Recently, a video of "the old man was blocked by the staff because he didn't have a health code when taking the subway" became popular on the Internet. Dalian Metro responded yesterday that it was right for the subway staff to strengthen management, but the working methods were improper. The service for special groups was not in place. "For the elderly who cannot use health codes, we should take various ways to help the elderly take the subway". (Xinhua Daily Telegraph on August 10)
Seeing this news, the author couldn't help saying: Teaching the elderly to learn to use smart phones is the best salute for the elderly!
Teaching the elderly to use smart phones is not only the duty of filial piety, but also an urgent task. Especially in the "Internet+" era, while young people enjoy various conveniences in the intelligent era, a large number of new things block out the elderly with poor receptivity and learning ability.
Today, when the Internet is deeply embedded in daily life, some elderly people who do not use smart phones have become vulnerable groups in a sense and are marginalized. Can't use WeChat, can't send red packets, can't use navigation, can't pay on the move, can't find the flashlight in the mobile phone... Things that are easy for young people are especially difficult for some old people.
Not using smart phones, a social tool with a "sense of the times", means that the social connection between the elderly and the outside world is not so efficient and smooth, which means they are "out of touch" with the times. Science and technology are inexorably changing life. When the younger generation is following the trend of science and technology, please be sure to pay attention to the elderly relatives around them. Just like when we were young, they taught us something, so that the elderly can better integrate into the Internet era and enjoy the new era and new life together. For example, Sang, a sophomore student in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, taught her grandmother how to use WeChat through the manual drawing of WeChat. Zhengzhou Sang's "digital feedback" to the elderly is worth learning for young people.
Now the living conditions are good, and the old people don't worry about food or clothing. But not using smart phones has become a worry for the elderly. It is incumbent upon young people to keep pace with the intelligent era and share scientific and technological dividends. It is expected that the younger generation should not "bow down" when getting along with the older generation in the summer vacation. When they are "teachers", they should teach the elderly to use smart phones and give them a gift they most need! (Wang Hongfeng)
