Technology products around you: so close to the elderly but far away

[PConline Talk] Now 80/90/00 are full of increasingly powerful technology products, mobile phones, Wechat, Alipay, Mobike, drones, VR, etc., all of which make us live. More convenient and more colorful. However, for elderly moms and dads, grandparents and grandparents, maybe these things are dispensable, not because these technology products are useless to them, but more because they don’t have the opportunity or are not patient enough to accompany them. Guided to teach them how to use them, so today we have done a special plan to let every colleague go home to teach their elders to play with a new technology product and to understand how they feel, so that they can also experience Technology brings convenience.

After the elderly in our family used these high-tech products -

In fact, in the process of teaching them to play these things, they really have a lot of emotions. Just like our childhood innocence, dad and mom patiently instilled their knowledge and love into us. Now it's just the feeding process of the chicks. .. What do you feel after reading? Do you have the urge to share with the parents and grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents patiently about this wonderful world?

● WeChat articles: Accompany parents to keep up with the rhythm of this world

The work is very busy at ordinary times and it is not close to my parents all the year round. There is a lot of stress in big cities, and they can't get them to live. They living in the countryside, the outside world is really far away from them. The first thing I did when I was tying my parents to the world was to replace their “elderly mobile phone” with a smart phone.

For smart phones, it is very contradictory at first. One will not be used; second, too much trouble; three, easy to misuse. I remember just getting my cell phone and finally teaching her how to use the touch screen. She dialed a phone call instead of pressing the wrong button. My mother would like to bear with me: "My son, this mobile phone I can't use, you retired."

It took me a lot of effort to convince the mother to accept it. The old dad, who was seriously ill with the old flowers, could not stand the light of the screen and gave it up.

·WeChat: Mom says it's nice to have you!

With a smart phone, the church called and the second thing was to teach the mother how to use WeChat.

How to send text messages (directly afterwards, typing is too difficult for those of their generation); how to send language information (this is the power of WeChat, really used by the elderly); Video; of course, how to teach the mother how to send red envelopes, grab red envelopes. In the family group, my mom is always the most active one.

Later, she taught her how to check out the circle of friends and make friends. The troubles would follow suit. I wouldn't stop here. "My brother," my mother gave me countless snacks.

· In the young people's world, they should not be rejected:

I have been studying abroad for almost 8 years and have few opportunities to return home. Even though I have a phone call with my parents every once in a while, I can't understand my specific life or worry about it. Now when my mother is free at night, she will check out WeChat and chat with me. Sometimes I even connect to my neighbor’s Wifi and I’ll have a video call with me. Sometimes relatives and friends come to visit and my parents will also circle my friends and share my daily work life with others.

The parents are white and walking slowly. Even the most popular new words are not understandable. The young people’s world seems to close the door to them, but WeChat is like a window to narrow the distance with their parents in the winter. They warm their hearts.

● VR articles: Take mother and grandmother to experience immersive experience

If there is any technology product that is hot in 2016, then I think it must be VR (virtual reality). After all, in 2016, as a native of Guangzhou, I saw more and more VR around me. Experience the operation of the store, and also know that this wave should be maintained for some time, and after experiencing it, it still feels quite novel.

After all, I lived in Guangzhou and my work stayed in this bustling city in Guangzhou. So I went back to visit my parents and my elders for almost a weekly rest. With regard to some new technologies, my parents were better off than they were, and my grandparents came to me. The generation may have existed in a little understanding of this level (after all, I have a grandson who likes science and technology digitally). It is completely unclear what I experience and use. It also cost me a lot of money to teach my grandmother to use the old man. The power of two tigers!

And this time, I took a hot VR glasses case back in 2016 and gave my mother and my grandmother a taste. What will they feel about this immersive experience? Of course, I didn't go home with HTC Vive. After all, that thing... I can't afford myself.

Grandma said: There is a kind of immersive pleasure

For 80-year-old grandmother, when bringing VR glasses, she still has a lot of curiosity to ask me, saying that the picture inside is not under control of me? What are those scenes? (Grandma can only see you. I look outside you like a... don't describe it!) How does it work? Anyway, I asked me quite a lot.

After a brief introduction with my grandmother, I said that as long as you usually look at things, you can turn your head and the picture will naturally move. After a bit of familiarity, the grandmother basically understands how to read the picture. However, if Grandma wanted to switch between her videos, she still didn't understand how to use it. However, using VR glasses to let Grandma revisit the current Great Wall panorama video, she is still very excited, after all, she has been to the Great Wall of Beijing for decades.

