There are pros and cons to not being tech savvy for seniors. The advantage is that they can avoid some of the network fraud, life will not be addicted to the network; the disadvantage is that do not understand the technology will bring inconvenience to life, and even a kind of society out of the feeling.
A few days ago, brush the news to see an interesting report. It happened in Wuhan Dongxin, specifically this: Dongxin's Granny Li received a fraudulent phone call, fraudsters claimed to be the police, and asked Granny Li to transfer money. Because Granny Li does not know how to transfer money on WeChat, the two were on the phone for three hours, and the money could not be transferred. This situation was later monitored by the local police station, which intervened in time to make the scam a complete failure.
Mother-in-law Li told the police: "He has not let me hang up the phone, and even opened his mouth to threaten, but I really do not know how to use WeChat, but also has been scolding me stupid." As a melon masses, sounds and feel hateful and funny. Hateful is the fraud peddler's abominable behavior, funny is that he chose the wrong object, spent three hours to teach Granny Li learn to transfer money, the other side still will not.
From this incident, we can also see that sometimes the elderly do not understand "technology" is also a good thing. After all, now the network fraud means endless, the elderly and do not quite understand this aspect, it is easy to be cheated. The first thing you need to do is to get a good understanding of how to use the internet to make sure that you have a good understanding of how to use the internet to make sure that you have a good understanding of how to use the internet.
In addition to a certain degree of detachment from the network, but also allows the elderly more back to real life. Since my neighbor's aunt learned to shop online and shoot jitterbugs, her life has been dominated by these two things, and she doesn't cook, doesn't dance, and dislikes her partner, so the family is in discord.
But a complete lack of internet savvy can also inconvenience life and lead to some unnecessary trouble. My grandma and grandpa have always lived in the countryside, and for them, there are only crops in their eyes, and they couldn't even make a phone call before. Once my grandma and grandpa got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and fell down, and my grandma found out and went to call someone in a panic. But because of the remoteness, it took more than an hour to call someone, and then asked others to find a car, and it took more than 3 hours to get to the county hospital for treatment. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to!
That night, I drove my mom to visit my grandpa, and my mom said a few words about my grandma, complaining that she bought a cell phone for her and didn't know how to use it. Then I pulled my mom over and said that it was fine, and that the grandma was blaming herself, so don't go there again.
In fact, calling the phone is no big deal for us youngsters, but for some of the older people living in the countryside, it's "technology and hard work" because they don't even know the Arabic numerals from one to ten. So from this level, do not understand the "technology" in this society is really inconvenient, I every time to give the grandma and grandpa point of money have to run back to a trip or trust someone to bring them, after all, they will not WeChat.
So, there are advantages and disadvantages to not knowing how to use "technology" for the elderly. Technology can bring people quality of life, but technology can not determine the happiness of people.
