading on Baidu Post Bar will make the pictures appear green noise; These mosaics and color changes have a particularly hard core in the field of emoticon collection, and are full of Cyberpunk style names-electronic patina.

patina is a technical term in antique industry, which refers to a shiny oxide layer formed on the surface of cultural relics due to long-term oxidation. For a collectible, the longer it is, the thicker the patina is on its surface, which is a witness to the prolonged friction of the players, the erosion of air and dust, and the accumulation of hundreds of years.

where did the electronic patina come from?

Lao Wang said that he first heard the concept of electronic patina at stage1, a well-known forum on house science. He believes that this statement is a good summary of the criteria for the collection of expression packs.

There was a foreigner who uploaded a photo of a foreign grandfather to Instagram and then downloaded it to his mobile phone. After repeated operations for 1 times, it began to paste, but after repeated operations for 9 times, it is estimated that even the foreign grandfather could not recognize him.

Therefore, the wider and longer the spread of expression packs on the Internet, the higher the distortion of pictures in terms of accuracy and color, which is called electronic packaging.

In other words, an emoticon bag with electronic wrapping is a classic symbol, and such an emoticon bag has collection and circulation value.
