When I got home, my mother became more and more angry, thinking that the stall owner had deliberately humiliated her.
To tell the truth, I was going to buy my mother a smart phone, but she is not too old, just in her early 60 s, but she never accepts new things. Even the old machine she is using now, I have worked hard to teach her to answer the phone, and she still doesn't know how to send and receive text messages.
Therefore, the mother who still lives in the primitive society obviously does not adapt to the intelligent society now. She can't travel alone, because she won't book a ticket or scan the health code with her mobile phone. She can't vacuum cleaners and sweeping robots, and cleaning depends entirely on manpower; The smart TV at home is also very laborious for her to use, and she can't find her own program at all.
Although everyone thinks that technology has made life better, whether it is online shopping, take-away, taking a taxi, medical treatment, financial management, and grocery shopping, intelligent applications have provided us with a lot of convenience.
However, many old people fail to enjoy the convenience brought by intelligence, just like their mothers, they encounter many inconveniences. The common reasons are that they can't operate, they are worried about the high cost of surfing the Internet, the complicated use procedures and unclear words.
In fact, sometimes I get angry, blaming my mother for not loving learning and not keeping pace with the times. She really has a deep-rooted mode of thinking and hates change. But when you think about it, many smart products are designed without considering the needs of the elderly.
For example, smart phones, the elderly are both love and fear. Compared with mom, dad is more willing to use social tools such as WeChat, but he still can't control all kinds of complicated functions of smart phones, especially after he doesn't know what is delayed and is charged.
Few elderly people can skillfully use smart products. Even if there is, there is a lack of safety awareness in terms of funds. It is easy to click into some small programs that cost money, and it is also easy to be confused by the endless traps on the Internet. The probability of being cheated is very high.
When I came home from work, my father carefully told me by mobile phone that the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents began to pay today. He fiddled with it for a long time, but still didn't know how to operate it. He asked me to help pay the bill and give me cash later.
In the face of my father who was at a loss in the face of high technology, I suddenly felt a lot. When I was a child, I regarded my parents as mountains and always felt that they could be relied on indefinitely. As a result, I have grown up and experienced many ups and downs outside. I began to look down on my elderly parents and became extremely impatient with their various questions.
Now that parents are old, as children, we should patiently teach them to learn new things so that they can enjoy a convenient life and keep up with the times. It is the best filial piety not to let parents be abandoned by the times.