For mothers, this kind of thing can be said to be easy to control, although my mother is retire, but the mobile phone I use is even more advanced than Xiao Bian! Or 128GB version (such a large memory, just want to use to brush Taobao, WeChat, take pictures ...). Go to Taobao shopping may be crazy than Xiaobian!

The VR glasses I was also the first time to take home to my mother to experience, in fact, she had seen this thing outside, but did not experience it, after she put on, simply say a few words, my mother Basically understand how to play, exit, return, select the video, all of them can be completed, I also admire my mother why can this tide.

As far as feelings are concerned, my mother and grandmother felt a sense of immersion after they had experienced it, but there was a flaw. The picture was blurred, and there was a kind of “look in the fog”, and this It is also the "common problem" that many VR glasses boxes have.

● iPad articles: Let elders reconnect to the world

The first thing I did after my job was to buy an iPad Air2 for my grandfather. Many people may feel that they don’t even buy older products for older people. Use it, buy a cheap Android tablet, and buying the iPad is too expensive to be worthwhile! But I must stand against the point of view. There is only one reason: You don't want to buy things for the elders. Because how do you feel that it is not easy for them to use them?

With iPad, I started teaching Grandpa to use WeChat to give me a video call. It is not easy to learn how old people can learn. First of all, you have to learn from the interactive mode, let him understand the difference between touch screen and key interaction, slowly. The old man will understand that the previous phone relied on it and now this thing is on the touch and WYSIWYG. I believe everyone can also see from the video that my grandfather is actually learning very fast, as long as several operations can be familiar!

Since I had an iPad, Grandpa often made video calls every three times. Even if I can't go home from afar, he can see me in this way. It makes him feel happy. At the same time he will also use the iPad to watch the news and watch videos. Now he does not buy newspapers, and I will also give grandfathers video calls when I go on business trips in various new places. For example: to climb the Great Wall, in Tiananmen Square, The top floor of Taipei 101 overlooks Taipei, the streets of Hong Kong, and churches in Macau. The elderly have not visited many places in their lives. Even if they are old, they are not suitable for running around. He went to see this world, I think it is very meaningful!

● Taobao article: teach grandma to be a "prodigal" twat

Everyone loves beauty. Many people think that people are old and clothes don’t need to pay attention. And many young people feel that the clothes of the older generation are very rustic. You are wrong. They just have their generation. Trends, maybe a lot of 00 will not understand the trend of our generation.

Although my grandmother is 70 years old, she also has her own personal pursuit for dress code. On weekends, she occasionally visits Grandma with her clothes to see clothes, but when she walks through a shop with her, she walks in with curiosity and then comes out to look like she is displeased. Few clothes can be seen by her. . Now that we can buy clothes and buy shoes, we can use Taobao. Why can't my grandma? So I decided to teach my grandmother how to go to Taobao.

My grandmother did not understand Pinyin. She only wrote it by hand. I always helped her to enter the category she wanted to buy items on the Taobao search bar. Then she let her slide on her iPad with her finger and she let her follow. I said, I pay.

There are many times when I will choose to dress with her next to my grandmother. But when I look at things that are often more expensive, I ask my grandmother how she feels about the clothes. Then grandmother says clothes are OK but expensive. Do not buy it. And I always say, "Buy it, baby! I've picked the cheapest, so what's so expensive?" Because in my heart, I saw that my grandmother put on the gratification of what she bought. Everything can't be given, so it's worth it.

· Same childhood as it is now—just changed the role

When I was young, the older generation taught us to walk and run, read and write, and now we are exposed to more new things. We teach them back with what we know; when we were young, my parents and grandparents told us to go shopping, and every time we returned The family is always reporting a large number to deceive them. Now they often deceive us with these words: "We are doing fine" and "We are full".

However, Xiao Bian has always been puzzled: before they have been with us, but now we grow up, should we spend more time with them?

● Drone articles: Install X essential weapon

Drone, I believe that people who first heard of this stuff easily mistaken it as a toy. In fact, the drastic development of drones in recent years has been well received by the people. Our understanding of it is not only that it can “fly”; it can do stunts (shuttles); in fact, what it can bring is a bird's-eye view of the visual enjoyment under the earth and leads us to explore the “unknown room”. Top "world.

