Mr. Ma, a citizen, said that he had repeatedly advised his father to play less on his mobile phone, but all of them were deceived.

Behind the "Internet addiction elderly" is loneliness

　　Internet addiction was once a problem among young people, but now why do you find silver-haired people?

In addition, the elderly also have special social needs for mobile phones.

　　"After some elderly people retire, the number of people around them will decrease, and they will easily fall into the emptiness and loneliness of the spiritual world, but psychologically they still desire interpersonal communication." Wei Junping said, for middle-aged and elderly people, playing mobile games Can kill a lot of leisure time most.

Some elderly people find many old friends through WeChat. Private chats, group chats, sharing pictures and articles in WeChat have attracted the attention of many middle-aged and elderly people.

Even the "like" in the circle of friends has become a way for them to find a sense of existence.

Using vibrato and shooting short videos also satisfied the curiosity and desire of old people to explore like children.
