What can college students do for "empty nest elderly?

I read the recent Computer World magazine in the library a few days ago. Its cover is "Mom and Dad don't cry! -Follow the "empty nest elderly" report in the flood of numbers. After reading the report, I feel quite touched.

In this article, there is a saying "in the digital age, my parents accidentally become illiterate", which has become the emotion of many young working classes. Many children have equipped their parents with various digital devices to free them from being lonely and cold, but they have been overwhelmed by the flood of numbers. What a variety of digital devices bring to their parents is not the comfort of the soul, but the closer the distance, but the more at a loss ......

Communication is becoming more and more developed, and telephone fees are getting cheaper and cheaper, while children and their parents are getting farther and farther away.

Computers are becoming more and more simple, digital life is becoming more and more convenient, and the gap between old people and society is growing.

In the face of the "Digital Age", many old people have become "illiterate ".

Informatization and digitalization have turned into a flood of beasts, and they have no choice but to be involved.

In the face of this serious social problem, I think our college students have the responsibility and ability to make their own contributions to those "Empty Nest.

So how can we make some contribution to the "empty nest elderly" by using the resources of college students? How can we make the elderly enjoy the wonderful life of the rich Web Age and use the endless resources on the Internet more skillfully?

First, we need to understand what information needs the elderly and what problems the Internet can solve for them. "Always go home to see" sang the voices of all the elderly, this is their greatest hope, but the actual conditions are not allowed. How can elderly people not only hear their children's voices, but also can see distant relatives? Video Chat solves this problem! Video Chat can be used not only as a tool for communication between young people, but also as a channel for family communication. Let the old man see how Sun Tzu is doing at school? Is it fat or thin ...... In fact, it is difficult for the elderly to speak to their children. At this time, the Internet can provide such a way of communication, and these things may be more natural in the form of writing. In addition, many blogs and microblogs have developed into tools for parents to communicate with their children. The Internet not only meets the family needs of the elderly, but also has many other benefits: they can find their card friends and chess friends on the Internet, Enjoy entertainment information, watch Real-time news, and learn about the national events; send greetings to old friends in the distance by email ......

Can our college students do what we mentioned above? Of course, we have such capabilities. After being admitted to the university, we have proved that our basic knowledge is still very good. Moreover, studying various computer and network knowledge in a free university is a common dish in our daily life. This knowledge reserve is almost enough. Even if you encounter various new problems, I believe that college students with such strong learning ability will be able to meet the challenges in a short time and finally solve the problems. In fact, I think the biggest problem is communication. After all, the two are dozens of years different, not a generation. Outlook on life, world outlook, and values are all very different. This problem can only be solved by our college students. Adjust your mindset, learn skills to communicate with the elderly, and sincerely and patiently serve the elderly. This is no problem.

Who will do this? In fact, this is not a problem at the university. There are many tutors in colleges and universities, so it is hard to guide them to teach the elderly. This expands the tutoring market for college students. On the other hand, it can also partially alleviate the loneliness of the elderly. This is for families with better family conditions. There is also a solution for those who have no conditions. Our college students are very caring and many volunteer associations have been established in the school. They can work with the community neighborhood committee to prepare several computers in the Community activity room. We are enthusiastic about volunteer long-term counseling. In addition, we can promote this activity to nursing homes. Of course, it is better to cooperate with our Volunteers Association for a long term. Of course, there are still many other methods. We should make full use of various resources to solve this social problem.

As for what to teach and what procedures to follow, we still need to further explore in practice. Now let's talk about my own opinions. In my opinion, we need to consider the characteristics of the elderly. Some people have a high degree of culture and can teach more extensive applications. However, some old people do not even know how to type in pinyin. In this case, it may be easier to visualize the icons. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude in different situations not only tests the patience of the students but also the wisdom of communication. In addition, I think there is no need to deal with office applications, such as office applications. There are some basic computer operations, and more practical content that can immediately receive results. In short, we try our best to allow the old people to experience the emotional and spiritual satisfaction brought by computers and the Internet in the shortest time.

Dear grandparents, you may never worry about your loved ones in the distance. Pick up Internet tools and contact them!

Dear students and volunteers, take care of your grandparents with your love. So that they do not fall behind, they can also enjoy the life of the information age.

I believe that in the future, more and more elderly people will be able to enjoy the benefits of information life.
