In fact, most of our young people are not bad for money, not bad for filial piety, but poor for patience with their own old people!
The times are developing, thinking needs to be advanced, and it makes sense to use the traditional button machine for the elderly, but now it is 2023, and many elderly people prefer smartphones, and they are more suitable for using smartphones, and even playing mobile phones after retirement has become one of the main needs.
To be honest, I used to support the use of elderly phones for the elderly, and it was the kind of rugged model that has some Android functions, but with physical buttons. For me, there are three main benefits:
1) The function of the feature machine is simple and direct, the entry is fast, the operation is simple, what to choose and use, it will not add additional teaching troubles, and the maintenance cost is low for family members;
2) The physical button is more friendly to elderly users, which can ensure that the basic need to dial **, away from home, and communicate with the elderly directly.
3) The battery life is longer than that of smartphones, with large fonts and large volumes, and it can also support three-proof (AGM M6 or AGM M7 launched by the global three-proof brand AGM belongs to this category), which can be used for the elderly to simply listen to songs and dramas, and to find people at critical moments without dropping the chain.
These three, no matter which one of them are quite reasonable, but this is our perspective, and we do not consider the preferences and Xi of the elderly at all.
Once when I went home to visit the old man, I found him in the small pavilion downstairs with his old chess friends to watch the young lady dance. The feature phone used by the elderly in our family (in fact, it is a three-proof mobile phone with physical buttons with castrated Android system, supporting touch screen, but with a slightly smaller screen), and the smart phone used by the elderly (although it is an ordinary suspected Redmi thousand-yuan machine, but it is as complete as the mainstream Android mobile phone), the gap is too big.
People can play, our old people can only envy. Chatting about WeChat, watching ** and other contemporary popular leisure things, the elderly are very proficient in playing, and even know how to "take pictures and recognize pictures" These tips. In contrast, our old people's culture is not bad, when they were young, they were good at repairing electrical appliances, and now the mobile phone is not easy to use, so they can only look at other people's mobile phones to alleviate their leisure needs.
Oh, yes! Why can't the elderly pursue their favorite electronic devices and embrace the smart features that everyone is using? Just because the family thinks that this will bring extra energy consumption to themselves, do they default to the old man must use the "old and stupid" old man's machine?
You think the old man is very old-fashioned, in fact, the ideological stubbornness, we young people also have - the default old man can't learn, disgusted that the old man learns slowly, lack of patience, and lack of confidence in the old man, simply "give up" to the old man, resulting in some old people not using their favorite mobile phones.
Tell me, whose problem is this?
The correct approach should be to communicate with the elderly a lot, and through many attempts (tests), weigh the abilities of the elderly, such as whether they can understand important functions and whether they can happily play with conventional smartphones. If you are limited by your ability, you can choose the old man's machine; If there is any hope to learn, it is better to use a smart machine. The most important thing is that you should take out some energy to do a good job of "mobile phone teaching and tutoring" for the elderly step by step and patiently.
In fact, most of us are not short of money and love, but the difference is in this little bit of patience! When you were young, your parents and elders didn't think you were ignorant, and when they were old, you shouldn't be stupid. Take out your patience and wisdom, and you will find that there are not many elderly people who can learn to play with smart devices!
Our old people's culture is not low, we chatted a few words, and found that people do like smartphones - he also wants to record a high-definition ** souvenir when dancing in the square, and also wants to try the mobile phone map to see the world, and also wants to chat about WeChat brush short**, and like-minded netizens to communicate. At that time, he just wanted to save money for his children and didn't ask for any good mobile phones, so he accepted the "old man's machine", but in fact, these needs were suppressed, abandoned, and sacrificed by his children as a matter of course!
Speaking of which, what am I hesitating about? Soon I got a Redmi note12turbo, more than a thousand completely enough and easy to use mobile phones, there is always a suitable one, right! Next, we will teach him to play with intelligence step by step, where there is a will, there is a way!
In short, money is not an issue. In addition to those elderly people who have difficulty learning to use smartphones Xi, whether the family can patiently teach the elderly to use mobile phones, solve the confusion that frequently occurs when they use mobile phones in their daily lives, figure out the common sense of various smartphone anti-fraud, and avoid them from becoming addicted, etc., is the key to whether he can change a smartphone. It is not only up to the elderly themselves, but also on our loved ones. If you have understood what I mean, should you think about it: is it necessary to change the mobile phone of your old man?
