  With the development of information technology, digital and intelligent applications are becoming more and more common.

Today, the "digital Chinese New Year" is changing the traditional way of celebrating the holiday.

During the Spring Festival, among the many "post-80s", "post-90s" and "post-00s" figures who gave out red envelopes, many "silver-haired people" also joined in, opening the sense of Spring Festival ceremony in the digital age.

  In the rapidly evolving digital age, faced with endless new applications, new platforms, and new technologies, many "silver-haired people" are caught in the dilemma of "electronic barriers" because they do not know how to use smartphones or do not understand various intelligent services. I often encounter inconveniences in life.

  In 2020, the General Office of the State Council of China issued the "Implementation Plan on Practically Solving the Difficulties of the Elderly in Using Intelligent Technology" to further promote the solution of the difficulties encountered by the elderly in the use of intelligent technology.

  Examine the current situation, focus on the real life needs of the "silver-haired people" in the information age, develop a series of intelligent technology education courses in many places, promote the use of information technology in the elderly, improve the ability of the elderly to use intelligent technology, and enjoy the benefits of intelligent services The convenience.

  "The most difficult part of the course is that each student has a different foundation." Tu Qiqiong is a teacher of the "Wisdom Helping the Elderly" course at Ningbo Open University for the Elderly. In her opinion, in recent years, more and more elderly people have taken the initiative to join wisdom. Classroom learning related skills, "Facing these students who are not on the starting line, we start with basic knowledge, such as convenient applications on mobile phones."

  Sang Yongmin said that a simple mobile phone can complete many functions such as navigation, registration, and taxi. "You can also buy tickets for the Spring Festival movie. There are too many things to learn. After learning, I feel a sense of accomplishment."

  Indeed, a mobile phone with a big palm carries the thick temperature of the fingertips, and it is also a wonderful epitome of the digital age.

  "Before the class, I thought mobile phones were quite mysterious. After I learned it, I found out that it was actually like that." Wang Meijuan, a citizen of Ningbo, Zhejiang, born in 1953, learned the smart functions of mobile phones through the Ningbo Open University for the Elderly in 2018. .

  Wang Meijuan bluntly said that the "silver-haired people" have a high sense of awe for the power of science and technology in unknown fields. "For example, I have also had the panic of being eliminated by the times, but it is not difficult. In the era of digital intelligence, only better integration can be achieved. Better eliminate age barriers."

  Wang Meijuan took this Spring Festival as an example. In addition to giving out red envelopes to narrow the distance with the children, she can also "cloud reunite" with her younger brother in the United States. "You can communicate face-to-face with one video, which is very convenient."

  "Silver-haired people" have no shortage of "trend people".

Dyeing hair, changing mobile phones, doing beauty... "Post-60s" Li Caiyun is a villager in Langjia'ao Village, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. He is also a "trend person" who dares to try new things. A curiosity, I learned to use a smart phone under the leadership of a child. During the Spring Festival, it is very interesting to send red envelopes, follow dramas, and watch the news.” (End)
