With technology speeding up, more and more young people begin to use mobile
phones and the Internet, but old people have little chance to be exposed to
them. What ways could mobile phone and the Internet is useful to old people? How
do old people be encouraged to use this new technology?
范文：
It is obvious that advanced technologies such as cellular phones or the net
not only bring a lot of fun to youngsters who are always passionate to novel
things, but also have an important effect on the life of senior citizens who
would like to keep the pace of the age.
Today, mobile phones are increasingly popular with old people. Unlike young
people who fancy playing games or taking photos with phones, they seem to be
most interested in their most basic function – communication. It is easily found
that keeping in touch by mobiles with their children who live independently or
study overseas has become a necessary thing in their routines. Plus, if some of
old people feel physically uncomfortable or get in danger outdoors and alone,
they immediately make an emergency call or inform . their relatives or friends
using mobile phones.
The Internet is equally important with mobile phone in old people’s life
now. Apparently, some elderly tend to surf on Internet, studying something that
they are fascinated with such as calligraphy , painting and so forth; some like
to meet new people online or chat with their friends by tools available on
Internet such as MSN or OICQ; others become accustomed to shopping online or
running their own small businesses by E-bay.
However, I must confess that some old people are afraid to try new
technologies probably because they do not yet have understood or experienced
them. In avoid of this, they should be encouraged to take part in some
activities that are held in their community with the aim of educating them about
how to use or see the new technologies. In the meanwhile , they are really
supposed to be a bit more confident. |
