Silver haired people surf the Internet, and moderate health is very important
2021-11-01
The aging adaptation transformation of Internet applications is being implemented on a large scale. In April this year, the Ministry of industry and information technology also issued the general design specification for aging adaptation of mobile Internet Applications (APP), which concretized the transformation requirements. These measures help silver haired people avoid being abandoned by the times and cross the "digital divide". Nowadays, the elderly have more internet entertainment and shopping, and there is less embarrassment that they can't do anything because they can't use the health code. But at the same time, it should be noted that while enjoying the convenience of digitization, silver haired people are also easy to indulge in the Internet, constantly brushing videos, playing games and shopping. Finding a balance between skilled use and moderate use and guiding the elderly to make healthy and appropriate use of the Internet need to attract the attention and attention of the whole society. With plenty of time, a free schedule, the curiosity of entering the Internet world and the rapid development of targeted intelligent algorithms... Compared with middle-aged and young people, the elderly do have more objective conditions to indulge. However, with the degradation of physical function, the elderly, like minors, show similar weaknesses in identifying information and self-restraint. In the current aging transformation process, some developers are actively exploring the operation logic more suitable for the elderly. They not only make the appearance elements such as font and interface more eye-catching, but also provide intimate services for the elderly, such as "one click taxi", "one click share with relatives" and "accompany radio", which meet the needs and pain points of the elderly and really think from the perspective of the elderly, Save time and effort, direct to the needs. This is what we should vigorously advocate. In the process of transforming the application, some developers still retain the functions of patch advertising and implied money making, regard the elderly as competing "customers", attract the elderly to surf the Internet for a long time and seek commercial interests, which obviously deviates from the original intention of the whole society to love and respect the elderly. For the elderly, the Internet should be more welfare than commercial. Similar to the protection of minors, relevant departments and enterprises can also establish an appropriate "anti addiction" system for the elderly to guide them to develop healthy use habits. Developers can periodically prompt the use duration in the application, and guide the elderly to learn simple relaxation methods to help them rest their eyes and relax their body posture. Relevant departments can also consider establishing contacts for software and hardware manufacturers, real-time monitoring and prompting the health data and Internet habits of the elderly with the help of new technical means such as wearable devices and face recognition, so as to create devices suitable for the elderly. Compared with the "Internet Aboriginal" generation, the elderly are at a higher risk of being cheated when surfing the Internet, which is a hidden danger for the elderly to indulge in the Internet. In addition to the strict control of relevant departments, efforts to eliminate deceptive information and urge the abandonment of inductive design, we should also mobilize the strength of the whole society to help the elderly improve their media literacy and learn the basic skills of Internet users. Give full play to the strength of communities, families and other people closest to the elderly, and organize cheated people and public security personnel to speak with their own examples. Children should actively enter the inner world of the elderly, be fully aware of the risks that the elderly may face in the process of surfing the Internet, remind and educate parents to enhance their awareness of prevention, help elders gradually learn to identify information sources, or make full use of the function of mobile phones to provide necessary help to elders through remote operation. To build an age inclusive and digital age-friendly society, we should not only make the elderly "able to use" the Internet, but also guide them to use "healthy" and "appropriate" land. This will not only benefit the current elderly group, but also make us grow old more calmly in the future. (outlook new era)
