From mobile payment to scanning code to going out, from * * * enjoying a bicycle to * * * enjoying a charging treasure, we can see that many things that are at the forefront of popular science and technology originate from the group of "young people". Young people of the "digital generation" are familiar with the use of digital technology and swim in the Internet age. Technology companies have won a lot of benefits because they focus on bringing quality service experience to young people. At the same time, many elderly people in China are helpless in the face of the digital divide because they are divorced from scientific and technological products.
Although, at present, many units have begun to pay attention to the digital needs of the elderly, and put forward that while using digital technology to speed up the work progress, traditional manual services should be retained to provide the elderly with a "green digital channel" without codes. However, the key to solve the problem is not to maintain the original service model, but to introduce a new technical service model that can be used by the elderly, so as to break through the digital barrier for the elderly and let them enjoy the convenience brought by digital life.
The ancients said: "It is impossible to surpass the North Sea by Mount Tai, so it must be;" Breaking branches for old people is not for it. "It is not difficult to solve the housing needs of the elderly with scientific and technological innovation, but it is not strong enough. We can't always let old people learn to use young people's scientific and technological products. When young people begin to learn to use the scientific and technological products of the elderly and are eager for them. Scientific and technological innovation can be regarded as "loving the old and loving the young".
Some experts predict: "From 20 14 to 2050, the consumption potential of the elderly population in China will increase from about 4 trillion yuan to about 106 trillion yuan, and the proportion of GDP will increase from 8% to 33%." As we all know, scientific and technological innovation should benefit most people, regardless of age, gender and identity background. But in fact, technological innovation also has its driving force of consumption. In the aging era, technological innovation can also create outstanding achievements in serving the elderly.
In this regard, it is still necessary to encourage technology companies to continue to exert their efforts in launching products aimed at the elderly. On the one hand, it is necessary to dig deep into the needs of the elderly for scientific and technological products and dispel the fog of corporate profit demand; On the other hand, it is necessary to provide necessary policy support and material support, so that technology enterprises focusing on serving the elderly can clear the development obstacles.
