To help the "Internet addiction elderly", there is no need to call the APP "Old Age Mode" at every turn
Caring for the elderly, might as well start by helping them to quit the "Internet addiction".
Recently, a screenshot uploaded by some netizens has caused widespread heated discussion. The screenshot shows an old lady in sixties who actually used Zhao Yun to take the "5 kills" at 3 o'clock in the morning.
If it's really an old lady playing games online in the early morning, it's really a bit of a brainstorm.
However, today in 2021, such things may not necessarily be reflected in reality.
For example, some media reported such a story: at 1:00 in the morning, a faint light leaked from the bedroom door, and Sun Yiran knew that his 62-year-old mother Wang Guifen was hiding under the covers and making short videos.
I stopped dancing in the square dance, and stopped shopping in the commercial street. I picked up my phone as soon as I was fine. My eyes were bad, and I didn't turn on the lights when I played with the phone.
"Internet addiction elderly" is really not a legend.
Statistics from the "2020 Elderly Internet Life Report" show that elderly users over the age of 60 spend an average of 64.8 minutes a day, and even 0.19% of the elderly are online for more than 10 hours a day.
With the “ageing” transformation of the Internet, the use of online platforms, the squeezing of entertainment time in daily life, and the tendency of social networking to become networked-more and more elderly people will be proficient in using smart devices to bring convenience, It also makes some old people addicted to it.
Internet addiction is certainly not a child's patent.
With the increase of elderly users and easier access to the Internet, "Internet addicted elderly" have also emerged.
Internet addiction is not something that can be solved by self-discipline alone.
At this time, of course, we must provide the convenience of hardware infrastructure for the elderly to surf the Internet, and provide the development and application scenarios for the "suitable for the elderly" software. Of merchants have moved to the APP battlefield, focusing exclusively on "elderly traffic" to monetize.
A child complained, "I uninstalled Qutoutiao, Pinduoduo, and Douyin. She (mother) sneaked to the business hall to find someone to help download it."
As a result, voices began to call for the "old age mode" of APP.
If you really want to ask the "elderly people with internet addiction", you can't just stare at the level of network governance.
Obviously, for more elderly people, if there is something to do in their family life, how can they indulge in the virtual world and linger?
As far as society is concerned, it is not impossible to let the elderly have something to do and have fun in the old age, and it is not impossible to leave the mobile phone that has just been used. The charm of music may be far greater than that of games.
Caring for the elderly, might as well start by helping them to quit the "Internet addiction".
