Whether walking, cycling, eating or resting, they all hold their mobile phones with their heads down; I can't take care of cooking, and I don't sleep in the middle of the night to brush Tik Tok；; The first thing in the morning is to brush the WeChat circle of friends ... Nowadays, more and more elderly people have become "low-headed people with silver hair". Recently, the reporter learned that once the old people retire, if they don't have too many hobbies, plus their children and grandchildren go to work and go to school, most of the rest of the time is boring, and brushing their mobile phones has become a substitute for killing time.
The old man said:
Learn new knowledge and expand your circle of friends.
On September 4th, the reporter visited the People's Park in Nanning, Guangxi, and found that the old people who used to be keen on singing, dancing and playing erhu in the park are now playing with their heads down. Aunt Huang, a citizen who retired a few years ago, said that her daughter is usually busy at work. Since her grandson and granddaughter went to elementary school and kindergarten, they have more free time. Therefore, before going to bed every morning and night, one of her favorite things is to brush small videos on Tik Tok to learn new things. From mobile phone brushing to funny clips, her mood is also relaxed.
In Nanhu, many old people play mobile phones while walking.
"Life after retirement is very boring, and it will be very tiring to have children to chat with every day. I just want to chat with my friends online and learn about some social developments. " Mr. Wei, 65, believes that young people like to play mobile phones now and want to keep pace with the times. After learning to play smart phones, he can not only kill boring time, but also learn new knowledge, expand his circle of friends and learn to shop online, which brings a lot of convenience to his life.
In public places such as buses, subways and squares. Old people who bow their heads to play mobile phones can be seen everywhere. Aunt Zhang felt bored after retirement. After learning to play smart phones with her son, she now spends several hours browsing current events, news information and watching TV dramas on her mobile phone every day. She admits that although she has become a "low-headed family" now, she has indeed learned new knowledge through her mobile phone, expanded her circle of friends, communicated with others and enriched her retirement life.
Some old people sit and play with their mobile phones, while others lie down and play.
Some old people think that playing mobile phones can enhance family ties with their children and reduce loneliness. Through mobile video, although I am not in the same city as my children, I can make video calls every week to make my old age less lonely.
The child said:
Play with things, lack judgment
Parents are addicted to playing mobile phones. What do their children think? Mr. He, a citizen who lives in Nanning East Road, said that since he downloaded the game software for playing mahjong for his mother and taught her how to play games with his mobile phone, her mother often likes playing cards and is more addicted than young people. Sometimes she can't eat and even stay up late at night. Because he was worried that his mother's staying up late for a long time was not good for his health, he repeatedly advised his mother to go to bed early, but when he said that there were too many old people, he was unhappy.
Old people brush Tik Tok at home and play landlords.
Mr. Wei also bluntly said that since his mother became addicted to playing mobile phones, the pace of life at home has been disrupted. Sometimes they are busy at work and want their mother to help them cook. As a result, the old man was still angry with him. After the old people are addicted to playing mobile phones, they don't care so much about taking care of their grandchildren.
Ms. Wang's mother, who lives in Jinyuan City Community of Nanning, used her smartphone very early. Ms. Wang's mother is very concerned about health. The compulsory course every day is to browse health care knowledge on her mobile phone. Once, my mother saw someone selling health care products in a circle of friends, and there were many discounts and gifts for the effects mentioned in the publicity. She bought more than 3,000 pieces of health care products at once, and after using them for a while, she felt that there was no effect of business promotion. She asked for a refund, but was refused.
Some citizens also said that the elderly at home sometimes make small troubles for businesses, blindly forward all kinds of health posts and chicken soup for the soul because of lack of judgment, and sometimes believe all kinds of fabricated "inside information".
Experts say:
We should explore the community pension model.
In fact, more and more elderly people have become "low-headed people with silver hair", which to some extent reflects the "absence" of children and family members' care for the elderly, which may make the elderly rely on the Internet. Sociologist Xie analyzed that work is our very important spiritual pillar. After the old people retire, quitting their jobs is equivalent to losing a great dependence. With more free time, the lack of spiritual support will make the elderly feel insecure, and their psychology will change. They will hope that their relatives will spend more time with themselves and enhance their sense of security.
"The elderly need family to accompany them, and their relatives need to work. This is a thorny social contradiction. Some relatives work in other places, while others like to stay in their familiar environment. For their sense of security, they are unwilling to integrate into their children's living environment, which makes it difficult for their loved ones to accompany them. " Xie believes that at this time, the mobile phone with communication function has become a tool for the spiritual sustenance of the elderly. It is not only convenient to contact with children, but also needs to watch news and communicate with other elderly people in the group, so as not to be out of touch with society and pursue fashion. Young people like to play mobile phones, and it is a normal demand for the elderly to play mobile phones. This is not a bad thing. What we need to think about more is how to solve social contradictions.
Xie suggested that the elderly will feel empty when they have more time, and their children can help them develop hobbies, such as singing and practicing calligraphy. Some state-owned units have special departments such as veteran cadres' offices or departments, and usually organize retired employees to carry out collective activities to help retired employees enrich their spare time. However, there are still many elderly people in society who are left unattended. From the social point of view, it is necessary to advocate the mode of providing for the aged in the community. The community can play the role of the office or the department of veteran cadres, and clubs, clubs or chess rooms can be set up in the community to organize recreational activities for the elderly and help them enrich their cultural life.
An old man who works out in Nanhu.
Xie believes that the community office space in Nanning is relatively small, and it is difficult to realize it except that there are almost no entertainment places in the office. He pointed out that it is the responsibility of society to develop the old-age care model, which needs us to enrich and improve and find a new way. The elderly depend on the community. If there is not enough space in the community neighborhood committee, can we open an activity place in the community and organize the elderly to carry out some community pension activities such as calligraphy, painting and singing to help the elderly enrich their activities? In addition, the concept also needs to change. The main work of community neighborhood committees is to serve the community residents, and providing community pension should be one of the main businesses of the community, which is more significant than assisting the work of various government departments. If we do a good job of serving the residents, enrich their lives, make them happy physically and mentally, and thus alleviate their inner emptiness and loneliness, the society will be more harmonious and the government's work pressure will be reduced.
