Is the "smart age" really friendly to the elderly?

No. It's fine for seniors to play around with voice and video, but the smart age is more about mobile payments and doing things online. You need to make an appointment to go to the hospital, and you need to pay by cell phone to buy something. It's inevitable that responses get slower and slower as you get older. An elderly colleague of mine is more cautious, online shopping tied to a special card, which puts just a few hundred dollars in it, and then transfer it in when it runs out. This will inevitably have to use the Internet banking or ATM, Internet banking login and transfer password he always asked me to help him lose, because the virtual keyboard of the phone is too small for him. His eyes are blurred and his hands are shaky, so he presses it several times and makes several mistakes. When he goes to the ATM, he always asks me to help him, not that he doesn't know how to operate it, but the ATM is already counting down before he can finish reading the above text and proceed to the next operation. He's had his card swallowed because of this. To be honest, I really don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, because if I lose my card or have it stolen, I'm the most suspicious. But he really had no choice. As for going to the hospital, some diseases can be planned in advance, online registration children can also help, but if it is sudden, such as headache, headache, fever, or blood pressure is a little high, temporarily want to go to the hospital, the elderly feel a little sick do not want to bother the children to take time off work to go on their own. But no appointment, the nurse let go to the self-service machine on-site registration, which is blind. Some introverted elderly people are too embarrassed to ask for help from strangers, half a day of wandering around and finally did not see a doctor and go back. Appointment booking seems to be convenient, but in fact, it is not humanized. Because a lot of things can pop up unplanned. For example, if an elderly person feels that he has lost his appetite recently, he makes an appointment for the next day. But the next day it is raining heavily and it is not safe for the elderly to travel, but if they have already made an appointment, they have to go, and if they don't go, they will be blacklisted. These are the ones I have seen around me, and there are countless examples.