However, Kazakhstan, but I first let Xiao Bian teach elders to play drones, and my mentality is rejected. why? Because the drone's lethality is still quite large, it does not matter if it is accidentally refreshed. In case of a collision, it will be inconceivable.

· Teaching the old man to play drones, the results of a small series lost a

Just when I took out a drone from my backpack, the nature of Father's love to play was revealed...

Fortunately, the entire teaching took off briefly - no chicken was fried for the first time. This is also related to more and more “fool” operations of drones. Like Xiao Bian, this kind of portable chicken is able to take off and hover through a button on the APP on the mobile phone, which directly eliminates the complicated operation process. Father said: "This thing is so simple, ah?!" After the first taste of sweetness, Father directly gave me a command: I also want a ... (The key is expensive, old man!)

·A bird's-eye view of the world, so that parents are also trendy

Standing high and seeing it far, the scene of drones shooting down from the sky is something that we cannot achieve with a professional camera. Indeed, parents at home may not be as well educated as our generation, but they are curious about finding trends and exploring the unknown, but they are no weaker than young people.

In today's increasingly prosperous living standards, the parents' efforts are nothing more than trying to give more for our children and let us work harder. However, material pursuits should not be all that our young people can give them. On the contrary, whether there is a drone or a cell phone or a computer, how can we make our parents keep up with the new era and how many times we perceive and recognize new things may be what our generation should really do.

● Sweeping Robots: Old people need technology more than us

When she was young, my mother needed to take care of her family while she was working. She didn’t pay attention to her body and she had cervical spondylosis. The illnesses of the retired cervical spine became more and more serious. Although the surgery was done at the hospital, the body was already worse than before. It was too much to do a bit of chores to do housework. Plus, the inflexibility of doing things with hands and feet was always a good thing. However, as a son, he had to run around for life, and he couldn't help his mother with housework. Therefore, the elderly people need more help than smart home appliances.

In fact, before long ago, he had purchased an intelligent sweeping robot for his mother. Although this sweeping robot is smart, because it was the first generation of early products, the mother could not feel the intelligence at all.

In the words of her mother, "It's like an SB squawking at home, sweeping the sweeping place, never sweeping away, and moving it, it will surely run again. I went back to the place I was sweeping around." "If you meet wires and the like, this guy is obsessed with a direct strike." "What's more terrible is the noise when they work, and they want to feel at ease and watch TV. No. "At the end of the day, this sweeping robot could not escape the fate of returning.

Technology is always advancing. It is a natural thing for young people, but it is not so for old people. Especially after having a bad experience, it takes a lot of energy to think about new things. And patience.

· Mom: This sweeping robot is smart?

This time I gave my mother a sweeping robot! The mother once again wondered if I was an Amway salesman? At this point I was speechless and right...

The new generation of sweeping robots is more intelligent and has more functions: sweeping and mopping can all be done. However, before using it, you need to read the manual carefully to understand it well. After 80s, you don't normally read the manual, let alone the older generation. So in the end, you learned how to teach your mom again.

My mother's worst impression of sweeping robots is uncontrolled. In order to eliminate this bad impression in my mother's heart, I picked a Pusniknik 790T sweeping robot with its own remote control, in case the remote control is gone. The phone can also be equipped with an APP for control. I taught my mother to press the "area" button on the remote control to make the sweeping robot more dirty and need to focus on sweeping. Pressing the "edge" button allows the sweeping robot to know which health corners to clean. Pressing the "recharge" button will allow the sweeping robot to automatically return to the place where it was charged... This kind of fooling operation may make it easier for our young people to learn, but it seems to take more time for Mom. To digest, after a night of guidance, the mother finally mastered this skill.

Most sweeping robots nowadays are intelligent in design, customization, appointments, and other functions are all done very thoughtfully. Indeed, for all aspects of our use, young generations can feel the results brought about by science and technology. Why? The elderly who need scientific and technological care are ignored? It is not difficult to teach them how to use it. It is difficult to find it difficult to have patience and communication with them. ”

Summary: Sometimes new technologies are not far away from them, but you are only one help

After experiencing this experience for the older generation of technology products, I feel that in fact the older generation of them are still very exposed to these new technology products, but if we don’t give them a little help and teach them how to use them, then the new technology and their The distance will be very far away.
